Mark of Cain (Holy Names)

== Order of Exiled: ==
These Adepts are said to be of great power, but no one really knows for sure... Every time someone meets a member of this Order, they soon forget about it, or most of it, soon afterwards. Attempts to capture pictures or video recordings of members of this Order always result in failed electronics. Supernatural attempts to locate or document them always fail as well.
People who have encountered the Order of the Exiled say they remember the Exile displaying feelings of loneliness and alienation with all others... They believe the Exiled are forbidden to be with other Adepts and God placed on them a powerful blessing/curse that causes everyone to forget them almost immediately. Even agents of the Darkness seem dumbfounded when asked about them.
Status: Lost Order 
Storytellers should be leery of having players use an Exile Adept in their game. The player's characters will probably have to suffer amnesia repeatedly (unless the Exile works in the background, his presence unknown to the player's characters). 
=== Facts: ===
-It's hard to have facts on an Order of Adepts whose signature power is the mystical erasure of all facts about the Order. 
-There are only a few members of this Order, at most two or three hundred (if that). 
-Exiles will often show up, announce that they are members of a Lost Order, help the other Adepts with the current situation, and then leave. Soon afterwards, most Adepts won't even remember them, and those that remember some vague images will struggle to recall even basic facts.
-Those who speak of the Exiled say they are connected to the Biblical Cain. The Mark of Cain is upon the members of the Order, all of whom committed the most atrocious acts of brutality and evil, and in the throws of their guilt begged God for protection from their sins. Of course, that is all rank speculation.
=== Hard To Pin Down: ===
The passing of an Exiled is quickly swallowed up by their eerie power, leaving no trail, no evidence, and not even the memory of them. Often, the only way any Adepts ever even pick on the Exiled is when they notice a lack of evidence - surveillance tapes go blank, audio recording fails, or Squad members notice they all have a blank spot in their memory?
Even if they do put the pieces together, how do they keep that information in their minds?
The Exiled's unique powers cause facts about them to quickly fade from existence. However, that power does not cover negative facts or descriptions about something, that is, what it is not. Many Adepts have learned that the only way to even remember anything about the Exiled is to painstakingly list all the things they are not, since only that information will remain fixed.
