Minions of gaming sites IGN and GameHelper have take their lives in their hands recently, daring to make the perilous journey to the Rogue Isles and undertaking the even riskier task of asking questions of our mighty leader.

Fortunately for the trembling journalists, the Great One has been in a tolerant mood recently, as his plans continue to unfold according to schedule despite the efforts of the meddling Statesman. As he explained when asked by GameHelper about the mission types available to aspiring villains:

The great thing about villains is they pretty much hate equally. They hate heroes, they hate other villain groups; they can even hate their own group, with factions plotting against each other.

IGN, meanwhile, was interested in learning more about Lord Recluse’s inner circle of ‘signature villains’:

Ghost Widow, Black Scorpion, Captain Mako and Scirocco have all been tested against other rising villains and each other. They have each shown that they have what it takes to survive within Arachnos.
