You should introduce yourself to Jose Escalante, an important business man who helps heroes fight criminals who impact business and commerce, such as the Council and the Devouring Earth. He works mostly with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration Enhancements.
Jose is the kind of person that has kept Paragon City running, despite all the disasters we've faced. We can all learn a lot from him.
Merisel Valenzuela is dedicated to freedom, especial freedom of information. She has many details on the Devouring Earth and the Council. She's very dedicated to her work with mutants and has access to Focus and Genetic Alteration enhancements.
Good luck with Merisel, I think you will find her point of view refreshing.
Information
Hero Corps Representative
Ashwin Lannister is rising quickly throught the ranks of Hero Corps, largely due to his experience during the Rikti War. As a military intelligence analyst, Ashwin helped coordinate the defense of Washington, D.C. He was also one of the handful of analysts allowed direct access to Rikti prisoners. Since joining Hero Corps, however, he's been assigned some of the lesser but still dangerous villain groups, like the Council. He finds them rather fascinating, and he's working hard to compile a fuller understanding of the group's beliefs and goals. With the help of the heroes he works with, he's having a fair degree of sucess.
Initial Contact
I had hoped you would come to me. I have a lot of information, and I need dependable help to deal with it.

Protect Senator Farnsworth from Council agents
Briefing
I hope you already had your good day, 'cause I am about to make it a lot worse. I was told to get word to you that the Council is planning to kidnap Senator Farnsworth and his entire staff. Farnsworth is giving a speech in Jannissey Heights today, and I'll bet good money the Council plans to strike there. You need you to get to Jannissey Heights right away to save Senator Farnsworth. You'll only have 90 minutes to save those people.
The clock is ticking on this one, so listen carefully. The Council will be after not just Senator Farnsworth, but all of his staff. You'll have to rescue every last volunteer. Saving them isn't the end of it though; you'll also need to defeat Archon Pascale, the operative in charge of the assassination. Otherwise, those people will never be safe.
Mission Objective(s)
Two dead security guards are a sure sign that the Council is already in the area.
- Stop Archon Pascale & his crew - 1:30 timed
- 7 people to rescue
You rescued Senator Farnsworth and his staff
Notable NPCs
- Archon Pascale (Council Penumbra Cor Leonis Archon))
- Senator Farnsworth (Hostage) aka Congressman Hadley
Enemies
Debriefing
Senator Farnsworth wanted to thank you for rescuing him, but the Secret Service wouldn't let him come in person. I can understand their caution. The Council has been known to brainwash politicians, then sit back like a bunch of sick puppet masters pulling their strings. It's a good thing you stopped them today.
Go to the warehouse, defeat Agamon, the Champ, and anyone with them
Briefing
The Warriors are flexing their muscles again. This time one of their leaders, Agamon, has set up a contest in an old warehouse against one of the Freakshow, called the Champ, to prove who is superior. Bad guys beating on each other isn't that big a worry, but whichever side loses will probably take out their frustration on any innocent person who happens to be in the way. Go to the warehouse, defeat Agamon, the Champ, and anyone with them. We need to stop their games.
There are certain to be enemies from both groups all over the location, but you don't have to defeat all of them to bring an end to this. If you can defeat Actaeon and the champ and all of their hangers-on, that should be enough.
Mission Objective(s)
Something in the air indicates that a conflict is inevitable.
- Bust gang leaders, their crews
You have defeated Actaeon, the Champ, and their minions.
Enemies
Notes
- There doesn't appear to actually be any enemies named The Champ or Agamon. Clearing the last room satisfies the mission objective.
- The name of the warrior leader is spelled two different ways in the briefing.
Debriefing
That should let everyone know who the real champion is.
Capture Dr. Ricci
Briefing
The Council has been hard at work developing new and improved super-soldiers as part of their Cor Leonis project. I've had some contacts of mine keeping an eye on their project, and I have a breakthrough that needs investigating. I've gotten word that a Dr. Ricci, the Archon of a Council Base, has pioneered a new Cor Leonis project. Capture Dr. Ricci and I'm sure he can lead us to the main lab.
Dr. Ricci is your main objective. He's a base commander, so he's sure to be well protected and isn't likely to go down without a fight. Once you have him, he should be able to tell you what you need to know to find the main research facility.
Mission Objective(s)
The Council maintains several bases beneath Paragon City. It's only through the constant vigilance of the city's heroes that they haven't expanded further.
- Capture Dr. Ricci & his guards
You have captured Dr. Ricci. Upon interrogating him, you learn about a placed called Hercules Bioengineering in Boomtown.
After his defeat, Dr. Ricci told you: 'I am a man of science; these sorts of confrontations don't sue me. I'll tell you what you want. There is a facility code-named 'Hercules' where most of the work is being done. It is located beneath the Boomtown zone, through a secret entrance. I can tell you this in safety, because I am certain you will never be able to take it. Professor Romano will defend his project with everything in his power.
Notable NPCs
- Dr. Ricci (Council Vortex Cor Leonis Archons)
Enemies
Mission Objective(s)
The sewer entrance leads to a high tech lab. This must be the right place.
- Defeat Romano & his men
- 3 pieces of unrecovered research
You have recovered the research, and shut down the project.
This research file contains the gruesome data on Cor Leonis experiments dating back to the 1940's. Buried amongst the numbers are reference to data from the radical 'Vampyri' process. Recent research notes talk about the cross-application of radical genetic enhancements.
The markings on these vials of gene samples indicate that the Council has been trying to alter its methods of making Cor Leonis, forgoing their normal regimen of drugs and cybernetics in favor of a model based on genetic research.
These mechanical and bio-mechanical cyborg parts include stronger replacements for bones, muscles, skin and even nerve tissue.
Notable NPCs
- Professor Romano (Council Penumbra Cor Leonis Archons)
Enemies
Debriefing
Great job shutting down project Hercules. I've been worried about the Council's advances in Cor Leonis research, but you've headed their research off for a while. Maybe Dr. Ricci and Professor Romano end up sharing a cell, they'll have something to talk about.
Actually, I think I'm going to call a friend at the Brick House to make sure those two are in separate cell blocks. Just in case.
