=== Description ===
Bred for battle, Marauder loves nothing more than fighting and destroying his enemies. Most perceive that he serves [[Tyrant]] like a vicious dog but, only follows the leader of the Praetorians for the slaughter.

=== Overview History ===
Michael White has always been the strongest and toughest man on the block, so when the [[Hamidon Wars]] threatened to ravage the Earth, White did what he did best—he fought back. Forming a ragtag group of fighters as the world was ending was no easy task, but through strength and determination, he did just that. He adopted the name Marauder and led his squad across the West. Under his watchful eye, thousands survived where none should have.

Impressed with his initiative and dedication, [[Tyrant|Emperor Cole]] granted Marauder the title of Praetor of Security. With his new role, Praetor White has been tasked with stamping out the Resistance, a job the [[Praetorian Police Department]] doesn't seem capable of handling alone. To combat this menace, he has formed the [[Powers Division]], a team of super-powered individuals handpicked by Praetor White himself. There is only one rule in the Powers Division: The strong make the rules.

=== Full History ===
Michael White grew up with one rule: The strong make the rules. His youth was spent joining petty street gangs and fighting rival gangs. There his size and strength were feared and earned him respect. When the [[Hamidon Wars]] began and the world fell into chaos, White saw an opportunity to rebuild the world stronger than before.

In the face of global annihilation, the land had turned lawless. White traveled the American Midwest, gathering whatever survivors he could find. He adopted the name Marauder and led his people in a long, bitter fight for survival. His self-appointed job was to restore order where chaos had taken hold. Only Marauder could muster any sort of authority in the region.

As Marauder traveled from town to town, city to city, he encountered more and more anarchy and was forced to stamp out petty raiders, warring gangs, and self-absorbed warlords. As the major population centers were overcome with the [[Devouring Earth]], Marauder was the only thing standing between the scores of refugees and certain death. He saved as many as he could.

After the wars ended and [[Hamidon (Praetorian)|Hamidon]] had been defeated, [[Tyrant|Emperor Cole]] and his [[Praetorians (Enemy Group)|Praetorian Guard]] came over the Rockies, uncertain if they would find any survivors. What they found amazed them. Not only had the people survived, they had managed to thrive under Marauder's leadership and strength. Normal men and women without super powers had defied the odds. Cole was duly impressed.

For his uncommon valor, Michael White was offered a place at Emperor Cole's side as head security of the new world order. He reluctantly left his flock, saying farewell to his brave comrades-in-arms, and embraced his new calling to shepherd the safety of all [[Praetoria]]. The years of hardship had paid off, and now Michael White is living his dream of a stronger, safer world.

For ''Going Rogue'', Marauder's Archetype was switched from [[Tanker]] to [[Brute]], along with his primary and secondary powersets switched with each other.

During the [[Lambda Sector Trial]], Marauder will have access to ''Nova Fist'', a PBAoE attack which does unresistable extreme damage to anyone caught within its radius. ''Artillery Barrage'' is autohit, and while it does insignificant damage, it reduces the speed and damage of whoever it is aimed at.  It is only used on targets which are at a distance away from Marauder and does not require line of sight.

=== Information ===
'''Commander of the PPD Powers Division'''

Praetor White claims the title of Commander of the Praetoria Police's [[Powers Division]], the 'Power Police'. As leader of the [[Praetorian Police Department]]'s Powers Division, he helps train all the new hopefuls. In doing so, he has the greenhorns fight amongst themselves to establish rank. It is strongly encouraged to challenge others, especially your superiors. Because of this the streets are full of green Powers Division recruits trying to get a leg up. Known as Marauder during the darkest days of the [[Hamidon Wars]], White is well known throughout the city and respected as much as he is feared.

=== Prior to Introduction ===
Well, well, well, what do we have here? No, seriously, who are you? I don't have you on my Powers Division recruits roster. You'd better go sort that out because it is not my job to make sure you can sign your name on the forms.

=== Initial Contact ===
{{hidden|Praetor White Initial Dialogue: Resistance|bg1=#AADBE0|{{Mission Briefing|Contact=Praetor White|Text=
{{darkorange|Praetor White looks at you beneath his glasses, cracking his neck. }}

{{Character}}, heard a lot of things about you. Don't go getting all cocky just 'cause you took down some member of the Resistance. You're talkin' to the guy who fought durin' the Hamidon Wars, so I ain't impressed hearin' that someone took down a stupid idealist who could use a gun. 

