The following contains information about the classified Dark War. Level 4 eyes only.
Overview
The war started into hostile threats year 2001, but it wasn’t until 2002 that the fighting began. It was at this time that the Organization was formed. At year 2008 the fighting ended primarily due to the deaths of key Organization generals and the murder of the founders and leaders of the Organization. Hostilities and periodic murders continue despite this.
Beginning
The Dark War started April 1st 2002 when the Organization sent its first operatives to eliminate several murdering Darksiders after communications with the Darksider turned sour. The operatives were the leaders and founders of the Organization, Traynor Baneswing and Isabella Baneswing. Both of them were highly respected both on and off the field and assumed responsibility for the first operation against the Darksiders.
They had four targets: two females and one male of normal strength, and one male assumed to be the leader of the Darksiders, named Green. Both operatives maintained full cover by clothing themselves fully and allowing only their eyes to be visible. This was in hopes of preventing the Darksiders from taking either operatives’ appearance and infiltrating the Organization.
Though there were several obstacles that occurred through the operatives’ mission from being completed, they were able to ensure the death of three out of four Darksiders. Regrettably, Green was able to escape. Refer to Isabella Baneswing’s final report for more information.
Despite the fact the first act was intended to subdue the Darksiders and force them to cease their form-taking and mindless murdering, the Darksiders responded with violence and vengeance. They began a campaign against the Organization and all those part of it. Darksiders began to take the forms of other people in an even greater amount, making near impossible for operatives to find and destroy these Gifted. Due to this, a declaration of war was pronounced between the two parties, successfully starting what would be known as the Dark War.
