Alexander peered through his binoculars, perched high atop a skyscraper overlooking Caelora.
Flying cars buzzed by, searchlights sweeping the city below as the manhunt for Erik intensified.
But Alexander just grinned, enjoying the view as the clueless authorities scoured the streets.
Little did they know the man they sought had already changed his face, blending seamlessly into the crowds.
And Erik wasn't alone - he had an army of clones ready to aid him, 31 brothers scattered throughout the city in various disguises.
Though Alexander could not see them from his vantage point atop the skyscraper, he knew they were around, searching for the Blackguards.
They were Erik's eyes and ears, scattered throughout the streets.
As a flying patrol car passed disturbingly close, Alexander ducked down, pressing himself flat against the room's wall.
