Praetorian Infernal

All of the Praetorians are either killed off during an Incarnate Trial or Task Force... all except for Infernal. He doesn't appear in the up-and-coming Magisterium Trial so maybe he'll join us OR... be killed off in a mission?

Or maybe...

...

It's an Infernal Plot.

There's speculation that Praetorian Infernal is being retconned out of existence, as he's an entity from another dimension, not Praetoria.

We've been saving Paragon City for eight and a half years. It's time to do it one more time.

An absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.

If they are retconning him out, I fully support it. PraetFernal just made things a complicated mess that didn't get helped by the shoddy writing back then, or the 'alt-dimension of an alt-dimension' stuff we then run into. Not to mention the previous Goatee-verse of Praetoria.

Leave him out, I say.

There's really no reason that there can't be a Praetorian Infernal (the branching point is Infernal's destination from his home dimension -- after he left, you now have two versions of his home dimension; one where he went Primal, one where he went Praetorian), but I wouldn't cry too hard if he got retconned out, especially since the Praetorian storyline is pretty much getting tied up soon anyway. If they can find a way to work him in to where the storyline is going, great (ally of the Battalion? hmm???), but if I were the devs I wouldn't bend over backwards to do it.

Well, it's hard to retcon a character out of existence when you can still pummel him over and over again in basic mission content. I'd say he's probably an opportunist that deserted when he saw things in Praetoria were going south.

I thought it would have made sense that Praetorian Infernal was our Infernal's former best friend.

There's still more to come in Praetoria: Hamidon; the power vacuum; a lot of souls left uneaten and unused now that Diabolique and Cole (the avatar of Tartarus) are now gone; Praetorian furies and the X of Vengeance (there are 'Angels of Vengeance' seen in Night Ward). I can think of several ways a Praetorian Infernal can get involved as well as a whole host of Primal-Signature-NPCs' Praetorian counterparts.

I hope he'll show up soon. I really don't to have to stoop to doing Maria Jenkin's arc to get Multidimensional on my Brute.

I think Praetorian Infernal is really Tyler Durden.
