Nadir Union

The Nadir Union is a sovereign and antagonistic group of criminals and Destructive Irregularities. They are a major society in the Taoreta Region and are those who were exiled or have chosen to reject the world which the NOS defends. 
They appear in Control Sequence and Rebellion Sequence.
==Information==
An agency of criminals and sometimes Destructive Irregularity which built over the decades after the Third War, they’re primarily made individuals who are rogue Drive Users, are in possession of illegal weaponry, or otherwise contain abilities that could be considered threatening to society and were branded as undesirables because of this. Nadir’s philosophy is one built on strength and adaptability, and they believe in power which comes from their own resolve to lash out against a world that sentenced them to this fate. 
Unlike much of the world, they appear spiteful toward the Azure as well. When Nex is within Nadir’s territories his power is often called useless, and instead Nadir only takes interest in the Grimoire’s desires and hungers that fuel it, viewing the Azure itself as little more than a means to an end. They appear to put their beliefs into their desires, and some have managed to tame the Boundary’s power, learning to coexist with it, though it’s clearly warped most minds. But this has also given them the advantage of wielding Seithr based weaponry to a level that even the most trained of NOS forces can’t compare to. 
Likely because of how they were treated, Nadir treats outsiders with undiscriminating scorn and disdain, often viewing them as lesser. Their “recruitment” policies primarily consist of kidnapping individuals of interest or otherwise taking prisoners from those they defeat as trophies, both the NOS and LS have dealt with this. In addition, there is some kind of cruel regime that they adhere to when deciding if an outsider gets to join a circle in Nadir’s power.
They know nothing of law or control and absolutely despise the authorities of the world, preferring to bring them down with force instead of reasoning or compromise. They operate on the opposite of order, bringing chaos, and seek to gain power by whatever means. Their cutthroat nature means very few dare to venture out into Taoreta to confront them. Because Irregularities who cannot by managed are sometimes sent to Taoreta, some become part of the Nadir Union which is what inflated their threat level and capability to stand against the world's governmental system.
Supposedly, they wield illegal weaponry and technology suggesting they have their own research and experimental sites, even though the Gates there are sealed.
It's unknown if they have any real leadership.
The highest of their four circles and guilds are called the Crimson Calamity, a specialized corp which prides itself in its following of the anarchic Destroyers and Phase Black Irregularities who refused to follow the world's desire for "Eternity" during the Third War. Though these Destroyers were not as powerful as the Genesis Destroyers the NOS controlled, they still caused immense calamity phenemena before being brought down, something Nadir admires. 
==History==
While much of Nadir's history is only known to those who founded it, it is believed to be based on the tales surrounding the cult that tried to give mankind the Boundary's power during Eternal Desires, a cult that was known as the "Blood Zenith". Additionally, records suggest that Nadir came into existence during the mass exodus of Irregularities after the Third War. Criminal circles developed and over the decades would amass to become Nadir, united by their sense of disdain for the world that the NOS upholds. 
Rather than perform mass executions like that of the Purge, and due to this being a poorly received decision by the public, criminals, major and minor were transferred to Taoreta with no aid from the Government of the NOS, left to fend for themselves against the decaying region of Taoreta. Massive Aegis Ars Barriers prevented their escape and separate them from the safety of the cities, and most would perish within their first year in this harsh environment as they lived among Seithr Irregularities. Being in the Taoreta region has only caused hatred to build among them, as never knowing the protection of Ars Barriers and the Hierarchical Cities, they devolved into a savage and inhuman society. Other powerful Irregualrities being hunted down by the SIA would seek “refuge” in the Region as well, leading to Nadir protecting them to ensure their strength could be used against the system in the future. It's unknown how they managed to adapt to the region, but due to living in the direct exposure of Seithr Scourge and the Boundary's power, it has afflicted many with unusual levels of strength. Those who managed to survive would then organize the foundations of Nadir and begin clustering throughout the region. It wasn’t long before Nadir would overtake every ruined city, stationing their top circles within, and those unfortunate enough to be living in Taoreta outside of Nadir would be subjected to this newborn chaos. 
While circles did sometimes speak of superiors and leaders, it is unknown who or what this refers to. Their highest group of the Crimson Calamity, while respected and admired, is not in charge of anyone outside of their circles, though oftentimes, other criminals will listen to them out of fear alone. But there doesn't appear to be any authority figure behind them, and they seem to prefer this, listening only to who they feel is worthy. In addition, Nadir doesn’t receive any kind of funding throughout its existence, however, it still managed to build itself into what can be considered the root of a criminal empire. 
