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.

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.

Bosses

Sword Master

Sword Master

Suit

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.
