Background:
Before Adam Caine focused completely on growing ARES as one of the most dominant military powers of the 25th Century, he was a mercenary himself. Developing unique techniques and sharing his experience as part of several teams and Counter Terrorist Units, he trained hundreds of mercenaries and his teachings reached two or three more generations of mercenaries. After his Caine revealed himself, the mysterious X called the Sons of Caine and formed the Cainites. Taking primarily corporate contracts, they are known to take independent contracts if the client is willing to pay 25% more. A mysterious sponsor is backing their operations, and they also have immunity against Corporate Damages and Collateral Damages. The Cainites are a unique, and deadly unit with Solos, Netrunners, Technicians, Assassins, and Medtechs.
Tips For Playing Them:
They are professional, and extremely experienced. When they got the call, they all left their places of employment as either Corporate Security Agents, Mercenaries, or Solo Assassins and joined forces under the visage of Adam Caine. They don’t ask any questions and they cease the destruction and rampage until their contract’s objective is fulfilled.
They don’t reveal their client’s identities, and they are all equipped with a special daemon implanted at the base of their neck that burns their cyberbrains if they are captured or interrogated. Their services are very expensive, but they bring nothing but the best in weapons, equipment, vehicles, and operatives to the table.
