You guys know Arkham, right? He is the mastermind behind almost everything in the third installment of the original franchise. I gotta say, he is one of the better villains in the whole franchise (not counting Vergil) and it is very amazing how him, a human, managed to overpower two very powerful cambions. Jester, his alter-ego, is to this day still very fresh in our minds for his funny behavior that resembled a lot The Joker, from the DC Universe.
Anyway..
..so, if NT is to revive Arkham or an Arkham-ish character in the upcoming DmC, how would you like him to be presented?
Here, let me share my ideas.
-Spotter Arkham: You guys are familiar with spotters, right? They're humans brainwashed by demons (it is implied that only Lilith can brainwash them, but we'll assume that higher-ranked demons can too)that were constantly on the look for Dante in DmC. Let's assume that Arkham was one of them, and after Mundus' reign was over, he was freed from control and gained his own will. However, the brainwash greatly affected him therefore leading to him developing split personalities; Arkham and Jester. Also, because of being under control by demons too much, he has missed a lot from his life, so he blames Dante for everything that's happened to him and begins to pursue him continuously, as opposed to the DMC3 one, which only wanted the power of Sparda.
-Medium Arkham: A medium, just like Kat, this Arkham is almost very similar to the DMC3 one. Even after Limbo and the real world are fused into one, he still manages to travel himself to various hellish fragments of it, like the one Vergil transported himself into in Vergil's Downfall. He must play a key role in freeing Vergil from it, but that's about it; no background plan to conquer the world, no gaining power. He just has a sick and twisted passion about demons, nephilims and all those mythological creatures. Also, this Arkham wouldn't have an alter-ego.
-Government Arkham: You remember how I said in The Final Offer's "Dante's to do list" that Dante must join forces with the Government to locate and destroy the remainder of demons? What if Arkham was some sort of an army Lieutenant or a corrupted Government functionary who wants to obtain all of the power to himself? Right in the beginning, it is implied that Mundus doesn't only use his demon powers to control humanity, but also blackmails The President itself, displaying how powerful he is. He must have bribed a lot of g-men to approve of his dirty work, Arkham being one of them. After Mundus dies, he decides to take advantage of the situation and see if he can maintain control of the world just like he did.
Those are my ideas so far. What about yours?
