[[Topsy]] is an outside parahuman mercenary that was brought in when extra muscle was needed.<ref name="25.3 e2">Topsy was tricky.  Part of the reason for the surveillance had been to identify the other parahumans in his group.  He hired mercenaries, paying well, and there was no sure way to tell who he had with him, short of seeing them in costume.  Trouble was, his people were defaulting to heavier clothing over their costumes, due to the cold weather. Identities were doubly hard to discern, and Topsy wasn’t one to blab over the phone about who was working for him. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/06 Excerpt] from [[Scarab 25.3]]</ref> More recently they widened the scope of the type of mercenaries they were willing to deal with.<ref name="25.3 e7">[[Watch|He]] was a monster who left his victims dead if they were lucky, quadriplegic if they weren’t.
