Background

On September 14, 2009, a small squad of six Brotherhood of Steel Paladins under the command of Paladin Jim Michaels were sent from the headquarters to scout out Malton's Northern lands. To their suprise, the Paladins found numerous police stations, necrotech buildings, and many supplies. They neutralized the zombies in the surrounding areas, and took a building as their own, marking it as the headquarters of the Brotherhood's Northern Branch. The Paladins radioed in to headquarters and requested reinforcements, but with no success. Something was blocking the radio signals. Leaving Michaels and two others to watch over the Headquarters, the other Paladins set out to clean up the signals. The Paladins came to the phone mast, at a sinister building, and entered. They found mutants, but a stronger breed. These creatures could think, and formulate plans. The Paladins cleared the signal, but all were killed except for one, who was mortally wounded. He returned to Michaels and told him of the mutants before he died. Michaels swore revenge on this day, revenge to hunt down the mutants, and cleanse Malton of the plague. Michaels set out to accomplish this goal. And one by one, Michaels surviving Paladins were eliminated. Michaels was wounded horribly by the time he felt he had accomplished his goal. The North was clean of mutants. But he was mistaken...

The Brotherhood of Steel (BoS) is a techno-religious organization, with its roots in the American military and government. The Brotherhood's Northern chapter, based in CLASSIFIED, was a small group dispatched from the main Headquarters. They operate in only the Mid-North suburbs of Malton. The Brotherhood is mostly composed of the descendants of military officers, soldiers, and scientists, but aside from some outsiders among their ranks, the Brotherhood is as close to pure-strain humanity as it comes in Malton. The ranks of the Brotherhood of Steel are generally recognized as being composed of the best and the brightest remaining to humanity, which means the BoS is a relatively small organization, at least compared to other groups in Malton. Due to the Northern Branches lack of men they have been forced to recruit from the locals. However, they make up for this with their frightening supply of weapons, ammo, supplies, and their skills with using these weapons. The vast majority of BoS members are born into the Brotherhood and trained to fight as a member of the organization from a young age. The Brotherhood's Northern Chapter recognizes that to combat the mutant threat apparent in Malton, the resource buildings must be protected at all costs. These buildings, such as Police Departments, NecroTech buildings, Malls, and Phone Antennas, are the only way to completely eradicate all traces of mutants from the city.
