The Brotherhood

The Royal and Fraternal Order of Extraordinary Talent, generally known as the Brotherhood, was founded merely as a semi- secret order of well-connected mages in 1756; some of their original members were founding fathers of the American Revolution.  However, in present day, they have become a violent, accelerationist Magio-Supremacist  group.  They are not content with the status quo that allows mages to use the Talent legally and allows the Department of Integrated Services to oversee Talented individuals and businesses.  They want magic to be out in the open, and magic to rule the world.
Among their core beliefs are:

• mages are superior to non-Talented peoples.
• mages should be ruling American society, since they are superior.
• mages should not be embedded or integrate; they should be out in the open.
• white mages are the best of the mages and should rule over mages of other races.
• mages should have their own society, separate from mundane peoples (that should still rule over mundane peoples).
• the United States of America was founded by mages and therefore should be for mages.
• law has failed the mages.  The Broad Pearl Code serve to limit, restrict, and otherwise hinder mages from taking their "rightful" (read: ruling) place in society, and only keep mages from using their full potential.
• in order to take their "rightful" place in American society, the government needs to be overthrown, the Constitution and the Broad Pearl Code dismantled and re-written.
• violence is the only way to achieve this overthrown and found this new society based on Talent and race.

To this end, the Brotherhood is engaged in the following agenda:

• overthrow the government, both with political pressure and with violence and threats of violence.
• target and punish Talented peoples who integrate into mundane society willingly, either as embedded mages in government, society, or military, or by hiding their Talents.
• target and punish companies, schools, and other institutions that do not fulfill the Brotherhood's ideas of a white, Talented ruling society.
• gain acceptance of their beliefs and ideologies by recruitment in schools and colleges.
• propagate their beliefs through media.

The Brotherhood was behind several terrorists attacks in recent years.  On 9/11, they destroyed several Talented businesses in New York City when Al-Qaeda destroyed the World Trade Center.  They have attacked several Talented gatherings, including concerts, conferences, and even family gatherings, and have targeted field offices of the Department of Integrated Services and the Seraphim .  Recently, two school shootings, one at St. Augustine's School for the Talented and one at Jacob Philadelphia High School, were committed by youth recruited by the Brotherhood.
