Arachnos is a huge group that has tons of presence in the Isles. Being a member of Arachnos grants one tons of power among the populace, even if you're just a grunt. It's no question why someone from a small time gang like Hellions or Trolls would want to upgrade and be a member of Arachnos if given the chance. Of course, the Patrons are only using these people for their own amusement.
It has no relevance to lore. It's a game contrivance, just like Merit Vendors.

We will honor the past, and fight to the last, it will be a good way to die...

Dr Brainstorm was also responsible for Invention Origin enhancements too. In fact, his invention, the Hypothetical Framework (the blue cube thing) was leased to and built by Crey Technologies! |

I wonder who was responsible for Enhancement Diversification in-game?

There is no possible way to explain the Crucible that doesn't start with, "We ran out of time so here's what the intern did."
"Mastermind Pets operate...differently, and aren't as easily fixed. Especially the Bruiser. I want to take him out behind the woodshed and pull an "old yeller" on him at times." - Castle

Uh...yeah. The intern did it.
There are no words for what this community, and the friends I have made here mean to me. Please know that I care for all of you, yes, even you. If you Twitter, I'm MrThan.

Thank you everyone at Paragon and on Virtue. When the lights go out in November, you'll find me on Razor Bunny.

So The Crucible is full of various villains lining up to (apparently) join Arachnos. Is that what they're doing, and if so, why? Are those villain groups just giving up and looking to join the dominant power in the Isles?
