The first X-ray (2–10 keV) spectral surveys of active galactic nuclei (AGN) were remarkably uniform, with spectral indices narrowly distributed about α=0.65, independent of radio-emitting properties or X-ray luminosity (Mushotzky 1984). In the few AGN detected above 20 keV, this canonical power law extended to at least 50 keV (Rothschild et al. 1983, Pounds 1985, Worrall et al. 1980; Halpern 1982; Worrall and Marshall 1984). In practice these surveys were dominated by low luminosity Seyfert 1 galaxies.
