Shadow Thieves

—Organizations motto

The Shadow Thieves was a small criminal organization made up of a few members, each with a specific set of skills. The organization earned its funds through a variety of heists, stealing from jewelry stores to banks. The most successful heist that had been planned was an armed robbery on an unknown UEG colony. After the heist, the team had went their separate ways, immediately dissolving the organization. The organization was reformed after Michael West claimed leadership status and his team reunited. Michael's team was determined to break into the UNSC Maximum Security Detention Facility to save David King. Michael agreed, and after hearing about David's predicament, he decided to place everyone in cryosleep to break him out in a more prominent year.

After Michael was murdered, his son, Shawn, took over the organization, but didn't exactly re-establish it till 2590. During this time period, Shawn took the opportunity to recruit younger team members for the organization. After, Shawn follows his father's instructions via hologram and his father's team are released from their cyro chambers. As to avoid confusion, Shawn assigned the organizations members team names. Shawn's fathers team had been known as Team Ace, while his younger team had been known as Team Rouge. Shawn and Team Ace had planned to break David out of the federal prison, which had became a success, but they had unknowingly released Kyle Craig from his Cryosleep as well. An assault had begun on the prison and both parties had escaped with injuries. Team Ace went into hiding to recover from their injuries, while Shawn and his compatriots worked together to track down David King and Kyle Craig, offering any assistance to the UEG Law Enforcement authorities and even ONI, going to lengths to earn the respect of both organizations as well as a chance to start a new.
