Overview[]
Detective Kowaccio is a City of Heroes contact located in the New Overbrook neighborhood of Faultline at coordinates (-145.5, 0, -1467). Detective Kowaccio is a Police Band contact.
He functions as the Safeguard Mission contact as does Detective Frasenbacker.
Kowaccio's name suggests a composite of Ray Vecchio and Ray Kowalski, the two Chicago PD detectives from the Canadian television series Due South who served sequentially as partners to Canadian Constable Benton Fraser. Kowaccio's appearance seems to be based entirely on Ray Vecchio.
Introductions[]
New Contact(s)[]
Jim Temblor lost his father when the villain Faultline destroyed the neighborhood of Overbrook, turning it into the wasteland that still bears Faultline's name. Now that the city's started to rebuild, Jim's retirned to find some answers, but word is he's found a lot of trouble with the Lost instead.
Jim can be a bit tough to get to know, but deep down, he's a good kid.
Information[]
Detective Kowaccio is loud, brash, and willing to bend the rules to break a case. He's also one of the best cops on the force.
Initial Contact[]
So, I'm Detective Kowaccio, and I'm supposed to make sure you have the police band frequencies. Just check your radio whenever and listen. There's stuff going on all the time out there. And hey, if you do enough stuff, we'll let you know when something big's gonna go down.
Now that you've gotten a Police Radio, you can start scanning Police chatter to hear about the crimes as they're committed in your current zone. You can then act on a report by selecting it from the Police Radio, listed under your Contacts.
Missions[]
Protect Skyway City and stop the bank robbery[]
Briefing
We've just learned that a villain from the Rogue Isles is going to attack Skyway City, intent on robbing the bank and causing mayhem! To make matters worse, the Lost are somehow connected to this, and have been swarming into the zone. Paragon City needs her heroes to get over to Skyway City and protect the city and the bank from that villain. The robbers have already struck, so you should head over there quick. You probably have about 5 minutes or less before they make their escape.
This is a Safeguard mission. Once you prevent the heist, you will have 15 minutes to explore the area and potentially earn extra rewards before the P.P.D. lock down the area. You can earn extra time by defeating villains, however you can lose time if they destroy too much of the city.
We know the Lost are central to what's happening, but we've also learned that the Trolls are going to hit the streets in force to take advantage of the chaos. Your main objective is still to stop the Lost and the villain before they ruin the city and get into the bank, but stopping other villains from causing trouble would also be a great help.
Periodically, vandals will arrive to destroy parts of the city. You will see a message when they arrive, and their locations will be displayed in your minimap.
Mission Objective(s)
This isn't going to be easy. The Trolls have alerted the Lost to your presence and are planning to stop you from interfering in the bank robbery. The Lost are roaming around causing mayhem and preparing themselves for the attack on the bank vault.
- Protect Skyway City bank
- Stop the Bank Robbery
You saved Skyway City!

Protect Steel Canyon bank[]
Briefing
This is bad. Arachnos is planning an attack on Steel Canyon. We think their main objective is the bank, but they've brought a villain with them, and they're out to cause as much destruction as possible. If you can help, then please go to Steel Canyon to protect the bank and stop the attack! We got the alarm signal from the bank, so make haste and get over to the bank. You probably have about 5 minutes or less before they make their escape.
This is a Safeguard mission. Once you prevent the heist, you will have 15 minutes to explore the area and potentially earn extra rewards before the P.P.D. lock down the area. You can earn extra time by defeating villains, however you can lose time if they destroy too much of the city.
It gets worse. The Family and the Tsoo in Steel Canyon are aware of the heist, and both groups are looking at this as a way to gain ground against the other, and they won't care who gets hurt. The more of them you stop, the better off the city will be.
Periodically, vandals will arrive to destroy parts of the city. You will see a message when they arrive, and their locations will be displayed in your minimap.
Mission Objective(s)
Steel Canyon is in chaos! Arachnos troops are causing mayhem, members of the Family are standing around key locations acting suspicious, and the Tsoo are taking advantage of the anarchy in the streets.
