Past
The Order itself has been around since the day right after the crucifixion of Jesus Christ when a soldier by the name of Longinus discovered the blood stains of Christ on his spear could not be washed off no matter how much he dipped the spear in the river. From then on the Spear has been referred to as the Spear of Destiny and has been the grounds for the Organization to control Destiny itself. No one really knows what happened to Longinus after that day rumor has it he gave his spear to his two sons, abandoning war for the teachings of Christ. There in the hands of his two sons it can only be suggested that both brothers’ fought each other for ownership of spear in doing so awakening an inner bloodlust that even today is referred as the Order’s legacy curse, condemned to forever haunt the Order’s members. It is said that the elder brother eventually killed his younger brother in doing so making the first kill of the Order, forever creating his own legacy within the Order‘s history books.
Shortly after this occurred an Order appeared in Jerusalem to maintain power in the chaos that followed the death of God’s supposed son, according to rumors the elder brother began gathering forces across the land creating the Order of Black Hand’s predecessor. The Order was charged with protecting the Holy Lands and did so for many years. Over time as the blood thinned the elder brother’s descendents were often challenged by the Templar Knights themselves. A blood feud that would last 5 generations until the blood that had spilled all across the land of Israel and it was decided by the king of France ad England that both the Order and the Templar Knights were to dangerous to remain in power. That decision lead to the destruction of both Templar and Order members in what could only be described today in history books as the Slaughter of the Lamb. Before facing crucifixion the last surviving member of the Order revealed to the public their most treasured/ well kept secret that Jesus himself was a father, with those spoken made the first confession of Christianity. He was then nailed to the cross and pinned to it for three days before bleeding to death from the wounds sustained. His words however remained immortal as a peasant who witnessed his speech took down placing them on a scroll. It was this scroll that lead emperor Constantine to found Catholicism, in order to prevent this secret from ever spreading out, appointing the first Pope of the Catholic Church with the duty of killing all those who witnessed the confession of the last member of the Order.
Blood was spilled as hundreds if not thousands were killed many who carried this taboo secret, many who didn’t in this witch hunt for the cover up of the truth. Then when the blood had reached its pinnacle it stopped, all of it, the Catholic Church was then ordered to atone for their sins through the 1000 year cleansing, a grace period in which the Roman Catholic Church sealed itself away from warfare or blood shed. Supposedly the seal is still intact to this day waiting to be broken by the modern day Pope. But secrets have a way of staying alive no matter how deep you bury them, the only remaining Witness to the Confession was a young girl called Sinclair whom had managed to escape the Catholic order by traveling to the New World. There she told her own daughters as bed time stories of the secret to the confession, whom she described as Angels condemned to the head of a pin. There it laid in the heads of innocent girls as a mere bed time story, nothing more then a myth to be told off to children, it would be almost 400 years later that the Order would reemerge from the shadows, as a homeless woman died giving birth before leaving this world giving away her final secret to a stranger, the secret of the confession. The mysterious man to whom we now refer to as the puppeteer would then set the corpse of a murderer free from Hell resulting in the Chernobyl explosion in Russia. The man asked only one thing from the murderer’s corpse as he whispered it into the murderer‘s ear “Vengeance in the form of Penance upon a world formed in lies.” Placing the Spear of Destiny on his Chest, disappearing back into the shadows once again.
Present
Egan took these words personally “Vengeance in the form of Penance” he used these words as his motivation for his newly restored life. Claiming to one day control Destiny itself leaving the den of his rebirth behind him to form the new Order of the Black Hand. For decades Egan remained underground as he plotted collected Intel on Nations and Powers, soon thereafter he realized that in order to obtain control of the world he would need ‘chess pieces’ from all over the world and so began recruiting special mercenary forces as he laid each chess piece down and readied himself to launch against the United Nations which he believed could be controlled in three steps.
The Plan
The First step in his plans were obvious, the need for money. In order to maintain balance in power money was needed for weapons of war, contacts, and motion something that was Omni present in all three steps. To obtain the basic levels of money Egan turned to various mobs, robbing them at their lowest points. With this he could supply basic pistols knives and grenades tools necessary for the transition to the next step towards Global control. Using half of the money he had collected Egan made various contacts throughout different jails around the world, his goal in this was find ‘unique talent’ which he would then spring out of Jail using his own special talents offering the escapee freedom and power if they follow in his ranks. With this step two could begin Infamy
.
Infamy was perhaps the most difficult step of all three. It would require both a show of brute force with the cunning of a general to pull off, two things Egan did not lack, now with several followers by his side. Step two involved creating the first super powered mercenary force with no country allegiance that could easily be used from both sides of a war. During War or times of conflict they could then undercut other mercenaries fighting foreign country’s battles at a much cheaper rate then traditional mercenary forces with the advantage of working below the radar, effectively making them more efficient then traditional warfare tactics squads. All the while learning and studying the defense weak points of their employed country. This would allow them to instigate wars and control the monopoly of warfare. In doing so creating powerful underworld allies that could supply them with even further Intel on super powered countries. The Order would then stage coop using stolen Intel on foreign countries in order to fake their destruction while on the field. With the world believing them to be dead they could more easily move behind the scenes in order to track down major corporate scientist for advance weapons development such as nuclear powered weaponry which they could then use to make their presence known to the public, by demonstrating several acts of terror, further instigating conflict between nations.
With an army of super humans and advanced nuclear based atomic weaponry as their leverage the UN would have no choice but to recognize the Order as a high level threat. At which point using the sensitive Intel gathered along with the threat of nuclear holocaust the Order could not only establish diplomatic Immunity declaring itself its own country but also gain a respectable amount of control over powerful nations the Order had previously served under as a mercenary force. As a separate and individual nation of its own the Order would make Asteroid M their base of nuclear operations as no air force would dare take down a floating air base containing highly sensitive nuclear devices. Using this along with further fear antics the Order could easily take control of the World from behind the scenes making it much easier to control the hero population on the planet even using this to prevent any form of retribution from any of the Governing nations of the Earth.