But you got my attention, so that means something - for now. 

You got some spark in you, even if you're still on the same level as most of the super-powered dogs here in Praetoria. Me? I'm the Top Dog, I keep all the other powered dogs in line. 

You wanna get noticed, you break yourself away from the pack and join mine. That what you're trying to do, {{Character}}? 

*{{green|That's the idea, Praetor White.}}

I see a lotta ambition in you, {{Character}}, but that ain't gonna give you a free pass into my group. 

If you really wanna get through the Powers Division though, we're gonna have to make sure you've got the skills it takes to stand side by side with us. You think you've got what it takes? 'Cause I ain't got time to babysit any dogs when I could just throw you away.

*{{green|I've got what it takes, believe me. What's next?}}

:{{DialogueLoop}} ''(A)''

{{ReverseGray|''If you sent the Clockwork topside:''}}
*{{green|I delivered that Clockwork to you, didn't I?}}

:That was you, huh? Reese told me he was the one who tracked down that piece of tin.

:Yeah, you did good on that. We found out the location of one of their bases with that piece of Clockwork. Looks like those punks have been snatching Clockwork from right under our noses to use for themselves! Maybe this little encounter will teach 'em to keep their grubby paws to themselves, at least 'till I get a hold of them to cut 'em off!

:*{{green|Alright, what's next?}} ''(A)''

::Next huh? 

::We start working, that's what's next! 

::Get yourself used to being in the high society of the Loyalists, then come to me and we can get moving towards keeping the peace here in Praetoria.

::*{{green|Will do}}}}}}

::{{DialogueLoop}} ''(A)''

{{ReverseGray|''If you expressed doubts to Reese:''}}

Tough talk now that you're with me, {{character}}. Seems like you changed your tune from just a while ago. Reese told me how you were wantin' out of the Powers Division.

Seems funny that you're suddenly all gung-ho about it. Maybe you got wise, or maybe you got a trick up your sleeve.

All I know is that I'm gonna be keepin' my eye on you. You got some potential, talkin' to Reese like that, but we'll have to see if you've got what it takes to hold your own within ''my'' group in the Powers Division.

*{{green|I can handle whatever is thrown at me.}}

:Hah! That's the spirit! Before we get underway, {{Character}}, there's something you should know. 

:There's a lot of stuff to be done here in Praetoria - keeping the peace and what not. 

:Even more, though... we need to really strike at the heart of the Resistance. You finding that Clockwork for us, it helped, but those guys are like cockroaches. They're crawling all over the place and making things harder for us. 

:Once you prove yourself as a member of the Powers Division, you can either continue doing work with the Loyalists, or you can go undercover into a Resistance cell. You'll have to do a lot of ugly things for those scum in the Resistance, but it'll help us get some inside dirt on them - like wherever their main hub is. 

:{{color|darkorange|You have the option as a member of the Loyalists to do missions on the sides of the Resistance. They will play through normally, however at certain points you will be able to contact a high-ranking official in the Loyalist to add options to the mission to swing events in favor of the Loyalists.}}

Listen up, 'cause I'm only going to say this once. Praetoria City's filled with yappin' little dogs like you. And do you know who I am? I'm the top dog. Keep that in mind and maybe you'll get to hang out in my pack. You put all the other dogs in their place and you get noticed. Don't and you get to sleep in the back alleys. Get what I'm sayin'? 

The name's Mr. White, but between me and you, you can call me Mr. White. Got it? While Emperor Cole's off saving the world, I'm in charge of the muscle. I work hard to keep this city safe from the tunnel rats who think they can take away all we've worked for. That's where my Powers Division comes into play. I'm the Division, and all of you guys are my Power. 

Now that we got that straight, stop with the jibberjabber and let's get down to business.

=== Greeting ===
I've got five good reasons why you shouldn't bother me. If you keep bugging me, I'll show them to you all at once.

=== Too Busy ===
I suggest you take care of your other business and take care of it fast. When Marauder's got something for you to do, you don't keep him waiting, got it? 

=== Too Low Level ===
''None''

=== No More Missions ===
I ain't got time for you, fool! Get out there and keep Nova Praetoria safe from criminal punks, you got it?
