Perhaps? All signs so far are pointing to this elusive Emil Christie guy who apparently repaired the whole district all by himself, but who knows what he actually is. Could be a Crey agent, a Nemesis automaton or even a Malta officer for all we know.

Emil isn't elusive. He is the current mayor(?) of Paragon City.

No, all I can find about him on the wiki is he's the head of a tech company called Christie Consolidated, with a suspicious lot of money and influence to make Kallisti Wharf into his personal playground.

I think Mayor Morales is the current mayor.   (How long is a term?  It's been years!)

Emil ....  Marcone

Then he may have been the previous mayor. He has notes of being re-elected and the only elections I can find about him are mayoral.

I haven't cleared the khalisti arcs yet so cant make significant assessments yet, but i will say that this and some of the history plaques are very jarring compared to the rest of the homecoming writing iv experienced. While CoH has always had its stinkers, I think overall the standard of writing the retail team did was at worst serviceable, and while id say a lot of homecoming's writing is better than that and rivals some of the better retail stories, some of it has been a disappointment like this.

What bugs me is these disappointments seem to focus around contentious political topics and that frustrates me more, as such topics I feel call for a more deft hand, as misfires hit harder.

My issue with Major Benjamin's writing is that while it's perfectly believable that a real-life bigot would out themselves as an idiot while thinking they're making a great point, fiction should strive to be a little more realistic than that.
