Indigo and her partner Crimson are very different personalities but they make a deadly team.

Harvey Maylor is a loudmouth and a sensationalist, but he is on the hot on the trail [sic] of the Carnival of Shadows. He loves to work with heroes, especially ones skilled with magic, and can provide Relic and Focus Enhancements.

I hope you don't mind being on the cover of the Paragon Tattler, Character.

Unai Kemen is the Security Chief for the Portal Corporation. He is on the front line of the dimensional war. He can offer Gadget and Relic Enhancements.

The dimensional rips on Peregrine Island are increasing, Character.

Information

Former Heroine

In the early days of the Statesman's costumed career, he worked with a woman called Madame Danger. Maria Jenkins, as she called in her other identity, was his closest friend and confidant for many years. Slowly her powers began to fade with time but she was aging quite slowly. When she met Statesman in the 1930's she appeared to be in her mid twenties. Although she is retired, Maria certainly does not look over a hundred years of age. Maria was the first to deduce Statesman's kidnapping by Tyrant years ago, and is happy to have her friend returned to her.

Prior to Introduction

I think you should still be speaking with Active Contact.

Initial Contact

Well hello there. You must be Character. I have been hearing a lot about you. If anyone can help me with the problems I am trying to solve, I am sure it will be you.

Greeting

• I am glad to see that you don't have any quit in you, Character.
• This is a difficult time for us all.
• We must find a way to persevere.

Too Busy

Badge Missions

Take down Nightstar

Briefing: Black Shroud Dimension

Are you familiar wiht the Praetorian version of Luminary? She calls herself Nightstar, and she's a self-aware robot like Siege, only she seems a little bit crazy. She believes her power comes from a place called 'the Black Shroud', another dimension that she recently gained access to.

We have gotten word from the resistance that she is making her monthly pilgramage to the Black Shroud dimension, and this would be a perfect time to strike, taking her down without fear of Praetorian reprisal. We need you to go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar, can you pull this off for us, Character?

• Go to the Black Shroud dimension and take down Nightstar

You'll want to check the rooftops for Nightstar and her minions. That's where they can usually be found.

Unnecessary Solicitation

This is our best time to strike!

Mission Objective(s)

The Black Shroud dimension is cloaked in eternal night. Strange forces are at play here.

• Take down Nightstar
  • Defeat Nightstar & her guards

You defeated Nightstar.

Enemies

Warworks

Notable NPCs

• Nightstar (Archvillain)

Nightstar dialogue

Before Combat:

These nights keep me sane. They keep me in touch with my power.

Combat Start:

I have the power of the Black Shroud! It will be more than enough to finish you!

Debriefing

So, Nightstar really believes that she possesses the power of an entire dimension? Well, I guess for all I know, it could be true. After all, there are more things in Paragon City than are dreamt of in your philosophy, Character. True or not, Nightstar will be licking her wounds for a time. You've weakened a big threat, my friend; you should be proud.

Spending time in this zone earns heroes and vigilantes the Shrouded Badge.

Shrouded This otherworld has been overshadowed by corrupting magic.

Spending time in this zone earns villains and rogues the Shady Badge.

Shady A trip back to Paragon City confirmed it: You're the shady type of person other people are right to be afraid of.

Defeat Marauder and destroy the portal

Briefing: The Marauder's Cell

I heard you were responsible for taking down Marauder, Anti-Matter, and Neuron earlier this month. They got tossed in the Zig, but while they were setting up their 'special containment', they each broke out.

Neuron and Anti-Matter had the smarts to figure out how to portal back to Praetoria, but Marauder got left behind. I heard he gathered up the remnants of the invasion force he brough here and they are holed up in a warehouse. They are planning something big and I need you to go in and take him down. You've done it once, I know you can do it again.

• Wipe out Marauder's cell

Marauder may have his metal mits on a portal back to Praetoria. If you find it, destroy it, it's better he's here where we can keep a closer eye on him.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Marauder's recapture is your number one priority, Character.

Mission Objective(s)

Scuff marks on the floor testify to lots of recent activity.

• Defeat Marauder and destroy the portal
  • Destroy the portal!
    
  • Take down Marauder

You have dispersed Marauder's cell.

Enemies

Imperial Defense Force

Notable NPCs

• Marauder (Archvillain)

Marauder dialogue

Before Combat

Man, I want to find Character and make them pay for what they did to me.

Combat:

Oh, it's like Christmas morning! I know just what I want to rip open, too!

I ain't going down like last time!

Yeah, you're just makin' me mad!

Ok, kid gloves are off!

No, not again!

Defeated:

I ain't going back to jail!

Debriefing

From what I've heard, Marauder is the most dedicated of Emperor Cole's lackeys. I'm happy he's back behind bars for now. Having a cell of Praetorians right here in Paragon City is extremely dangerous.

Completion of this mission earns a hero the Agent accomplishment badge.

{{#explode:File:Badge stature 15.png|,|0}}{{#explode:File:Badge stature 15.png|,|1}}

Agent You wiped out a cell of Marauder's forces right here in Paragon City.

Wipe out Marauder's cell

Bug! This mission is the older Badge mission and is still given out by Maria Jenkins (possibly an oversight). The current and correct (in terms of briefing, story and content) badge mission is shown above as Defeat Marauder and destroy the portal.

Briefing: The Marauder's Cell

Hold onto your hat, Character. I've got a lead on a Praetorian incursion into Paragon City itself. It seems that Marauder has set up a military base over on Peregrine Island! I don't have to tell you that there are a lot of valuable military targets on that island. Nor do I have to tell you how quickly this situation could become deadly. You've got to get to Peregrine Island and wipe out Marauder's cell.

• Wipe out Marauder's cell

It may be that Marauder has a stable portal back to his home world. If so, you'll need to destroy it.

Unnecessary Solicitation

Marauder's infiltration cell is the single greatest threat to Paragon City's security.

Mission Objective(s)

Scuff marks on the floor testify to lots of recent activity.

• Defeat all villains in base
  • Destroy the portal!

You have dispersed Marauder's cell.

Enemies

Praetorians

Notable NPCs

• Marauder (Archvillain)

Marauder dialogue

Before Combat

Serve Tyrant or die!

Combat Start

For Tyrant

Debriefing

From what I've heard, Marauder is the most dedicated of Tyrant's lackeys. It's disturbing that he found his way into Paragon City and went so far as to set up a base. I've asked Portal Corporation to keep a tighter lock on any unauthorized portal activity. In the meantime, I hope you'll be prepared to help me defend Paragon City from any future invasions.