Nadir, as powerful as it may be, is hardly considered a threat by the likes of the NOS’ system, and it intends to remove them completely eventually, with many in Nadir believing that Taoreta is simply a place they're being sent to be wiped out when the system determines the best approach to do so.
==Notable members of Nadir==
===Leaders===
*Olethros - Strongest member of the Anhhilator's sect of Crimson Calamity. The most chilled and laid back of the CC who can't be bothered to care for much, even his own duties, leaving this to Rath. Notable for his specialty in bringing ruin to cities he visits, and creating weaponry to do so with, though, he never uses these weapons. 
*Atheos - Overtaker's founder and current leader. Among the most valued in the CC for his ability to send most crystals the system assigns to its soldiers against their wielders "purifying" them to their original natures. His heavy workload make him hand off the prime Overtaker role to his subordinate. 
*Zoichoris - The Ender. A cruel assassinator who sees no value in life and severs souls for his pleasure. He spends more time with husks of prime fields than humanity. 
*Laimargos - The Devourer. Resides around the Frontier, looking for prey. Amusingly, his division is made up of just himself, the husks are his fellow co-workers.
*Calin Sanders (Cal) - The leader of Sylar's former group. He is known for his wit and management skills. 
===Members=== 
*Rath - Olethros' right hand, one who loves the thrill of the hunt and often gets stuck with leading the rest of the squad since Olethros rarely takes the position seriously. He wields an experimental Axe armagus of fire that can release spikes of explosive scourge, using them like heat-seeking missiles. 
*Othel - A member of Annihilators in Olethros' employ, a bear beastkin known for his rather unusually calm, almost Zen-like demeanor. Wields a hammer Armagus with a sawn-off shotgun as his ranged arm.
*Zin - A member of Annihilators in Olethros' employ, a cocky gunslinger with an egocentrical attitude. Known for wielding two Armagus guns with deadly precision.
*Nal - A member of Annihilators in Olethros' employ, a hot-blooded and rambuncious woman who has an arm prosthetic that can be used in a variety of ways, including as a powerful energy cannon. 
*Quentin Southworth (Quent) - A member of Cal's group, an ambitious man with far-reaching plans who wields a experimental club that uses the Scourge to create scorching flames. 
*Emiah - A member of Cal's group, a refined-looking girl with an attitude who wields a experimental Bow that uses the Scourge to create devestating tempests. 
*Evalegina - Subordinate and next in line to inherit the Overtaker's role from Atheos. She is still fairly new at the job. 
*Malais - A member of the Overtakers, wields an experimental set of tonfa blades. Is working in Kagutsuchi.
===Associated or Unknowns===
*Cetan - An individual who claims to be a phantom. Tries to better the odds for Nadir against the system, but his position is otherwise unknown. 
===Former Nadir members===
*Sylar - Was a member of Cal's group. Sylar boasted pride and ruthlessness during his time in Nadir, working relentlessly to bring his group to the top-- second only to the CC leadership. However, he defected by choice, taking with him an experimental weapon called Apolloexon. He was formerly considered to hold the potential that rivaled the CC themselves due to his skills in combat and unnatural Drive.
==Storyline==
Nadir serves as a primarily antagonistic force in the stories of Rebellion Sequence and Control Sequence. 
===Control Sequence===
In Control Sequence, one of the main protagonists, Sylar, has troubled history with Nadir, and seems to know their groups quite well. He was known to be serving a criminal alliance in it. The Demon was exiled to Taoreta and later would become one of the top members of the Union due to his abilities and actions, but Sylar eventually departed the Union and by extent his group after the Ibukido Disaster by his own choosing.
In Verse 2, Nadir’s special corps CC are present and seemingly behind the events taking place in the City of Kagutsuchi, sending in one of the Vermillion Overtakers known as Malais. It’s not known if Nadir is connected to the recent release of the Boundary Manifestation Experiments such as Zaezel, though they are known to take advantage of the ruin they cause in the cities. Even so, Zaezel's release is largely speculated by the World Order Council to be due to the Nadir Union's discord toward the NOS. Oddly enough, Zaezel is lending his strength to criminal allegiances that have made use of the chaos he caused in Kagutsuchi during Verse 1.
===Azure 0: Rebellion Sequence===
Nex experiences the region firsthand, being dragged into a situation revolving around the Frontier after meeting the enigmatic Heilo Vashtor and Xendes. 
==Trivia==
*They had a temporary name of the Illegal forces, but the Nadir Union, their proper name, was revealed in Verse 2.
*Nadir is the lowest point, referencing their status being what they call "Lower than hell itself", in contrast, their inspiration of the cult known as the Blood Zenith was considered the highest.
