Anark

Anark is the famous leader of Anarky, a terrorist organization that embraces Anarchist beliefs and aims to overthrow all governments worldwide. In 3021, Anark was the most wanted criminal of all Megapolis.

### **Biography**

Anark’s real identity and motivations behind his actions remain a mystery, making it harder for security forces to arrest him. It’s only known that he has superhuman abilities and is probably a cyborg.

#### **Emergence**

Anarky is an old organization with a history that reaches the 2800's and remained as a peaceful organization that defends its values by using the right of protest so far. It’s still unknown when Anark had taken over the organization, but in his rule, Anarky’s methods have changed with violent ones, causing the organization’s members to be classified as exiles and being declared illegal by the Humanitarian Party.

After being exiles, Anarky’s members were hunted down by Freelancers, and those who remain had hidden in the shadows. Yet, it did not break the organization’s force, as a matter of fact, only made it stronger as it had started to act under the shadows. Some politicians in the assembly suggested that it was a possibility Anarky was supported by a MegaCorp, probably MegaTech.

Anark’s first recorded emergence had happened in 2998, in the city center of Megapolis. He and his men blew up a skyscraper full of people in a terrorist attack and caused the death of thousands.

### **Possible Identities and Theories**

As the most wanted man of all Megapolis, Anark’s identity, and motivation are often discussed by Megapolitans, even on TV. Over the years, people, especially conspiracy theorists, had suggested many theories regarding the terrorist leader’s real identity.

#### **John Koris**

One of the most popular theories regarding Anark's identity is that he is actually John Koris, the founder of the Humanitarian Party, the great hero of the First and Second Cyber War, and the old president of Megapolis. People claimed that John had returned from death as Anark, to punish the corrupted Party which had betrayed him and his beliefs in the first place. Yet, no one sane in Megapolis seemed to take this theory seriously.

#### **Erich Van Glonden**

On E-Wall boards, It was suggested by an anonymous person that Anark is Erich Van Glonden, ex-heir of Glonden Industries who had killed his own family after a disagreement and vanished without a trace. As he was known to be someone sympathetic over Anarchist causes, despised any form of the central government, and had enough financial support to turn into an advanced cyborg-like Anark, this theory was considered to be true by many people. Yet, T-Sec had especially announced that Anark was not Erich Van Glonden, even though he was still not found by T-Sec forces.

#### **Adam Morris**

Oliver Jefferson, an old football announcer who presents his own program on TV nowadays, had suggested that Anark could be Adam Morris, the last chief of Megapolis Police Department before its disbandment. According to Jefferson, Morris had never expected Koris to shut down the Police Department when he asked help from the party, and felt betrayed by the President’s actions. Because of that, he faked his own death and became a vigilante to take vengeance from the Party.

### **Personality**

Even though it’s little known about Anark, it is accepted that he is a mastermind strategist and a cunning leader, causing damage over damage to the Party’s rule without getting caught nor causing many casualties on his side.

He is considered to be a Cyborg due to his superhuman abilities, but no one knows his real appearance, as he wears advanced armor that keeps him protected from the ballistic power of bullets. Some also suggested that he could be an ex-Freelancer who uses Neurojumpers, but is quickly debunked as it was impossible for him to access Neurojumpers without acting as an active Freelancer.

As his armor is equipped with heavy firepower and technological gadgets, he is very deadly on his own, probably the greatest opponent a freelancer would ever face.
