Formed under the guidance of the Blade King of Zangyaku, the men and women of the past and at present who have called themselves “War Hounds” have worked tirelessly towards reforming the Vigil. Their main goal has always been to pave the way towards a New Age, because the Veil’s going to go eventually. While their operations take their Hunters all over the world, their “home” is the Philippines, a country whose importance in geo-politics has always been underestimated – but its significance in the World of Darkness cannot be ignored.
The tragedy of the War Hounds is that - beyond Brianna herself - not a single member of the "original" blade has survived, and each "batch" loses at least two or three of its operatives. There have been members who have stayed on for a few cycles, but the natural end to pursuing their vision appears to be madness or death. Constantly living through this has made Brianna wonder, with increasing frequency, if she needs to change her game. This shift in disposition is most visible in the Hounds of tonight's Vigil.
ROLAND STEVENSON [BRIGADE] Alias: HECATON's First Son
Affiliations: Taskforce Valkyrie, HECATON Special Operations PROMETHEAN [EXTEMPORE]; HECATON’S FIRST SON / OPERATIVE OF HECATON SQUAD 001, "BATES". PRIMARY COMPACT/CONSPIRACY: HECATON SPECIAL OPERATIONS.
A Promethean constructed by the scientists of HECATON Special Operations using techniques lifted from Fourth World sciences, his body formed from the dog tags and blood of the Unit’s original 2,500 soldiers. Raised by Lincoln Hawke, Aaron Brennan and Angela Brennan, Brigade has always felt like humanity was an attainable goal while being aware of the unique stipulations of his nature. A pivotal moment in Brigade’s existence was the gifting of a Heart of Stone to HECATON from the Blade King, a Relic that effectively allowed Brigade to immerse himself in the human communities that he needed in order to create his own Philosopher’s Stone. He’s only recently returned to active duty: his superiors had him prioritize his Pilgrimage following the end of World War II.
Brigade's presence on the War Hounds was an extra bonus for recruiting Joshua Larue to the War Hounds. He went, however, from another good pair of hands to being Brianna's surrogate older brother after saving her from several assassination attempts. Their friendship is a living example of supernaturals getting over their instinctive revulsion towards other denizens of the Dark that seem to be built to be their nemeses.
PLOT POINTS AS OF 01 OCTOBER 2016
People think that Brigade uses a shield because he idolizes Captain America. The truth of the matter is, the original creators of Captain America were inspired to give their character a shield because of comic book portrayals of Brigade.
