Council/Ascendants

This article is about the Council enemy. For other uses, see Ascendants.

Overview

Ascendants are a sub group of the Council faction. They are the personal guard of the Council leader, the mysterious Center.

The Ascendants are chosen first and foremost for their loyalty. Extensive background checks and multiple mental and physical tests of loyalty are performed on every candidate. Once a member of the Council has been accepted as a potential Ascendant they are put through a rigorous training program that teaches them combat, bodyguarding, and security techniques as well as testing their resolve. After successfully completing the training phase, a final personal interview with the Center is the make or break moment for any aspiring Ascendant. If they pass, they’re accepted into an elite force within the ranks of the Council, if not they are removed from the organization entirely. ([1])
