City of Villains News - Patron Power Q&A: Scirocco
Posted by Dana Massey on Apr 27, 2006 | 4 comments in our forums
In Q&A three of five, we look at what the followers of Scirocco can expect in Issue Seven. Scirocco joins Ghost Widow, Captain Mako and Black Scorpion to provide his villains with a host of unique powers. Lead Designer Matt Miller answers our questions.
;) MMORPG.com: What is Scirocco’s back story? How did he come to be in service of Arachnos?
Matt Miller: Imad Malak was traveling in the deep desert near the Baka Valley deep in the Middle East, fleeing mercenary death squads when he discovered an ancient tomb and stumbled inside. The tomb was that of a long-dead desert hero, and within Malak found the hero's scimitar, an ancient weapon that granted the wielder incredible powers. Malak took the sword and donned the mantle of Scirocco, the Desert Wind. He intended to use the power to free his people, but unfortunately, in taking the items he fell under a curse. Everything he did was now tainted, and only brought greater evil to the world. Once a hero of the people, he became a dark stain on their proud heritage, and was cast out. Scirocco continued fighting, earning a grim reputation both for his phenomenal powers, and for retaining some vestige of Imad's old principles. He soon came to the attention of Arachnos, and accepted the invitation to join Lord Recluse's inner circle. |
