Enemy Types

= Blade Initiate

The Syndicate has survived by recruiting only those with at least some psychic potential. The initiates are the bottom rung of Syndicate ladder, they have yet to prove themselves and ascend to the ranks of Adept.

Sword Adept

Only those that have achieved enlightenment through brutal combat, have proved themselves worthy members of the Syndicate and unlocked their true potential may call themselves Adepts.

Brawler Initiate

Lieutenants

Striker

When the Syndicate needs muscle they call in their Strikers. Whether it's to put the hurt on someone who has crossed the Syndicate or to rally Initiates and Adepts under them; the Strikers command respect within the Syndicate ranks.

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.

Sword Master

These Syndicate diehards were once initiates who rose through the ranks of their organization through dedication, skill and no small amount of craziness. Sword Masters can cut the very air causing blades of wind to slice at their foes from range.

Named Bosses

Edge

Edge is a master swordsman and one of Boss Masamoto's most trusted lieutenants. If he's here, then blood is sure to be spilt.

Gunther

Gunther Stevens is a psychic known to be working within the Syndicate. Like his fellows he continues to escape notice from the Seers through some means of blocking their second sight. There is no way of telling how many dangerous psychics like Gunther exist under the protection of the Syndicate.

Lance

Sword Master
