It would seem pretoria Hami had a thrist for world domination. It had to be dealt with.

Definitely not if we go by their ingame avatars. The Tyrant AV we fight in Maria's arc is significantly weaker than the Statesman we fight in Mender Silos SF (or the PI Mayhem)

it is pretty good, i like how it sets up ambiguity in the character, you can see the road to hell being paved with good intentions.

Hold up. Isn't he an Incarnate?
I was very impressed with this bio; nicely villainous while still having lots of admirable characteristics. I particularly like the way the emphasis is on the fantastic aspects of the setting (Cole himself, the DE, Praetorian Clockwork, etc.) rather than the ones derived from reality; it looks like he's much more nuanced and fantastical than that, two things that are pretty difficult to achieve in combination.
Also, the prominent role given to MacArthur reminds me, we need corncob pipes as costume pieces. (Yes, I've requested it in the costume request thread. 
)

well, in the "origin of power" storyline, it suggests that incarnates are an origin. origins really arent used for much here, but yeah, its on the tablet.

Incarnates get their power from the Well of the Kindly Ones, which is a magical artifact and power source, so how is that a contradiction?|

Part of the bio near the end seemed to imply that part of what people know may be false and that he's not as good as he's made out to be. Plus, it seems like he plans to go as far as to invade our dimension which isn't an admirable quality.|

As far as strength comparisons, I think the biggest "weakness" with Statesman is that his no killing stance makes him hold back by default, essentially the Superman problem. If States singlehandedly knocked down the RWZ mothership, then he's plenty strong in his own right.
SQUEEEEEEEEE!
Oh can hardly wait for GR!!!!!!!!!!

That is indeed both a weakness and a strength though isnt it in regard to states.
To me, Tyrants empire reminds me a lot of manticore and his struggles with which side of the law hes on. No matter what his agenda is now though, think we can all agree that originally, Tyrant was indeed one of the good guys saving the world. However where he was hidden too after the area got nuked remains to be seen.
Seems that his attidude to combat changed drastically after that incident . . . . . .

Edit: Okay, he's shot States before. But he didn't do it because he was evil.

I think the purpose of Coles Bio is to spark the kind of back and forth that you and I are about to start. Is it tyranny to expect absolute loyalty for absolute prosperity?
