Information
Omega Team Survivor
Glacia and her twin sister Infernia spent years battling each other before the Rikti attacked. United for the first time, they fought side-by-side and together volunteered to join the Omega team. Like all members of the Omega team, their fate had been a mystery until they were rescued by Lady Grey and a team of super-powered individuals. Glacia is now back in the field, providing support for Back Alley Brawler and the Freedom Phalanx.
Initial Contact
Character, I'm Glacia. I know you, and now you know me, if you didn't already. Let's cut to the chase. Back Alley Brawler asked me to help him track down Statesman and Darrin Wade.
He wants me to stay here in Paragon and provide support, while the two of you look for Wade's lair in the Isles. Now, I disagree with Brawler's idea that I'm not ready for field work, but this isn't the time to argue when Wade is on the loose.
If you're ready, I'll give you the rundown on the situation. Hopefully at the end of all this, we'll have Wade in the Zig and Statesman back where he belongs.
This arc contains elite bosses, which may be difficult to defeat by yourself.

Broadcast of Statesman's Death
News stations all over the world were broadcasting the news of Statesman's death the night after it happened. The Freedom Phalanx wanted to keep it a secret, but it seems someone leaked the information to the press. One of the gloomier newscasts called Statesman's death...
The Fate of All Men
The news reports that the man behind Statesman's death was Darrin Wade. They do not go into the details about how he died, never mentioning that you and Back Alley Brawler travelled to the Isles to look for Darrin Wade's lair. Nobody knows Wade's true plan, that Statesman was just a stepping stone towards his goal to summon and become Rularuu. None of them know that Darrin Wade now has the power of Statesman; such a thought might instill too much fear into the populace of Paragon, even though Statesman was not the spotlight hero that he used to be.
You may always remember that moment when you stood over Statesman's body. His face was smiling. It almost looked like he was simply playing dead, if not for his lifeless eyes staring past you. It seems that Statesman welcomed his death; perhaps he finally grasped the rest he was looking for after fighting crime for several decades.
You saw one newscast which had Glacia as a guest star. The reporter asked Glacia what the world was going to do now without a hero as powerful as Statesman to protect us from villains like Wade and Recluse. Glacia slammed her fist into the table and told the reporter that the world still has heroes, such as yourself, who will stand up against people like Darrin Wade. Statesman may be dead, but it is not the end of the world. It is a new beginning for the people to see that there are hundreds of heroes who can stand and protect them from the evils of the world.

Dialogue
During the Save captured psychics mission, Glacia will say just a few things, unlike her (perhaps) long-winded sister:
Omega Team
Glacia and her twin sister Infernia spent years battling each other before the Rikti attacked. United for the first time, they fought side-by-side and volunteered for the Omega Team together. Like all members of the Omega team, their fate had been a mystery until now. Now they've returned to Earth, and they have some important news to tell.
On November 27, 2009, the Omega team time capsule was opened. Inside, among other artifacts, was the goodbye letter from Glacia:
- I never liked my sister. That isn't a secret; we pretty much hated each other even before we went down our respective paths of magic. So when I say that hell would have to freeze over for us to put our differences aside, you will understand how grave a threat the Rikti are. Or, hopefully, were.
- I can only assume that if this letter is being read that we were successful. So maybe the Rikti are a memory now; I can only hope. Looking from this vantage point, on the precipice of history, I don't really regret the feuding between my sister and me. It made us strong, and it made the message of us coming together against a common foe strong as well.
- If this is all that remains of me after tomorrow, then I can live with that. I really can. If Infernia and I can come together as family, then anyone can and that is a comforting thought in these desperate times.

Frostwork Target: +Max Health, +Resistance (Toxic)

Heat Loss Ranged (Foe Area of Effect), Foe: -Resistance, -Endurance, Slow; Team +Endurance, +Recovery
Heat Loss drains the heat from your enemies and transfers that energy to your allies in the form of endurance. All foes near the selected target may experience a heat loss, which will drain their endurance, slow them, and reduce their damage resistance. Each enemy target that is successfully drained of heat will expel that energy to all your nearby allies, granting them endurance and a boost to their endurance recovery. Some endurance and recovery will also be transferred directly to you and any allies near you.
