Introductions

Contact Introduced By

Contact Introduces

Let me know if you want me to get you in touch with Tami Baker.

Tami Baker is Praetor Sinclair's personal secretary. Because of that, she tends to have information on every little detail here in Imperial City. She also has been known to work with Mr. G. I'm almost inclined to say calling her a 'secretary' is limiting the scope of what she is actually capable of.


Information

Former Mage

Transmuter was once a powerful mage who could turn material around him into anything he needed with a simple flick of his wrist. He even fought alongside Emperor Cole and Praetor White during the Hamidon Wars. Transmuter's magic was powered by his third eye and a magical medallion. Transmuter's medallion was shattered by Reese, who smashed it into pieces during his induction into Powers Division. Reese was proclaimed the new 'Top Dog', while Transmuter was re-assigned to Imperial City.

Prior to Introduction

Hrm, I think I've heard of you. Character. That's right. Well, I have nothing at all to speak with you about. I'd love to chat some more, but a man of my position is really busy. Why don't you try coming back later? Yes, you should do that.

Wrong Alignment

Our two destinies aren't supposed to collide, Character, not while you value what you do.

Initial Contact

Briefing

If you did not complete the Power story arc in Nova Praetoria

Ah, Character, it's excellent that you've come to talk to me. Mr. G has told me all about you. My name is The Transmuter, fighter of the Hamidon Wars, aid to Emperor Cole, organizer of Powers Division in Imperial City. The fact that you're here speaking to me now can only mean that Mr. G believes that I can help you, given my lofty position here in Imperial City.
Normally, I don't help regular people, I tell them what to do. But you, you're a bit different now, aren't you, Character? Saving Edward Polstra from those members of the Resistance, just to name one of the many things you've done. I can see you and I taking to the skies, lighting up Imperial City with our glory. Perhaps, we may even find a new source for my magical powers. Wouldn't that be something?
  • Sure. Now, Mr. G said you'd be providing me with a squad...?
Yes! That I am. We in the Powers Division want to really make a push to show our true might, flex our muscles, if you will. Who better to do it than you, the man / woman who saved Eddie Polstra, amongst other claims to fame? You've been assigned five members of Powers Division, all who will follow your orders.
Their names are Riptide, Zane, Aria, Stern, and Warrant.
They're all waiting to be deployed, so when you're ready, speak with me again and we can begin.
  • I'm ready to go now.
  • Will do.

If you completed the Power story arc in Nova Praetoria

Character! So good to see you, really it's a pleasure. I'm sure Mr. G has gone at lengths to tell you about me. But it's only proper for me to introduce myself in person, yes? You can call me The Transmuter, or Transmuter for short.
I have to say, I've heard all about you, ever since you put Reese in his place. Do you happen to know about the little...rivalry, Reese and I had?
  • No...what was it?
I'll tell you all about it. I used to be very high up there in Powers Division, you know. Not just sitting behind a desk all day long. I was one of the very first 'Top Dogs', as Praetor White would say. I participated all the time in our induction ceremonies, held in the Magisterium. I know you're very familiar with them.
Well, I was fighting Reese, when the scoundrel pulled a dirty trick and swept me off my feet. This wouldn't have been a problem, but he decided to play dirty and destroyed my precious medallion! This was the key to my magical powers, Character. Without it, I could not wield any magic at all. You can imagine my horror!
I assume you can see now why I'd be so willing to help you, given that you toppled Reese.
  • Paints a clearer picture, that's for sure. So, Powers Division...? (A)
Yes! We've been looking for a candidate to lead a group of Powers Division. Normally, we allow the Powers Division to do whatever they want, but Praetor White wants to show Emperor Cole the true, united might of the Powers Division. Who better to do that than you?
I'm sure you'll be familiar with your team. They are Riptide, Zane, Aria, Stern, and Warrant. All of them are eager to be working with you. When you're ready, come speak to me and we can begin our - ah - your operations here in Imperial City.
  • I'm ready to go now.
  • Alright.
  • I don't have time for stories. Let's get to the issue of the Powers Division.

Greeting

Let's make some news, Character. We're destined for greatness.

Too Busy

You've gotten the attention of far too many people, Character. Finish up what you're working on, then come speak with me.

Too Low Level

None

No More Missions

I'm unsure what we have to discuss.

Souvenir

Transmuter's Autograph

Transmuter gave you a picture of himself, Emperor Cole, and Praetor White. It has his signature at the very bottom, telling you to, 'never forget the best days of your life'. It reminds you of an experience you call...

Letting Go

It began with a mysterious man who was murdering members of the Powers Division. After his latest kill, he swore that you would be next on his list. You formed your own team of Powers Division to go after the man. Transmuter helped by looking for possible leads on the man's identity. You first went to a Destroyer rampage in an office to see if the murderer was there. You found the remains of a member of Powers Division, but that was all.

Transmuter helped set up your next lead; it was possible that the killer was a woman named Marisa Delany from the Syndicate. You set up a trap for the Syndicate and took down Marisa Delany, only to discover that she, too, was not the killer you were looking for.

Transmuter, understanding the frustration of chasing leads, set up three possible places to look. You went into the tunnels to track down a woman named Ricochet. Halfway through, you received a distress call from Warrant, requesting your help as soon as possible. Warrant and the others were ambushed by Reese and were in dire straits.

In the end, you took Reese down, proving that his time in power was over. But did you choose to bring in Ricochet to increase your own fame within Praetoria, or did you sacrifice the chance at further glory in order to save your teammates within the Powers Division?
