Syndicate

Overview

The Syndicate is an organised criminal group frequently encountered in Praetoria. It is heavily factionalised, with some Syndicate in alliance with the Resistance. Players can learn all about the Syndicate, and gain a first-hand perspective, by undertaking the story arcs of Chance McKnight. The Syndicate is often encountered as an enemy, and at other times as neutral or allies.

Taken from Syndicate Official Enemy Group Profile

Subgroups

Enemy Types

Minions

Blade Initiate

The Syndicate has survived by recruiting only those with at least some psychic potential. The initiates are the bottom rung of Syndicate ladder, they have yet to prove themselves and ascend to the ranks of Adept.

Sword Adept

Only those that have achieved enlightenment through brutal combat, have proved themselves worthy members of the Syndicate and unlocked their true potential may call themselves Adepts.

Brawler Initiate

The Syndicate has survived by recruiting only those with at least some psychic potential. The initiates are the bottom rung of Syndicate ladder, they have yet to prove themselves and ascend to the ranks of Adept.

Brawler Adept

Pistol Initiate

Pistol Adept

Only those that have achieved enlightenment through brutal combat, have proved themselves worthy members of the Syndicate and unlocked their true potential may call themselves Adepts.

Lieutenants

Pyrokineticist

The Syndicate encourages their Adepts to advance their psychic powers, so it isn't uncommon to see Pyrokineticists within their ranks. These fiery Adepts are capable of not only hurling bolts of fire, but also stealing power from their foes to build their own.

Striker

When the Syndicate needs muscle they call in their Strikers. Whether it's to put the hurt on someone who has crossed the Syndicate or to rally Initiates and Adepts under them; the Strikers command respect within the Syndicate ranks.

Suit

Suits are there to keep the Syndicate Initiates and Adepts in line and to make sure they don't fall prey to Mother Mayhem's Seers. They act as a sort of psychic shield for their men. The Suits are cold and calculating, one part business man, one part heartless killer.

Sword Master

These Syndicate diehards were once initiates who rose through the ranks of their organization through dedication, skill and no small amount of craziness. Sword Masters can cut the very air causing blades of wind to slice at their foes from range.

Telekineticist

The Syndicate encourages their Adepts to advance their psychic powers, so it isn't uncommon to see Telekineticists within their ranks. These Adepts are capable of manipulating kinetic energy to crush their foes, but also to steal power from their foes to build their own.

Bosses

Masamoto

Masamoto is one of the top Syndicate leaders. He has enjoyed great success in the Syndicate Corp Wars due to his own martial prowess.

(Players meet him in It's Raining Lead from Chance McKnight)

Tub Ci

The personal bodyguard of Mr. Wu Yin, and director of security for Yin Corp. Tub Ci Tang abandoned his life as leader of the crumbling Hmong Tsoo criminal organization and has instead sworn to defend the Yin family with his life. Rumors persist about how he lost his eye, but Tub Ci has refused to confirm any of the stories.

Wu Yin

Mega Corp titan and CEO of Yin Corp, Mr. Yin is a household name. In the wake of the Hamidon Wars, Mr. Yin's hard work ethic galvanized his workers, forming the world spanning Yin Corp in a matter of a few short years. Invaluable in the reconstruction efforts, Mr. Yin enjoys a privileged life along with his daughter and heiress to the corporate throne, Penelope Yin.

Byron Wade is a high level executive at Kantir Corporation. He's also a powerful lieutenant of Octavian's, the man who may very well be the leader of the Syndicate.
