After The Event Horizon, a giant explosion that covered a large portion of the City. Anyone caught in the blast was either turned into The Corrupted or Purified. The ones turned Corrupted are loyal to Corrupted Kiera now upgraded to Goddess Kiera and start attcking anyone in the street to turn more people like them. Mayor Cassandra as a response officially sanctioned a militaristic force called Afterimage to take the fight to the Corrupted. Seeing this as an opportunity to expand her territory and take over parts of The City occupied by other factions, The Taskmaster gets to work. She starts by targeting goverment officials as in her eyes are the easiest to take down. This has gotten the attention of Afterimage, taking their focus from the Corrupted threat and stretching their forces even more.
