Cape Collectors

The Cape Collectors is a branch of the BPHA devoted to stopping posthuman trouble before it happens. Most people do not know about them, which gives them leeway in their operations.Abuelito There are four Collector squads: the Anubis squad, the Black Shucks, the Mercury squad and the Valkyries.  Each is named after the psychopomp that best resembles their purpose.quipquipquip: "Can we get a clarification on the divisions of the Cape Collectors?"
==Anubis==
The Anubis squad is made up entirely of purple-bands; it is the only one with a solid band type. Their name is derived from the jackal-headed Egyptian god associated with mummification and protection of the dead in their journey into the afterlife.
Among the Cape Collectors, they have a reputation as being "creepy bastards".Corona

==Black Shucks==
The Black Shucks are named for the ghostly black dog of English folklore, whose appearance is sometimes considered an omen of death. They are the tanks, usually dispatched when a vigilante needs to be dealt with.  They are prone to leaving a significant amount of property damage in their wake, so they show up on the news every once in a while.Bad Things Happen Their uniform resembles heavy riot gear, and is emblazoned with a dog skull emblem.
Among the Cape Collectors, they tend to be stereotyped as "chest-thumping, knuckle-dragging meatheads".

==Mercury==
Mercury take their name from the Roman messenger god, a patron of commerce, travelers, boundary-crossing and thieves who also conducted deceased souls to the underworld. They are the only offical, publicly-acknowledged Collector squad and commonly appear in the media - they even have their own action figures. Among the Cape Collectors, they have a reputation as divas, "flashy and incapable of modesty".

==Valkyries==
The all-female Collector squad has a reputation among heroes as a hit squad, acting as a "quick, quiet and ruthlessly efficient" emergency response to rogue posters considered too dangerous for the Black Shucks to handle.Gunsmoke This is only a small part of their MO, however. For the most part, the Valkyries attend to the cases that fall between the cracks. It is a job that requires both empathy and, in Estefania's words, "a willingness to crash cars and crush balls".
Because they are at times required to respond to heroes gone rogue with ruthless force, the Valkyries are strictly need-to-know, staying on the periphery of public knowledge. The Rook spoke highly of them, and it took a lot to impress him.
The Valkyries are a five-person team.  They wear streamlined uniforms, appropriate for a strike team that mostly rides motorcycles, and their helmets are framed with black wings.
The squad takes its name from the Norse goddesses who selected which men would be slain in battle and conducted fallen heroes to the hall of Valhalla. The team's symbol is the valknut, a knot of three interlocked triangles.
