Lord Recluse

 Lord Recluse is the most powerful supervillain of the City of Heroes and City of Villains game series, excluding the godlike monster Hamidon. Completely devoted to villainy, his main goal is to take over Paragon City and defeat his archenemy, Statesman. He also holds dreams of turning the entire world into a dystopia of crime and violence with himself as the supreme ruler of a villain empire.

Lord Recluse is also an Incarnate, drinking from the Well Of The Furies alongside Statesman he became empowered with the dark energies of Tartarus while Statesman was gifted the power of Zeus - this only serves to make the two even more bitter enemies.

Position of Power
Lord Recluse is the leader of Arachnos, a large team of supervillains, and has tons of minions at his disposal including many supervillains he has helped free from prison. He organizes and commands his troops for many attacks against Paragon City and is the ruler of the Rogue Isles - a collection of islands known for their corruption and large number of supervillains.

Lord Recluse is served by several prominent henchmen, known as archvillains in the games - the most powerful of which are Black Scorpion, Sirocco, Captain Mako and Ghost Widow and they work as the high command of the Rogue Isles.
