Brotherhood of Kain

The Brotherhood of Kain is one of the oldest known mercenary groups. Originating as some form of cult or terrorist organization, the earliest records of the Brotherhood date back to the early 20th century. They were involved in many of the terrorist attacks in the late 20th century and early 21st century, even being responsible for a massive "alien invasion" hoax in 2047, a cover-up while they launched several raids and attacks across the globe. By the 23rd century, it is known that they were no longer as powerful as before, but why is uncertain. However, they were strong enough to have had major roles in the Interplanetary War earlier and later in the Insurrection. They used a number of illegal weapons, mostly revolving around poison gases and other toxins. By the 27th century, they are merely a fraction of what they once were, but they are still some of the most deadly saboteurs, assassins and bodyguards in the galaxy.
