I'd like to see the Order of the Crimson Lotus brought in as an NPC group. To the best of my knowledge the only place they are mentioned is in Infernal's backstory. This would be the perfect group to build around the new Demon Summoning powerset. Looking at Infernal's Paragon Wiki entry they've already got a ready made AV:


Quote:
A master of demon binding and summoning from another dimension, Infernal's boundless willpower allows him to control the many fiends he has forced into his service. As a member of the Vindicators, he often assists Numina of the Freedom Phalanx.

K'Varr D'Shall was the most skilled demon binder in the Order of the Crimson Lotus on an alternate Earth. His order bound demons into their weapons and armor, in order to keep Infernal Earth from being overrun by them. They were maintaining and uneasy peace until K'Varr's best friend T'Keron grew jealous of his comrade's power and skill. T'Keron attempted to bind Valmaz, Lord of Demons, but lost control of the ceremony. K'Varr arrived to help his friend, but it was too late. K'Varr, T'Keron, and Valmaz were all drawn through a dimensional rip caused by the binding ceremony onto Primal Earth, our Earth. T'Keron and the Demon Lord were bound together by the potent mystic forces.

The ways of our world are strange to K'Varr but Numina is assisting him in becoming acclimated and beginning his search for the unholy fusion of T'Keron and Valmaz.
For a storyline hook you could have Valmez firmly in control of the T'Keron/Valmez union but they can appear to look like T'Keron. The fusion returns to Infernal Earth and convinces the Order of the Crimson Lotus that Infernal was the one that fused with Valmez and has taken over and tainted Primal Earth. In order to fight Infernal's "demon controlled" allies on Primal Earth T'Keron/Valmez teaches the Order new spells to bind more powerful demons to their weapons and armor. In reality the new spells allow the demons to take over and control the binders. With a corrupted, demon possesed Order at his back T'Keron/Valmez conquers Infernal Earth and then sets his sights on Primal Earth. Or better yet the Shadow Shard, if the CoT can bind Faathim then I'm betting the Order could bind aspects of Rularuu as well.


It is better to ask forgiveness than permission.

Doesn't he have cancer?

Actually, I wanna see these guys.
Decimator, Destroyer, and Destructor appear in the "Bonefire" arc, along with one of their Skull counterparts, Marrowsnap. All three Hellion leaders are just named Damned bosses, and Marrowsnap is a Bone Daddy. To my knowledge, Marrowsnap's brother, Marrow Drinker, doesn't appear anywhere, though he might show up in Bonefire if you do it with a large enough team.

Tempter, however, doesn't appear anywhere.

I'd also add Hero Corps.

It's strongly hinted in the history plaques that there is some goings-on between Hero Corps and Crey, but that whole story is left dangling. I'd like to see it fleshed out a little bit more.

I'll second Spanky Rabinowitz, Sebastian Frost, and Tub Ci.

I know about Marrowsnap, but where do the three Hellions appear? They're not mentioned in the Paragon Wiki summary of the arc.

Er, the countess wouldn't be happy with that. It's strongly implied that she poisoned him so she could take over his company.

EDIT: They could always get around the problems of missions against him having to be in a PvP zone by making a few outdoor instance maps of Warburg, and have us access them from some other place.
Like the mission in the LRSF with Malta.
