**The Brown Cobras** (Half is the Edge Cartel) is a major antagonistic faction in the Original timeline and a minor, but formerly antagonistic faction in the Reboot timeline and its spinoffs.

Led by Edgar Edge, the Brown Cobras are a large band of French pirates, known for seizing cargo that crossed their seas and selling it to the highest bidder.

## History

While it's never known, but the Brown Cobras was founded by Allen Edge by hiring local lowlifes, mercenaries, and petty thieves in bars and gave Edgar the group to lead. Under Edgar's command, the group began to raid cruise ships, freighters, and even luxury yachts and gave them to Allen in order to make profits.

They also began to rob and kill indiscriminately without any hesitation. They quickly become what's now known as the Brown Cobras.

## Background

All members of the group are seen wearing cargo shorts, jeans, tank tops, and jackets to be better able to handle the harshest conditions of the sea. The notable features are their brown armbands or sashes and their signature cobra tattoos.

Edgar's group of pirates is one of the most dangerous Pirate gangs for three reasons. One is that they have a central leader who can plan, organize, and lead hijacks, enabling them to target bigger ships and pull off more daring heists. The other is their access to military-grade munitions and ceramic body armor, which allow them to take down bigger ships and sustain more damage. The final factor is their fixed home base and access to a mobile base (a cruise ship called *The Lovely Sealady*). This allows them to have a 'mothership' boat (which sends out smaller ships to hijack) and a fixed home base to sort through their stolen goods, repair their ships, and keep their equipment in working order.
