Level 15-19
There's a technology expert named Fareed Abdullah you should talk to. He's a very interesting guy and knows a great deal about the Clockwork and the Lost. Fareed deals with folks out of Steel Canyon these days.
Fareed is very kind and courteous.
There's a great young historian you should talk to named Wyatt Anderson. He's an expert on the history of all things super-powered, and he can be a big help to new heroes like you. He's especially interested in taking down the Clockwork and the Trolls. Wyatt's research has him in Steel Canyon these days.
Wyatt has a wealth of information.
There's a Hmong businessman named Kong Bao who's a real leader in his community. You should talk to him. I'm sure you'd find him quite helpful, especially when it comes to the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Mr. Kong has strong ties to Skyway City.
You will be helping a great man, Character.
You should meet Tom Bowden. He's an NSA agent recently assigned to Paragon City. His first assignment is trying to crack the Clockwork puzzle, but he also has a chip on his shoulder for the Lost. Tom's government connections have him in Steel Canyon these days.
Tom is very focused, and knows what he is doing.
Have you ever met Vitaly Cherenko, the mystic healer? He's a walking hospital, only he uses magic instead of bandages. You should talk to him and see if you can help each other defeat the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. Vitaly can usually be found in Skyway City.
Many people don't understand the work Vitaly is doing, but that doesn't mean it's not important.
Did you ever see that weekly paper, the Asian Paragon? Well, its publisher, Olivia Chung, is a great woman. She knows all about what's going on in the immigrant community and has helped more than one hero sort out a jam involving the Vahzilok or the Outcasts. Olivia has her offices in Steel Canyon.
You won't meet many people as good-hearted as Olivia.
I know a courier named Guy Denson who would like to meet you. He runs all over town delivering important packages, and he's helped lots of heroes with the Clockwork and the Lost. Guy's routes have him in Steel Canyon now.
Guy will steer you to the heart of trouble.
Dr. Ann-Marie Engles is a real expert in the field of cybernetics. She is fascinated with the technical aspect of the Vahzilok and the social impact of the Outcasts. Dr. Engles has set up shop in Skyway City.
You'll learn a lot from Dr. Engles; she's always happy to lend heroes a hand.
Mark Freeman is a mutant with the ability to communicate with machines. He has been focusing his attention on the Clockwork activity lately, altough he's also interested in the mysterious Lost. Mark makes his home in Skyway City.
Mark can be a little brusque, but he has a connection that no one else can possibly match.
Agent Pavel Garnier from the FBI asked me to send you to him. He thinks you could help him with some of his cases involving the Vahzilok and the Outcasts. Pavel is currently looking into something in Skyway City.
A positive connection with the FBI is a very good thing to have.
Maggie Greene is a class act and a good reporter. She'll do good by you. Her investigations have led her to focus on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Maggie files her reports in Skyway City.
Maggie has better instincts than almost anyone I know. Listen to her and you will have plenty of action.
You'd never guess it to look at her, but the sculptor Virginia Hoffman really knows a lot about what's going on in this town, especially with the Tsoo and the Circle of Thorns. You should talk to her. Ms. Hoffman lives in Steel Canyon these days.
Virginia is very eccentric, but she has a good heart and is really interested in doing the right thing.
Have you ever heard of Master Thao Ku? He's an amazing martial arts teacher, as well as a truly enlightened person. You should meet with him sometime and discuss the Tsoo or the Circle of Thorns. Master Thao has his dojo in Skyway City.
Well done, Character. Master Thao will steer you straight.
Did you ever hear of the Red Tiger? He retired right after the war, and now he's just Jake Montoya. He may not wear a costume anymore, but he can sure help those who do, especially with information on the Clockwork and the Trolls. Jake has retired to Skyway City.
Jake has his eye out for new blood to take up the mantle of heroism.
Have you ever read Juliana Nehring's column? She's an Internet reporter who specializes in super-powered villains. She's always looking for new sources to help her investigate the latest Vahzilok and Outcast activities. Juliana files her stories in Skyway City.
Juliana is tough as nails and is willing to do whatever it takes to get a story.
Do you have any contacts with Hero Corps yet? Even if you do, you should really talk to Colleen Saramago. I think she'd be happy to give you some assignments dealing with the Clockwork and the Trolls. Hero Corps has stationed Colleen in Steel Canyon.
Hero Corps has a very good information network.
Level 20-24
I'd like you to meet Oswald Cuthbert. He's a probation officer and thus has a lot of contact with the sordid side of Paragon City. He often uses heroes like you to help him out with the Sky Raiders and the Council. Oswald can get you Training Enhancements.
Good choice, Character, and good hunting
Wil Eziquerra is an excellent reporter who specialized in stories on the Sky Raiders and the Council. His sources usually keep him stocked up with Training Enhancements.
Wil is going to be a great resource for you, Character.
I've been asked to introduce you to Lt. Gosford from the Paragon City Police Department. He runs a special unit that is focused on bringing down the Sky Raiders and the Council. Gosford's connections within the department give him access to Training Enhancements.
Gosford is used to working with heroes. You will get along fine.
My friend Justin Greene has asked to see you. He's a coordinator for his local community watch group. He used to be a hero, so he knows how to help you clean up groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. Justin has access to Training Enhancements.
I think Justin will like you a great deal, Character.
Detective Rondel Jackson is a great guy to talk to if you want the police perspective on groups like the Sky Raiders and the Council. He's also the one to talk to if you need Training Enhancements.
Detective Jackson is a hardworking straight-shooter. He won't steer you wrong.
I think you should talk to John Strobel from the Citizen Defense Coalition. It's a group of ex-military and law enforcement officers that helps heroes like you from time to time. Right now their attention is focused on the Sky Raiders and the Council. John has a few sources that can get him Training Enhancements.
John is very patriotic and somewhat idealistic, but he's got a keen eye for trouble.
Information
Police Detective
Paragon City is not known for attracting the best police officers in the world. With so many super-powered heroes breaking cases, it's tough for a good cop to make a real impression. Detective Karen Parker is an exception. She's got a first-rate investigative mind and has broken a number of high profile cases that even the best heroes couldn't solve. She attributes her successes to her lack of special powers, since it means she must rely on her wits. She has mixed feelings about the city's heroes. As a realist, she knows they're vital to the city's welfare, but she sometimes wishes they behaved a little more responsibly. Still, once a hero earns her respect, she has no qualms about working with him or her to solve crimes. For Karen, the most important thing is getting the criminals off the streets and making the case stick in court.
Prior to Introduction
I'm kind of busy here. I think Active Contact may need you.
Initial Contact
You may have heard that I am not too happy with some of the heroes in this town. That's true, but I base my judgments of people on their actions.
Greeting
- Got some rough ones for you.
- I want you to look into some things for me.
Too Busy
You've got a number of outstanding cases already.

