[edit] Rumors

A military leader looking to build a new army? A traveling noble with aspirations greater than his original homeland could provide? A mutant cultist with doomsday plans? A reclusive advocate of the forces of anarchy? There are many rumors and few confirmed facts in regards to the life of the man now known as Agonus before his arrival in the Rogue Isles. The reasons why he has gone to the lengths he has to hide his true identity are also not publicly known.

[edit] The Rogue Isles

Intrigued by the word spread of Lord Recluse and Arachnos, Agonus was drawn to the Rogue Isles. Upon his arrival in the Isles, however, he was extremely dismayed at what he found. Numerous groups were working under Arachnos, both obviously and secretively, in an attempt to gain power. These various factions; crime families, occultists, numerous street gangs and fascist military organizations, among a multitude of others, were all striving for essentially the same goals, but the constant strife amongst them prevented any of the groups from reaching their true potential. In addition to the warring between the factions, the so-called heroes from Paragon City would interfere with anyone from the Rogue Isles who managed rise above the internal rivalries to focus on greater goals.

Agonus began building a private meditation chamber using power amplification technology obtained from several different groups. The chamber would allow Agonus to monitor open areas of the Rogue Isles from the safety of the psychic plane. While he could not immediately act on what he observed, Agonus used the information he gathered, and continues to gather, to find like-minded individuals who can aide him in his vision for the Isles.

[edit] The Formation of the Society

After gathering sufficient information, Agonus set about the first step in his plan, the formation of a supreme Society that would take advantage of the chaos in the Rogue Isles. While Agonus was fully aware that many organizations already firmly established in the Isles were well beyond his immediate reach, the multitude of lesser groups were prime targets for annihilation or assimilation by the Society.

The heroes of Paragon would prove to be a similar problem. Many of the misguided fools were far too powerful for the Society to immediately deal with, but Agonus remains content to gather his forces and strike when the opportunity presents itself. It would take time, but when the dust was settled, no one would be able to stop the Supreme Society.

[edit] Allies

The Supreme Society- A group of like-minded individuals Agonus has gathered who share in his ultimate vision for the Rogue Isles.

Rogue Isles by Night- An alliance has been formed between the Society and the secretive business organization. Society Agents have also been granted entrance to the Savoy as part of the arrangement.

Jesters of Chaos- A cult with otherworldly loyalties, Agonus feels the raw potential of the Jesters can be harnessed for greater goals.

Black Tie- Agonus recently met with the leadership of the collective group to initiate a coalition of sorts between the Black Tie and the Society.

[edit] Direct Enemies

Joint Task Force Hero- Prior to the formation of the Society, Agonus usurped control of a secret Syndicate lead by the villain now known as Ahreman the Red. This was primarily done to acquire the services of the three main agents of the Syndicate, Ahreman, the nobleman Count Logan vonDrake and the young technology savant Eiko-chan. Agonus was aware of the main enemy of the Syndicate, a militaristic group known as Joint Task Force Hero, and welcomed the chance for his own Supreme Society to make an example of the heroes. After a number of heated encounters, the JTFH ended up in a state of disarray, and have been unable to challenge the Society since.

Gemuse Force- Another rivalry carried over from the now defunct Syndicate, to Agonus's surprise, the Gemuse Force have followed Ahreman the Red to the Society. A group of former reality TV stars lead by Strawberry Trooper, the Gemuse Force confronted Red (while insisting he had to maintain his previous name of Nemesis Red due to marketing) and his new Society allies in the Pocket D nightclub, though the encounter itself was far from overtly hostile.

Wary of dealing with the young heroes through brute force, Agonus brought in the services of Jade Costa, (mafia heiress Lazuli Fade acting under a false name, which Agonus is aware of but has chosen to remain silent on). Costa has been tasked to use a more business oriented approach against the media friendly Gemuse, the results of which are not public knowledge at this point.

Captain Vendetta- While no physical battles have been fought between the Society and the heroic Vendetta's Vigilantes, there is a clear animosity between the two groups. It is only a matter of time before tensions reach a boiling point.

The Global Guard- Gathered by the alien hero Star Scion, the newly formed Guard have openly challenged the Society. Though the heroes were defeated in the first battle, Agonus is certain he has not seen the last of them.

[edit] Powers

Agonus is mutant with high telepathic potential and a limited telekinetic ability. He is capable of manipulating the minds and emotions of his enemies in a variety of ways, among them; inducing unconsciousness, confusion, fear, and paralysis. Agonus has so far only exhibited brute force telekinetic feats, such as creating forcefields, hurling his opponents short distances or using his power on himself for flight.

[edit] Trivia

((-UPDATED- Agonus is my umpteenth attempt at an energy manipulator character, like Magneto, Green Lantern, etc. It's one of the two basic templates I've tried in the game since I started playing. The other one template is a "flying brick" which I was able to pull off pretty well with Ahreman the Red. Why have I been try for the two templates? Most of the characters I like fit in one or the other, pretty much. In hindsight, a Mind/Psi Dominator doesn't level anywhere near as fast as a SS/WP brute, so he's kind of stalled out a bit, hence the MM version. Patrol XP, in theory, will help me get the Dom version leveled. ^_^

-UPDATED- The first inspiration for the character came from DC's Supernova back in 52 and his full body costume, after it hit me that I didn't have any characters here with full costumes. Tucked that idea away until I saw the mask for the modern version of Marvel's the Blue Marvel. The initial idea for Agonus and his militaristic costume was a cross between Destro and Magneto. Agonus's hooded/caped/armored look is a homage to Dr. Doom.)
