,, At this moment, you are nobody, nothing more than a maggot squirming in a rotten apple, the life you had before coming here is of little importance. It is what you do from now onward that matters for me, it is what you do from now on that will define you, because from this day onward you begin a new life, a life of freedom brought by me. You are a Brigadier now, make me proud. ’’ – quote from Aleister Corke to one of the convicts who joined the Brigade

Lore

The Warhound Brigade is a paramilitary, covert unit composed mainly of ex-convicts, criminals, pirates and other law breakers who were either released, either ransomed from prison, or simply thought of putting back their law breaking life and fighting for a "better” cause – as bringing death for securing the so called peace is better than wishing death, disturbing it -, a cause which would often need the same means they used before adopting it.

This unit found itself under the direct command of the Guild Core until recently, yet Brigade Master Aleister ,,Corvus” Corke, the commander of Warhound Brigade observed that the situation among the Core and it’s decrease of activity was "different from the Brigade’s interests“ and so, he has decided to lead the Brigade on a different path, but still keeping their loyalty towards the Guild Core.
Now, at this moment, the Unit’s primary objective is to bolster up it’s size due to it’s low manpower. In order to do this, it’s leadership is undergoing the hectic move of makings ends meet and doing whatever necessary to accomplish this objective. Also, due to it’s current situation, the Brigade is looking forward into acquiring an income source of its own.
