On the surface, the Hellions are merely one of several violent gangs that plague Paragon City. However, it is widely believed that the Hellions are actually bottom tier minions working for the evil cult known as the Circle of Thorns.

The Hellions' bosses and lieutenants have not been identified.

 

Minions

The Hellions gang seems to consist of common street thugs wielding guns and various melee weapons. The different types of thugs have not been disclosed. Some number of Hellions have evidently become addicted to some sort of drug that causes their eyes to turn green and presumably imparts superhuman powers.

·Given the Hellions' connection to the Circle of Thorns, the Dream Doctor and Midnight Squad might also provide missions to combat this gang.

 

Tactics

·The Hellions appear to have very limited tactics, simply surrounding enemies and whacking away with whatever melee weapon they have on hand. Hellions armed with guns usually stay slightly removed from the fray and may even climb atop vehicles.

 

Combat Recommendations

·The Hellions are among the weakest enemies rookie heroes will face. Simply rush up and smack them around!

History

 

The Hellions is a gang that has only recently appeared in Paragon City, but its ranks have rapidly grown. The incredible increase in the number of active Hellions has allowed the gang to capture large swaths of territory in local gang wars. Currently, the Hellions are most active in the normally-peaceful Atlas Park, where they openly attack any civilians and heroes they encounter. Perez Park has also become a battle ground for vicious fights between the Skulls and the Hellions.

 

It is widely believed that the Hellions are secretly backed by the Circle of Thorns. It's likely that Baron Zoria and his evil cult are using the Hellions to help capture Perez Park, where the Circle performs many of its dark rituals. The Circle of Thorns may also provide the Hellions with mind and body-altering drugs to help ensure the gang's loyalty.
