Editing Pretender (section)

===Post-[[Echidna]]===
As with many Cauldron-made capes, Pretender's loyalties came under suspicion after the Echidna crisis. After the PRT investigation uncovered his origins, he realized that [[Satyrical]] would be next to be questioned. To stall their progress, he killed a government [[Thinker]], but was caught and arrested.<ref name="I24.y e2">Satyr seemed to take that into consideration, rubbing his chin. When he spoke, though, he spoke of something else. “What you did… you knew that they’d figured you out, and that I was next in line, that I’d get questioned too. You killed her for my sake, to buy me time.”<br/><br/>“Are you mad?”<br/><br/>Satyr shook his head. “We’ve killed before. Selfishly, selflessly. Only difference is you got caught.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/06/25/interlude-24-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 24.y]]</ref>

Pretender hired [[Bambina]], [[August Prince]], and [[Starlet]] to free him as he was moved by the Protectorate to a more secure location. While they provided distraction, he was retrieved by [[Contessa]].<ref name="23.2"/>

Now employed directly by Cauldron, he took control over Alexandria's braindead body to fight [[Behemoth]] in [[New Delhi]], and presumably perform other services during the timeskip.<ref name="I24"/>
