Better known to the public as the supervillain Abductor, Dr. Forsberg is a mind controller and a mad scientist obsessed with finding a way to trigger superpowers. Her dream is to give superpowers to everyone and uplift humanity to a transhuman state. Although no closer to that goal than she was when she was arrested, her enthusiasm has not diminished. | Better known to the public as the supervillain Abductor, Dr. Forsberg is a mind controller and a mad scientist obsessed with finding a way to trigger superpowers.

Thanks to her brilliant mind and the decades of research she has been allowed to do in Rikers, under close supervision, she is one of the leading experts in the field of superpowers. The Protectors often consult her. But despite her helpfulness and the fact that she has been a model prisoner, Dr. Forsberg might be the most dangerous supervillain in rikers. If there is one thing that has given the Old Guard nightmares, it has been the possibility of the Abductor escaping. | Thanks to her brilliant mind and the decades of research she has been allowed to do in Rikers, under close supervision, she is one of the leading experts in the field of superpowers.

− | + | Back when she was still Police Captain Angelo, she was the first ranking member of law enforcement to ally with The Protectors, although back then she had to do so in secret. Since then she has risen through the ranks and now commands New York’s police force. She remains a staunch ally of The Protectors. She is also honorable and ramrod straight in strictness, and has zero tolerance for needless violence or abuses of authority, whether among the police force or among The Protectors. | |

By any means necessary. Ever since the Rikers Raid, Heroslayers have worked together with The Protectors. A large number of Countersuper Marshals are their rank and file. If different decisions had been made in the past, things could have gone differently. |

A young man who looks like a wild west gunslinger - or at least the Hollywood version of one. Dressed all in black, except for decorative silver embroidery in the clothes.

A familiar figure from the past, the cyborg assassin that fought the Original Protectors has grown old. His hair is now completely grey. But he does not move like an old person. Even standing still, he looks like a coiled spring, ready for action. In a job, he likes to wear urban combat fatigues. | A familiar figure from the past, the cyborg assassin that fought the Original Protectors has grown old. His hair is now completely grey.

He has far more obvious augments than Crowley. All of his limbs seem cybernetic, and even his armor seems to be a part of him. What skin is visible, mainly from the neck up, is heavily scarred. He lacks Crowley's skill though, which is why the Protectors took him out easily. |

Many of their members are former soldiers, and the Spectra Plate the knights wear under their habits might be the best body armor in existence. And, thanks to their more progressive Grand Master Inquisitor [https://wiki.rpg.net/index.php/After_The_Storm:NonPlayerCharacters#Inquisitor] they have finally gotten up to date in other respects as well and are accepting female knights into the order. | |
