The Wolves (The Raider)

== The Wolves ==
"For the Wolf!" - A Wolf warrior giving a battle cry
The Wolves (Simply known as the Wolf's Army) is an elite private army of vicious mercenaries that appeared as the final antagonistic faction in the "Raider: Last Blood" series. 
They're led by Flynn Lyall and the Wolves' main goal is to accomplish his goal of taking over the entire country through brute force.
== Overview ==
The Wolves are a relatively massive and cohesive organization of mercenaries and criminals that prey upon small survivalist compounds and towns until becoming fixated on one objective. Led by Flynn Lyall, they are shown to attack with full force and with frightening ferocity and precision, making them more feared by survivors they might leave behind. What makes the army so dangerous is their vast numbers (numbered in the millions) and their military training, giving them equal (if not superior) footing to defeat the U.S. armed forces in order to accomplish their objectives. 
Each individual member of the Wolves are mostly shown to be extremely vicious and violent towards their victims, willing to do anything to accomplish their goals, committing mass genocide, domestic terrorism, and major treason. Despite their strong ambition to take over the country and their massive numbers/superior equipment, their forces were quickly decimated by the Southern Coalition, led by Jay Roberts and Luke Lyall (a former member of the Wolves) to push them back. 
Most of Flynn's army (the ones that were loyal) were wiped out while a significant portion were arrested and imprisoned by the remaining armed forces.
== Background ==
All members of the Wolves are distinguished by their makeshift tactical uniform (a black tactical shirt (with/without sleeves), dark green cargo pants, tan SDS BAE vests, beanies or patrol caps, or black balaclavas for elite soldiers). Like their namesakes, the members are seen having tattoos of a wolf head on their necks.
There are 3 ranks of the Wolves and their military arm:
* Standard: The most common rank of the Wolves. They're seen wearing the standard-issue uniform with the tattoos. The officers are seen wearing a Sam Browne belt and patrol caps.
* Elite: The second most common rank of the Wolves. They're seen wearing helmets, balaclavas, and plate carriers. The officers are seen wearing duty belts.
* Heavy Trooper: The third most common rank of the Wolves. They're seen wearing makeshift armor suits.
*Paratrooper: The 4th and last rank of the Wolves. They're seen wearing tactical jumpsuits and balaclavas.
