Arachnos/Mu Mystics
Overview
Descended from the long lost nation of Mu and drafted into Arachnos, these beings handle most of its mystical interests.
The Mu Mystics is the Arachnos all-Magical division, formed exclusively by people of Mu blood heritage.
The Mu Mystics are a relatively new division in Arachnos' web but early evidence indicates they may well be one of the most powerful. Their part in the Paragon City Power Crash raises their potential threat rating to the highest levels.(1)
Apparently, those working in other Arachnos subdivisions who are discovered to be of Mu descendance are transferred to this group.(2)
This group's history is intimately related to the old civilization of Mu, its conflict with Oranbega and the Circle of Thorns and, above everything else, their blind faith to their beloved goddess Hequat. The group's internal policies may be bizantine and, given their previous history, some in Arachnos wonder where their true loyalties are.
This group is under the command of Scirocco
NOTABLE MU MYSTICS
Virtually nothing is known about Calamity, other than the fact that he was active back in the 60s. Perhaps was one of the first Mu Mystics to be in service of Arachnos... or perhaps not.
Mu'Drakhan is a prominent political figure and potential leader among the Mu. He's a proud and ruthless man.
Although Archmage Tarixus wears a uniform similar to that of Mu Mystics and shares a similar floating pose, he is not in service of Arachnos.
