Mark of Cain

"Am I my brother's keeper?"The Mark of Cain Chapter originated in blighted cities of 19th Century Europe and America, particularly London and New York when they were ruled by rival gangs. The MoC functions like an international street gang, taking in Adepts who hail from less than desirable backgrounds.
Status: Active.
== Facts: ==
-The Mark of Cain is not a nice Chapter. While other Adepts follow a code of ethics, the MoC is composed of convicts, former criminals and gang members.
-The MoC originated among the Order of Fallen and continues to draw heavily from the Dark Order.
-The Mark of Cain is called so because of its identifying sigil, a black, bloody handprint tattooed on its members. This tattoo is usually on the back of the shoulders and is supposed to represent the Biblical Abel, victim to history's first crime.
-The Mark of Cain is becoming a major source of crime in the world; prostitution, blackmail, narcotics, gun running, are more and more coming up on MOC rap-sheets. 
-The MoC is itself divided into membership blocs that represent non-Adept street gangs. Latin Kings, Crypts, the Bloods, etc., all the famous gangs of the world probably have at least a minor presence within the MoC.
-The MoC sees itself as neither good nor evil. They are simply honest about the brutality of life, and how hard the day to day struggle can be.
-Aside from the Evangelists and Redeemers, the Ecclesiastical Orders want nothing to do with the MoC's daily activities. The Evangelists and Redeemers try to convince the MoC to change their ways, but they don't endorse the illegal activities of the Chapter.
-The Heretical and Low Orders have the strongest presence within the MoC. The Military Orders also have many members within the gang as well.
-It goes without saying that a group of Adepts with criminal backgrounds don't get along with the Ruling Orders. The Ruling Orders see the MoC as disruptive and the MoC sees the Ruling Orders as intrusive and hypocritical.
-The MoC, at its best, is all about identity, community and brotherhood. Unfortunately, it suffers heavily from graft and corruption. In practice, members of the MoC are really just looking out for themselves and backstabbing and assassination is quite common within the Chapter proper.
