Surveys of AGN taken in the optical, UV, and soft X-rays miss an important population of obscured AGN only visible in the hard X-rays and mid-IR wavelengths. Since the hard X-ray emission directly traces AGN activity, it offers the best chance to understand AGN activation. Optical imaging of this sample provides an opportunity to understand how the environments of the host galaxies are linked to AGN. We review the nature of a sample of 185 hard X-ray selected nearby (z<0.05) AGN to understand the critical link between AGN triggering, the merging process, and star formation in the host galaxy as well as multiwavelength AGN emission.
