Editing NECESSARY EVIL in Freedom City SPOILER PAGE (section)

===The Maestro=== 

Believing that only in a return to the arts, can mankind regain the nobility of lost days, Basil Fatherton creates music to inspire the bold, and bring low the savage beast. 

He attempts to preserve all forms of artistic expression, and even considers spray-painted graffiti tags in the burned-out shell of a building to be a sign of hope for mankind’s future, an expression of art and of defiance in the face of the urban squalor, callous destruction and tyrannical rules imposed by the Syndicate. 

But his true love is music, and he is constantly setting up ‘Radio Freedom’ substations around the city, until the Syndicate or the so-called Police working for them can home in on them and shut them down. He’s gotten quite skilled at bouncing signals, and making them hard to find, so that even Daedalus now finds it more trouble than it’s worth to try and keep up, and has taken to jamming every frequency not already in use with white noise, and then sending out Johnny Speed to 'search every signal-source' until they find the transmitter, a task which Johnny relishes, since he and the Maestro have tangled multiple times (Johnny trashed several museums, in a playful mood, defacing thousands of priceless artworks in mere moments, and the Maestro has taken a special interest in producing songs that portray him as a bitterly unhappy, and somewhat pitiable, young man full of impotent anger at the world, which, predictably, fills Johnny with anger...). 

While Dr. Simian is undoubtedly the ‘brain’ of the operations, most would agree that the Maestro is it’s soul, and as Medea has pointed out, it’s the Maestro that reminds them to stop and remember what they are fighting *for,* the very soul of what it means to be human, not just mindless opposition of the tyrants of the Syndicate.