Speak with Longbow Liaison for Bloody Bay
Briefing
I'm sure you've heard about what's going on in Bloody Bay. Longbow is recruiting heroes there to fight against the villains coming in from the Rogue Isles. Go talk with the Longbow Warzone Liaison for Bloody Bay over in Skyway City.
Mission Acceptance
The Longbow Liaison will give you an appraisal of the situation in Bloody Bay. You can then make the choice whether you want to get involved or not.
Unnecessary Solicitation
Have you met with the Longbow Liaison yet?
Mission Objective(s)
- Speak to Longbow Liaison
Greetings, Character. I'm the Longbow Liaison for the Hero versus Villain PvP zone of Bloody Bay. Bloody Bay is a Player Vs. Player zone. Bloody Bay is VERY dangerous, and if you go there, you almost certainly will be attacked by other players. Do not enter Bloody Bay unless you are willing to engage in Player Vs. Player combat.
If you are interested in entering Bloody Bay, you can get there by climbing up to the rooftop of this building via the fire escape and talking with the helicopter pilot. Once you get to Bloody Bay, you can speak with Warzone Agent Eckman in the Longbow-controlled safe zone. She can provide you with your missions taking place throughout the zone. These missions will allow you to change the course of the battle by providing boosts to Heroes or penalties to Villains. Good luck!
Debriefing
I hope the Longbow Liaison provided you what you need to know about Bloody Bay.
Arrest every Council soldier in the warehouse (15-19)
Briefing
A group of Council agents lead by Boss Name just made a huge strike against a power substation, and now they're on the run. I've received word that they're hiding out in a local warehouse. I need you to arrest every Council soldier in that warehouse. You'll have to do it before they change positions. You only have 1 hour to arrest the Council soldiers.
If Boss Name makes his escape, this mission will be a failure.

