Retrograde

Powers: Architecture Manipulation, System Slow Down
Downgrade Protection and Productivity

An old school, anti-modernization virus, Retrograde loves to return your technology back to a simpler time. He takes great moral victory in taking your robust, efficient code and turning it into a piece of turn of the century, functionless art.

Powers:

Architecture Manipulation:

Capable of turning a modern computer system into a freakish, steampunk version of itself.

System Slow Down:

Retrograde loves to overly complicate the simple tasks, this could range from slowing down operations and corrupting files, to completely crippling the system and rendering it inoperable.

Downgrade Protection and Productivity:

Retrograde can reverse engineer your state-of-the-art system, returning it to a legacy version so that it is no longer upgradeable, and is more susceptible to further attacks and manipulation.

History:

Retrograde’s infamy grew when he targeted the fuel supply company EnerTech in 2019, paralyzing their main pipeline, which precipitated a fuel supply crisis in the northern region of the United States and parts of Canada. This ransomware attack cost the company a staggering $10 million in ransom. The resulting fuel shortage was felt by millions of residence and businesses that were cut-off from fuel during the coldest months of winter.
