Editing Legend (section)

===Background===
Legend received his powers as part of [[Cauldron|Cauldron's]] program, becoming a founding member of the [[Protectorate]]. He was present for [[Behemoth|Behemoth's]] emergence in 1992.<ref>[[Interlude 15.z]]</ref> After [[Hero|Hero's]] death, he became the leader of a smaller team based in [[New York]].<ref>[https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/3koqyc/what_protectorate_team_are_eidolon_and_hero_a/cuz8v53 Comment by Wildbow on Reddit]</ref> 

When [[Leviathan]] approached [[Brockton Bay]], Legend took the opportunity to inform every parahuman there of the odds of survival.<ref name="8.1 e5">A pre-battle speech from ''Legend''.  It almost made the lousiest, most painful and dangerous situations I’d put up with since putting on my costume worth it.<br><br>“But you should know your chances going in.  Given the statistics from our previous encounters with this beast, a ‘good day’ still means that one in four of the people in this room will probably be dead before this day is done.”<br><br>Or not. - [[Extermination 8.1]]</ref> This was something that he, as a veteran of such engagements, was rarely able to do.<ref name="8.2 e1">“I’m telling you your chances now because you deserve to know, and we so rarely get the chance to inform those individuals brave enough to step up and fight these monsters.  The primary message I want to convey, even more than briefing you on the particulars of his abilities, organizing formations and battle plans, is that I do not want you to underestimate Leviathan.  I have seen too many good heroes,” he paused for a fraction of a second, “And villains, too, die because they let their guard down.” - [[Extermination 8.2]]</ref>
