With origins steeped in gene‑therapy and cybernetic augmentation, they turned their skills into an underground network that operates like a living web—coordinating traps, manipulation, and lethal strikes across Elysia’s underbelly. >[!history]- History > - A clandestine strike on a major data center crippled the Datamancer’s Guild, forcing it to outsource key operations. > - The successful extraction of an Avalon Industries prototype sparked a citywide crackdown that only deepened their resolve. > - An assassination attempt on a high‑ranking Sentinal officer left the operation undiscovered, cementing their reputation for perfect invisibility. >[!hier]- Hierarchy and Structure > At its core lies the “Webmaster,” a charismatic leader who orchestrates operations through a decentralized network of “Spiders.” Each Spider runs a cell responsible for infiltration, information gathering, or direct assault. Communication is encrypted via bio‑signal jammers that mimic neural patterns, making trace impossible. The hierarchy is fluid: when a Spider demonstrates exceptional skill, they ascend to “Queen’s Court,” an advisory council that dictates strategic direction. >[!base]- Stronghold >Their lair resides beneath the abandoned subway tunnels of Elysia's [[1. City Center]], concealed by layers of bio‑reactive walls that shift with ambient noise. Within, a maze of chambers—each dedicated to a specific function (traps, labs, armory)—is guarded by autonomous sentries and traps that deter even the most daring infiltrators. >[!ops]- Operations >>[!agenda]- Acquire Forbidden Knowledge >> They aim to harvest secrets from [[Cult of the Joker]] who they see as a threat to their mission. > >>[!agenda]- Disrupt Corporate Alliances >>Weaken rivals like Avalon Industries, Kusanagi Technologies, and The Cult of the Joker. > >>[!agenda]- Expand Influence in the Underworld >>Securing loyalty from smaller gangs ensures a steady supply of recruits and resources. >[!rumors]- Rumors > - “The White Widows are planning to replace their queen with an Aetherial possession." > - “A secret deal exists between the Widows and The Ravens—if true, it could spark an unprecedented gang war.”
