Armsmaster's Division

Lore & Background

The division's reputation suffered heavily after the Simurgh attack on Brockton Bay. The psychological trauma inflicted on the team fractured trust between the leader and his subordinates. Later revelations regarding manipulation by Coil further tarnished the unit's legacy, leading to significant restructuring of how Protectorate branches operated in the city.

In Their Own Story

The briefing room hummed with the low sound of cooling fans as David Lance adjusted his helmet. He looked at the tactical map, red markers dotting the Docks like wounds on skin. Protocol demanded a perimeter check before engagement, but the shadows were already moving. He signaled to the comms unit, voice modulated and calm, initiating the sequence that would define their shift.

Reader's Guide

The hierarchy placed Armsmaster at the apex of local command, with Wards operating under his tactical supervision during emergencies. Ideologically, the group championed strict adherence to established laws and PRT regulations. They believed that improvisation led to collateral damage and loss of control in volatile situations. Key members included high-profile capes such as Shadow Stalker and later Vista, who operated within this framework before tensions rose. Their base was the Brockton Bay Protectorate HQ, a fortified facility designed for rapid deployment. Over time, the unit evolved from a disciplined force into a fractured group due to external manipulation and internal betrayal.
