Section A: Eden Foundation Section B: The Black House
CO-FOUNDER ANCIENT ALPHA
He has watched empires rise and fall. He will not watch humanity fall next.
CO-FOUNDER ANCIENT ALPHA
Her love built the Foundation. Her fury protects it.
DEPUTY DIRECTOR
She lost an arm to the darkness. She picked up a better one.
TACTICAL LEAD /OPERATIVE FORMER MI5
East End born, battle-hardened, and constitutionally incapable of leaving a fight unfinished.
TEAM SNIPER/HEAVY RECON SPECIALIST
The Foundation's mountain. The one who came back from death harder than before.
ORT-7 TEAM LEAD
Military brevity. Dormant power. The kind of man the darkness didn't see coming.
SCHOLAR FIELD OPERATIVE
The world's foremost authority on the Night Lords. She studies the monsters so the team doesn't have to guess.
COMMUNICATIONS HUB
She holds every thread of every operation together. Nothing moves without her knowing.
INTELLIGENCE & TECHNOLOGY
He built the encrypted network that keeps the Foundation alive. When systems fail, he finds another way.
MAC'S 2IC VATICAN-TRAINED
Descended from something ancient. Trained by something older. The one who senses what the others can't see.
The adversaries. The architects of the threat Eden was built to stop.
SOVEREIGN OF THE BLACK HOUSE
He has ruled from the shadows longer than empires have stood. The Foundation was built to end him.
BLACK HOUSE COUNSEL
The law is whatever he says it is. Every contract the Black House holds bears his hand.
BLOOD MAGE·WARDEN OF FIRE
She does not follow the Chairman. She chooses to. That distinction keeps the world afraid of her.
FALLEN SOVEREIGN
He was cast out and came back wearing it like a crown. The Black House's most dangerous mind.
INFERNAL AGENT
Rage made manifest. The Black House does not aim him — it releases him.
SOVEREIGN OF SECRETS
She does not threaten. She informs. Every empire that ever fell had her fingerprints on the first crack.
Jinkou
Il'Shihane, the Red Kensei, called it honor. Jinkou calls it a leash. The Oni were not made for restraint — they were made for Fear, for hunger, for dominion. His sensei chose humanity's mercy. Jinkou chooses their ruin.
SECTION C - INDEPENDENTS
Having escaped the chains in the shadow war, their choice can turn the tide
Oni Hegemony - The Redeemers of Law
Il'Shihane
He was the most feared Oni assassin alive — the Red Kensei, the Black House's shadow. Then he learned what 2,700 years of chains truly cost his people. The weapon turned. Now he is the most dangerous thing in either world: an Oni Lord with no master but his own conscience.
