Picked Arrow back up and started running through those early episodes again. Mark Scheffer stood out right away, so I figured he was worth a proper write-up for the table.

AMANDA WALLER
Mockingbird, Director of A.R.G.U.S.
The Mirakuru serum is not a power, not in the traditional sense. It is an infection, a curse, and a miracle all in one vial. Created in the shadows of World War II as a super-soldier experiment, Mirakuru didn’t fade into history like it was supposed to. It survived, whispered about in secret labs and forgotten bunkers, waiting for someone desperate enough to use it.
In game terms, Mirakuru isn’t a casual thing you toss on a character sheet like a new piece of gear. It’s a story choice. The moment a character injects Mirakuru, they step onto a path that changes every fight, every relationship, and probably the campaign itself.

Background:
Al-Owal means The First, and for good reason. He was the blade that sharpened others. The hand that pulled Malcolm Merlyn from Western chaos and plunged him into the League’s cold philosophy. Al-Owal was precision and tradition, a man whose body obeyed like a weapon and whose mind had long been shaped by the will of Ra’s al Ghul.
When Sara Lance defected, it was Al-Owal who was sent to retrieve her. Not merely to bring her back, but to remind the world what it means to defy the Demon. He waged a silent war in Starling City, slipping through shadows, cutting through resistance. He caught arrows in midair and faced down two of the city's fiercest fighters without hesitation.
But time had caught up with The First. His mission failed. Not from weakness, but from surprise. Oliver Queen’s interference gave Sara the edge she needed to break him. Still, he died with honor, unflinching, loyal, deadly until his final breath. The League lost a relic that day. But one that died true to its creed.

Overview
The Hoods are the main antagonists in the Season 2 premiere of the Arrow TV show, titled "City of Heroes". They are a group of vigilantes who emerged after the Undertaking, seeking to avenge the loss of loved ones by terrorizing Star City.
Imitation and Irony
They adopted Oliver Queen's alias, "the Hood," but unlike Oliver, they lacked restraint. This creates an ironic situation where they hate Oliver but idolize his vigilante persona.
Members
Weapons
The Hoods use weapons such as pump-action shotguns, assault rifles, and handguns.
Hoods Suit
To conceal their identities, they wear protective suits of unknown make, likely bulletproof.
Background Information*
The Hoods were a group of vigilantes who began terrorizing Starling City some months following the Undertaking. They took their name from the Hood and considered themselves followers of the vigilante, though their ideologies and methods were far more violent and dangerous than his. After the Undertaking, Aglin, Jeff Deveau, Baker, and Colton became vigilantes and formed a group known as the Hoods. Having lost people close to them during the earthquake, they sought revenge for the Undertaking and began targeting Starling City's one-percenters and anyone else they deemed responsible for the destruction of the Glades.
In October 2013, the Hoods assassinated Mayor Altman at the Starling Earthquake Relief Fund. The group then set their sights on Oliver Queen, whom they viewed as a paragon of the city's elite and their corruption due to his mother Moira Queen's involvement in the Undertaking. In short, scapegoating him for what was truly Malcolm Merlyn's fault. They initially attempted to kill Oliver during a board meeting at Queen Consolidated, but failed. That night, the group stormed Verdant and threatened the patrons, demanding Oliver surrender himself. They eventually fled from Verdant after kidnapping Oliver's younger sister, Thea Queen, despite the best efforts of her boyfriend, Roy Harper. The Hoods held Thea hostage in an abandoned church in the Glades, where they argued on what to do with her. The Arrow showed up, saving Thea and defeating the Hoods. As part of his new, nonviolent approach to vigilantism, the Arrow tied the Hoods to Officer Quentin Lance's car, leaving them to be arrested.

Cecil Adams, known as "The Count," rose to power in Starling City's criminal underworld through his sadistic use of Vertigo, a drug he personally designed. His willingness to experiment on the vulnerable—prostitutes, vagrants, and others on the margins—earned him a fearsome reputation. The drug's effects left a trail of destruction in its wake, as users suffered hallucinations and confusion, often leading to their deaths. His experiments earned him the nickname "The Count," a reference to Dracula due to the double puncture marks on his victims' necks.
In Season 1 of Arrow, The Count becomes a personal enemy of Oliver Queen (The Hood) after his sister, Thea, nearly dies from Vertigo. Despite being injected with a potentially fatal dose of his own drug, The Count survives, though it leaves him mentally unstable. Even after his initial defeat, Vertigo continues to plague Starling City, thanks to Dr. Webb, who frames The Count while upgrading the drug formula. The Count’s lingering influence and personal vendetta against the Hood make him one of the few villains to return.