Boss Name intended to use this escape plan to flee the country. It lists a number of Council safe houses.
Debriefing
Glad to see I can trust you with rapid response missions, Character. This escape plan you found is incredible! With this information, we should be able to prevent other Council villains from escaping justice!
Hit the streets in Boomtown and find a sample of the code (15-19)
Briefing
I've received word that the Council is pioneering a new cipher in Boomtown, and is maintaining a major cell somewhere in Boomtown. If you could recover a sample of that cipher, it would really help us get a bead on the Council's current plans. I need you to hit the streets in Boomtown and try to recover a sample of that code. Can you do it?
Mission Acceptance
The Council often trains in Primer and the Cannonade. I reccomend you to get to work in those neighborhoods.

I really need a sample of that cipher.

Good work, Character! I'll get a cryptologist I know to work on this code right away.
Interrogate a few Council soldiers (15-19)
Briefing
We've been seeing a lot more Council soldiers on the streets lately. I think they're gearing up for something big, and I need to find out what. Will you interrogate a few Council soldiers? Maybe you can figure out what's behind their sudden increase in numbers.
Mission Acceptance
Boomtown is the best place to look for Council.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We still don't know what is behind the Council's sudden increase in numbers.
Mission Objective(s)
- Question soldiers about plans
- Defeat 15 Council
On one of the Council soldiers, you found a list of targets.
Enemies
You took this list off a Council soldier. It enumerates several intended targets, including a munitions warehouse, an army base, and an aircraft manufacturer.
Debriefing
This list of targets you found should allow us to anticipate the Council's attacks. Good work, Character.
Recover the scroll of the Spirit Dragon from the Tsoo (15-20)
Briefing
For quite some time the Tsoo have held the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon. I think I've located the base where they're keeping it. Will you recover the scroll of the Spirit Dragon from the Tsoo? If we don't move quickly, the Tsoo may move it to anothe location. You only have 75 minutes to recover the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon.
Mission Acceptance
Crazy Phoenix is the chief guardian of the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon. He is deadly in battle.
Unnecessary Solicitation
We cannot miss this opportunity to get the Scroll of the Spirit Dragon away from the Tsoo.

Debriefing
The Scroll of the Spirit Dragon once belonged to a powerful hero called Flamebreak. She died during the Rikti War, but I'm sure her family will be happy to have the scroll returned. Maybe another hero can now take up the mantle of Flamebreak.
Recover some of the Tsoo's tattooing materials (15-20)
Briefing
I need to know more about the Tsoo tattooing process. I think those designs may have something to do with the Tsoo's strange powers. I've got a lead on a Tsoo tattooing parlor set up in an old office. I want you to get over there and recover some of the Tsoo's tattooing materials. Maybe you and I can get to the bottom of this mystery.

The tattoo parlor is run by a Tsoo called Mad Thunder. If you can arrest him, he may be willing to tell us what we want to know.

Thanks for getting these tattooing materials, Character. Mad Thunder admitted the inks have magical properties, though he won't tell me exactly how they work. Maybe with MAGI's help, I can learn more.
