Any groups or Archvillains changed for Going Rogue have the latest version shown on this page, while NPCs no longer in active missions are shown as they were immediately before Going Rogue. Some of these groups are no longer present in active missions, due to the massive reworking of Praetoria for Going Rogue, while others became distinct enemy groups by themselves.This page is divided first into the various Archvillains that are Praetors or ruling members of Emperor Cole's government, and then into the various factions that are often seen accompanying these "Praetorian Guardsmen" into battle (they are named according to the groups in which they appear in their Architect Entertainment listing).This can sometimes lead to confusion between "Praetorians," referring to this group of enemies, and "Praetorians," meaning "anyone from Praetoria." As such, any references to "Praetorians" from before Going Rogue's release mean this group specifically, rather than the wider group of characters from Praetorian Earth introduced with Going Rogue. Prior to Going Rogue, these were the only Praetorians seen in-game.The Praetors are also known as the Praetorian Guard, and are exceptionally ruthless in their pursuit of their goals - whether those goals further Emperor Cole's plans or not. Almost all of them originate from Praetorian Earth, though some are from other parallel worlds. Emperor Cole appointed several Praetors to help him run the government, and those worthy of the honor are among the most powerful and dangerous beings encountered in the multiverse. While Praetoria has many people and factions, a select group are specifically known as "Praetorians" due to their association with the leadership of Praetoria.
