### Description
Member of the Brotherhood of Night see themselves as the guardians of the Atacama desert and [[Haven|El Alicanto]]. With the rallying cry "Viva Atacama, Mierda!", they safeguard their home from those who seek to pilfer and abuse their lands.
Originally a more disparate group, the [[Arkangel Riot of 2045|Arkangel Riot of '45]] transformed the Brotherhood into an organized militia. Staunchly anti-[[Arkangel]], in the years following they repeatedly came to blows with [[Guardia del Pueblo]]. They argued El Alicanto's water belonged to the people, not private corporations.
Led by [[Bernardo O'Higgins]], its emblem is that of the Kodkod, a small but vicious wildcat, feared as a bad omen for all who cross its path.
As the [[Thousand Petals Coalition|Coalition]] invaded Chile, the Brotherhood and GDP issued a temporary ceasefire in an effort to combat the external threat.
