Chaioth ha-Quadesh
The Chaioth ha-Quadesh are a faction of Marauders that have taken the Bai Dai's place.
Overview
Once, there was the Bai Dai - not really a faction so much as a label for a particular type of Marauder. They were known as mass-murdering, sociopathic genocidal madmen, even by Marauder standards. They had no organization, and didn't seem to really be aware of each other or even work together by design. It seemed more a matter of blind luck that any of them were in one place at one time. Their turnover was astounding, as they went out in orgiastic blazes of suicidal glory far too quickly to ever really develop a structure.
A few years ago, however, a cabal began organizing Bai Dai. The Sitrin, a cabal of militant occult apocalyptics, started rounding up Marauders and directing their actions under the banner of the Chaioth ha-Quadesh, trying to convince the maddest of the mad to control themselves somewhat, to live to fight another day. This didn't work very well at first, and several of the Sitrin were killed attempting to work with Marauders who were too far gone for anything but mass destruction.
With the arrival of the Avatar Storm and the ejection of the most deviant Marauders from reality, the Sitrin had more time to devote to their war and less time wasted trying to herd maniacs. The Bai Dai, now the Chaioth ha-Quadesh, has suddenly become a frightening and dangerous force under the zealous leadership of the Sitrin. They strike without provocation at nearly any large group of people, killing without remorse. Airplanes, concerts and government gatherings are prime targets. The sudden rise to power of the Chaioth ha-Quadesh has hit the world completely off-guard, and the Conventions have been scrambling to deal with their attacks all over the world.
The Chaioth ha-Quadesh has a special dislike for Infernal powers and Nephandi, and has staged some of the most bloody and violent attacks against them ever known, ravaging entire city blocks to destroy a single Nephandus. Most members of this faction are violent, militant, and of a technical bent. Actions staged by the Chaioth ha-Quadesh are heralded by explosions and the sounds of heavy weapons.
