It was a Balseraph of the War and a Djinn of Fire who approached Baal
with their idea. They wanted to form a martial order, fiercely loyal to
Hell, that would hunt agents of Heaven that had grown too powerful in
one area. Rather than working at separate goals, this order would work
together to achieve victory. Instead of one demon claiming glory, all
of the demons within this group would share in it. Baal found the idea
somewhat intriguing. The notion of sending an organized force rather
than assorted rabble against some of Heaven's finest appealed to him.
Thus with the blessings of the Prince of The War, the Hyacinth
Brotherhood was created as an answer to the Order of the Eternal Sword.
Membership in a Hunting Pack is limited to Servitors of Baal and Belial
that have a proven ability to work together with other demons. The
strict requirement has kept the membership roster low, but has not
diminished their effectiveness. Once accepted for membership, the demon
gives up its name and its Heart is moved into a special location for
members of the Brotherhood. They are integrated into a Hunting Pack
that gets sent to Earth on missions of assassination.
The typical operation of a Hunting Pack is quite simple. One pack,
consisting of no more than four demons attempts to take out the target.
If the victim is an angel or a Saint, they will do everything possible
to Soul Kill the target. If they are going after a human, an Impudite
of the War is sent in for the kill. Should the pack be taken out, a
second pack moves in for the kill. The Brotherhood has become
dangerously effective at what they do and have been able to keep
collateral damage to a minimum. Although they cannot follow a target
into Heaven, some members smugly assert that it's only a matter of time
before they can.
Needless to say, neither Laurence nor the Order of the Eternal Sword are
taking this insult lightly. The Archangel of the Sword has ordered all
of his Earthly Servitors to put themselves between the Brotherhood and
their targets. Peliel is offering membership in the Order of the
Eternal Sword to any angel that provides solid information on the names
and locations of the two demons that began this abomination.
