Oh wait. This is issue 20. So she's probably a new NPC they made up when they didn't have to.

Or is that a question I really do not want to have answered??

Why give us an option to play Loyalists to Cole and then do this?
Seriously, devs, just shut down City of Villains if you're going to continue ******** on villains. Let us actually play villains, or remove the ******* option.

Well, the Praetorian paths all end up with players going against Tyrant for various reasons - either for personal gain, or because they found out he was a monster, or because they always knew he was a monster, or because they like blowing stuff up and Tyrant's cramping their style.|

The closest a loyalist gets to siding with Tyrant is the Power path suggesting it's a possibility if it suits your personal agenda on primal Earth - the responsibility path ends with an argument with Tyrant over free will, and then the player tells him to get lost.
By level 20 in GR, there is no "I will serve you until death, my Lord" option.

And although the new zone in I21 will be co-op, it's quite possible it'll have Cimerora-style contatcs for the naughty and nice types to do their own thing, with maybe a co-op TF, plus the zone event, where both sides can get together.

Ghoul-summoning chick in the Sutter TF, unless she showed up in one of the Praetorian arcs and then got PLd along with Riptide.
Exorcist: Who are you, and if you're so badass why did I get away with robbing your club blind?
Jenni Adair and Keith Nance: Who are you and why should I listen to you?
Dean McArthur and Leonard: Same, only double 'cause it's villains.
Roy Cooling: See Jenni and Keith.
Apex: What about your appearances in the comic suggests you'd join Vanguard and get promoted to the rank of task force giver outer?
Tin Mage at least makes some sense, and Morty and Vincent Ross are at least tied in to existing groups with known rogue elements.

| Additionally we will introduce content that is not directly Incarnate-related; we will wrap up some old plotlines and expand on others. In the next Issue (21), we will be featuring an entire new zone with lots of things to do, both solo and in a group. We aren't abandoning the independent spirit many of our players have. The zone will not only have new story arcs and contacts, but a very unique zone event that significantly links it to the greater storyline of the world. |

I want them to use existing NPCs rather than make up new ones because the existing NPCs, well, exist, and many of them have no background or characterization to speak of. Some of them have been given some in the tip missions, and that's great. There are plenty left.

Crimson is the Nick Fury of CoH. All the other super sekrit agent types can get in line to bow before his badassitude. Except for Indigo, who is his sidekick, and Viridian, who is the anti-Crimson.
As to why villains can beat him up in the RSF, the Longbow uniform automatically bestows a badassitude debuff on anyone who wears it. Because Longbow are dorks.

You know what would be seriously cool, even if they're not going to do it? If during Praetorian zone invasion events, Loyalist player characters could fight for the other side.
In the video-call to Tyrant, I could imagine Neuron bouncing around in the background mouthing "owned" at him and making the "loser" gesture
Hey D-R, Posi ain't going to stick around. He is all ready lying/hiding 'another' woman from the pasty.
I am taking my sig to MWO and MWT. Let them wonder what it means.
