Sean Fish, the designer behind the "Manticore" persona in City of Heroes, describes his involvement with the game's lore and creative process.

Greetings from the shadows to all you CoH & CoV fans! Sean Fish here...aka Manticore. I have been part of the City of Heroes family for a long time, wrangling story and design since about a year before launch...

Now that the City of Heroes universe is fully in the NCsoft fold I get the chance to be more involved in the dev process again, which I am obviously thrilled about.
