Lord Kane is a henchman in Evil Genius. He is the starting henchman for Shen Yu and can be recruited by other Evil Geniuses at 225 or 360 notoriety.
Background[]
Lord Kane is an almost mythic figure in the criminal underworld. Many urban legends hold Lord Kane responsible for pretty much every major crime or disaster this century, from the assassination of Archduke Franz Ferdinand to the Hindenburg. Unlike most urban legends, they are actually true in this case, although Lord Kane is of course meticulous in ensuring that no evidence can ever link him to his deeds. He insists to this day that his biggest crime was simply the result of a deaf lackey who misheard his order of "A bit of light panic, I think, eh?" as "The ship Titanic, sink her."
With the European aristocracy wrapped around his little finger and the unwashed masses quaking in fear at his very name, Lord Kane is both a master manipulator and deadly combatant.
Overview[]
Lord Kane is a decent melee fighter with average stats. When sent into the world map, Kane is good at stealing and excels at plotting.
Special abilities[]
- Psychic Terror (150 experience, 2 minutes cooldown): Kane terrorizes his enemies with his mind, causing the enemy agent and other agents around them to beg for mercy and then be sent into a temporary state of panic, leaving them vulnerable.
- Smooth Operator (350 experience, 3 minutes cooldown): Kane uses his manipulation skill to convince an enemy agent that there is nothing suspicious, removing all heat they have acquired. Best used on Super Agents, as the target will freeze in place until they lose all health or endurance, or when Kane arrives.
Trivia[]
- Lord Kane is based on Keyser Söze, the main antagonist of The Usual Suspects. Indeed, he is named as "Soze" in the game files.
