Overview

Praetorians are one of the highest villain groups in CoH and can only be found during Portal missions.

Given the complex nature of this group, I have decided to try a different kind of format to explain them, according to their factions and leaders:

Factions

AntiMatter

Nuon (minion)

AntiMatter equipped his creations with the ability to generate energy and channel it into attacks. Altough they appear somewhat similar to Neuron's minions and to Clockwork of Primal Earth, they are mechanical constructs and obey only the master of radiation.

Powers

RadiationBurst Irradiate.png Irradiate Self Area of Effect, Energy, -Defense
Emits radiation in all directions damaging all nearby foes over a short duration. Like other Radiation attacks, this power can bypass some of a targets defenses. Irradiate severely reduces the targets defense.

RadiationBurst NeutrinoBlast.png Neutrino Bolt Ranged Energy, Low Damage, -Defense
A very quick, but low damage attack, Neutrino Blast can reduce the targets defense.

Power Missing.png No Melee attacks No Hand to hand
Nuons don´t have any Melee attacks at all.


Meson (lieutenant)

AntiMatter's constructs are designed to work together, but occasionally there will be a specific task that he wants accomplished. The Meson unit is almost always assigned to these duties. They carry more logical circuits and can more easily follow complex instructions.

Powers

Baryon (boss)

The Baryons are the most powerful of AntiMatter's constructs. They generate an intense ammount of radiation and must be carefully contained when fighting in areas with civilian presence.

AntiMatter (archvillain)

Trapped within his powered armor, AntiMatter used to be Tyrant's primary scientific consultant. He and Neuron were once the best of friends and created the Clockwork of Praetorian Earth together. Of late his teories have been more and more radical, causing Tyrant to lean on Neuron for research and analysis. Unbeknownst to anyone, AntiMatter has cracked the Portal tech. He is waiting to reveal his breakthrough in order to garner favor from Tyrant and his true love, Dominatrix.

Powers

Infernal

Demon (minion)

These vicious creatures serve Infernal only because he forces them to. By subverting their will throughthe use of ancient mystic rituals he creates permanent servants. If his control begins to wane over a particular demon, he performs another ceremony and binds it permanently into his weapons or armor to increase their strength.

Neuron

Electrode (minion)

The basic model of minion designed by Neuron was originally blueprinted to be a laboratory assistant. It is excellent at following simple commands and would have been well suited for tasks a scientist did not have the time or muscle for. Neuron quicly realized that the metallic minions could be used as attack drones and adapted his plan on the fly.

Neuron (archvillain)

Neuron is the creation of his own twisted scientific experiment. He gave himself complete control over his body's nervous system.

Shadowhunter (archvillain)

Infused with the fury of the Wild Hunt, Shadowhunter roams with his Pack, cutting down everything in his path. He loathes humanity for the most part and his alliance with Tyrant is an uneasy one at best.

If Tyrant ever begins to strip the land for resources, things will quickly unravel.
