The Devil's Band

Created by Azreal, the sole surviving leader of the Palstrine Freedom Fighters, and the remnants of his close squad. After the Integration of demons into Palstrine society and the mass slavery that came with it, Azrael and his close members barely escaped Palstrine. However, once having escaped, they quickly realized they needed a new livelihood. Torii, the second-in-command suggested an assembly of a mercenary band, with Azrael in the lead. Arguing that they'll likely be hunted down for years to come, and the lifestyle they all knew was a life as a guerrilla soldier. That day, all five agreed and created The Devil's Band, paying homage to their time as a PFF Fighter. The Leaders of The Devil's Band went as: Torii, Second-In-Command, Head of Training, Levi, Head of Recruitment, Issac, Head of Supplies, David, Head of Construction, and lastly, Azrael, Commander of The Devil's Band.

## History

During its earliest days, they stumbled upon a ruin and found a library that had books on organization and tactics, detailing a highly structured and diverse unit structure. This sparked an interest in lost knowledge in Azrael and helped many early fights. Due to Torii's connection to a nearby minor nation, the Band had its first contract of 50 men strong. Asides from the original five, these other 45 men where made up of volunteers and freedmen, hired with the purpose to assassinate the head general of the opposition nation in an ambush. After the contract was completed, they were granted more men and money for their work until Band could survive on its own.

## Structure

The Devil's Band accepts all races and sexes, as well as Quintessians and nons.

### Primus Pliate

The Lowest Ranking Centurions, had little sway in making plans. However, guaranteed a good pay and connections.

### Tribuni Angusticlavii

Five of these can exist per 10 Centurions, but mostly deal with administrative tasks, highly trusted position.

### Praefectus Castrorum

The Long Time Veteran, the most trusted position in the rankings.

### Tribunus Laticlavius

An Appointed Position. Typically the Public Relations Manager.

### Misc Ranking

#### Immunes

Various specialists: engineers, translators, surgeons, craftsmen, architects, and surveyors. They were exempt from camp duties and labor duties.

## Formation

It was mandated that both nons and quintessians alike would serve in the same platoon as each other, with each sergeant having anti-aether capabilities in any form. Each platoon moves separately from the unit, unless given the order to remain as a company. They are usually made up of people who have compatibility and rarely ever change the make up of a platoon. Each centurion must be a formidable leader able to hold his own against many. Due to this, the majority of centurions and beyond this ranking is dominated by quintessians. However, their are a few nons who either have towering intellect or have a trick to fight equally with quintessians.

### Sections

#### Artillery

Fire, wind, and earth users are all highly valued in the Artillery Section. Based off of old world blueprints, Azrael adapted the mortar and the howitzer. Only reserved for siege offensives or for large scale battles.

#### Air Core

Inspired by Gal Kiba's Flight ability, Azrael quickly rushed to train wind users the ability of Flight. It is purely experimental.
