What is your villainous /heroic motivation?[edit]
There was a time when Mahler's motivation was a simple one: to escape this world of filthy, grasping humans and return to his own, where apes reigned supreme and humans were confined to zoos and medical testing centers. That changed dramatically when he was nearly killed by human heroes and forced to reconstruct over 80% of his own body. It changed again when he emerged triumphant, only to find that his vengeance had been stolen from him. In the short term, his new goals involve wreaking terrible, bloody revenge on whatever foes are unfortunate enough to first present themselves. In the long term? That remains to be seen.
Character Flags[edit]
Master plans. Technology-heavy minions, devices and strongholds. These things are Mahler's bread and butter, and any plan he concocts will necessarily incorporate a lot of them.
Your greatest defeat[edit]
Twelve years ago, the mayors of four coastal cities all received the same message: They were each to wire $100 million to the same Swiss bank account within 72 hours, or their seaside metropoli would be devastated by a tsunami the likes of which had never before been seen. A band of Freedom City's finest, led by the Bowman, sprang into action, traced the message to the nefarious Silverback, and quickly tracked the perfidious primate to an enormous hovercraft located 100 miles offshore, just above a long-forgotten undersea volcano in which the ape had rigged enough nuclear explosive to trigger a massive eruption. A fierce battle ensued and the hovercraft was sent careening into the mouth of the volcano, where the subsequent explosion buried it under tons of rock ... not to mention nearly a qusrter-mile of water. The heroes left, believing themselves to be victorious, unaware that the ape still lived, and would return...
