Port Noble Citizen's Brigade
Overview
The Port Noble Citizen's Brigade (appearing ingame as the PNCB) are an enemy faction appearing in John Houston's arc.
Background
During John Houston's arc, Stephanie Peebles explains the PNCB's true nature:
Speaking of wolves, hm? They are wolves too, in sheep's clothing. No citizens I know of have joined these 'patriots'. They never come around to have a drink at the tavern, like real locals do. Surely you must have figured it out by now? They are what's left of the Council. Those thugs will never leave Striga. They'll be back. And until they can get reinforcements they hide out in plain sight, looking respectable in a suit and tie.
