The Conductor
 |
A villain in search of his equal... The Conductor!
A Power Level 12 Rogue¸ The Conductor is a villainous mastermind who is actively searching for a hero who can rival his genius. No ordinary superhero will do¸ so he will first test the mettle of his chosen arch-foes by sending his PL 10 lieutenant Overclock. The Conductor's super-charged battlesuit backs his considerable brains up with a pretty brawny set of combat abilities¸ and Overclock has the speed to keep up with most "average" heroes by himself. The Conductor and Overclock add more depth to the Beacon City universe¸ but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
The Conductor and Overclock are both designated "Blue" for their technological origins. Unlike many villains¸ The Conductor is a very proactive villain who is actively searching to make a hero his foe. His brains and his ego demand he seek out the bravest¸ noblest¸ and most intelligent foes to test himself against. His love of technology also makes him a great foe for tech-themed heroes of any stripe. Overclock serves as an early indication of The Conductor's interest in the heroes¸ as well as an indication of the kind of person their mysterious foe is. Both characters are class acts¸ villains who hail from an era when superheroes were measured by their Rogues Galleries.
Welcome to Rogues¸ Rivals & Renegades. Each entry in the series is designed as a villain¸ a potential ally with complications¸ or an outsider who might help the PCs one day and be at odds with them another. Each character has the potential to become a mainstay of your campaign!
Rogues¸ Rivals & Renegades are presented as files from a meta-human monitoring agency called METAs¸ with a loose frame story connecting them to Vigilance Press's own Beacon City setting. They are designed to drop into any setting with minimal effort¸ however¸ and the METAs commentary is written to give you a better picture of each character's personality and threat level. Each issue gives you a background for the character¸ commentary from METAs files¸ a standee to print and play with¸ and Hero Lab files for key characters!
