The Hierophant
 |
A fanatic determined to reshape the world… The Hierophant!
A Power Level 16 Rogue¸ The Hierophant is an emissary from a mysterious force dedicated to transforming the universe. The Hierophant is an iconic character in the Beacon City universe¸ but can be dropped into any campaign with very little alteration.
The Hierophant's file is designated "Black" to reflect his strange¸ occult origins. Once upon a time¸ he was a mortal man who lost his way and searched for answers to the deepest questions. Now he believes he knows the truth¸ and seeks to spread the word of Ex Machina wherever he goes. Whether he is mad¸ or truly empowered by some supernatural entity has yet to be determined¸ but there is no mistaking his power. Included in his writeup is his mechanical minion¸ Cog¸ a steam-powered menace in its own right. A truly potent presence¸ The Hierophant has already left his mark upon Beacon City. It's up to your heroes to keep him from transforming the rest of the world into a reflection of his uncompromising vision!
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!
