Bloodhounds

The Bloodhounds were a paramilitary unit within the Second Vanguard's inner circle. Established by Second Vanguard commander Redmond Venter, the Bloodhounds were a small cadre of assassins, saboteurs, and commandos personally trained by Venter from early ages as his personal agents. Composed primarily of war orphans recruited on battlefronts across the frontier, the Bloodhounds were trained using techniques Venter gleaned from his debriefing of the rogue Simon-G294. Put into the field at ages as young as twelve, Bloodhounds were highly effective and utterly loyal to Venter. Many Bloodhound trainees were embedded as field operatives for the Second Vanguard, and the best of them operated in small teams to strike key targets and prepare the battlefield for Insurrectionist. Few Bloodhounds survived past their teens, and those who did were promoted to leadership positions within the Second Vanguard.
