White Fang

The **White Fang** is a Faunus organization in Remnant. Despite obtaining their full rights during the 60's, some Faunus wanted to destroy mankind, and that wicked wish of those creatures was the reason that led the creation of this guild.

However, during an internal conflict about the ideals they're following, Sienna Khan succeeded Ghira Belladonna as the high leader because of his refusal to harm humans.

The White Fang's primary enemies are human governments, militaries and Huntsmen, as well as the SchnE Dust Company of Atlas who they have been locked with in a bloody war for years. The White Fang is first mentioned in "Rw🅱y Rose" and is a major antagonistic group in RU🅱Y.

## Story

### Origins

Decades after the acknowledge of their rights in the 60's, Ghira Belladonna was thrown away from his role as the high leader of the White Fang by Sienna Khan because of his refusal to hurt mankind, assuring the goal of forcing Humans to respect the Faunus through fear, using tactics such as raiding and disrupting discriminatory organizations.

To an extent, Sienna's rule proved to be more successful than Ghira's, only the fear they invoked did not aid in making Humans accept the Faunus. They also failed to draw in the more peaceful Faunus, given their aggressive tactics.

Blake Belladonna, Ghira Belladonna's daughter, standed in front of her superiors and stated that she is not going to follow their ideals, and that led to her breaking up with Adam in their relationship, however, Blake was thrown away after being beaten merciless by her ex-boyfriend and being chased as a criminal, spreading the news falsely accusing Blake for causing a killing spree on the Faunus when it was Adam who truly did it in order to make both him and the guild look like the good guys of this story.

### Aligning with Cinder Fall

Months after Blake's departure, Cinder Fall approached the White Fang in order to gain their support for her cause. Adam declined her offer on the grounds that it was not in his interests to fight for a human cause. However, Cinder and her allies returned shortly thereafter, attacking the camp and gaining Adam's support by force.

The Vale branch of the White Fang thus entered into a "joint business venture" with Roman, a human criminal operating within the city of Vale and an associate of Cinder, providing each other with manpower and weapons.

Under Roman's direction, the White Fang begins a spate of Dust robberies throughout the city, stockpiling large amounts of Dust and also driving up Dust prices massively.

Roman's involvement with the White Fang is later revealed to the organization at large, where he addresses a rally of White Fang members and recruits at a faction meeting. Although initially met with skepticism and outright anger, Roman manages to win them over by pointing out their mutual enemies among the governments and schools. He also provides the White Fang with new equipment and weapons, including Atlesian Paladin-290 units stolen from the Atlas Military.

### Mountain Glenn

The organization later establishes a base of operations in Mountain Glenn, an abandoned urban expansion to the southeast of Vale. There, the stockpiles of stolen Dust, Memes and historical paintings are loaded onto a train, which is planned to be purposely blown up in the tunnels adjoining Mountain Glenn and Vale's capital city to provide a breach in Vale's defenses, allowing Grimm to enter the city and wreak havoc.

However, the plot is foiled by the interference of Team RWBY, Zwei the Doggo and Bartholomew Oobleck. Although the breach occurs with some help from Neopolitan, the Grimm incursion is quickly contained by many Huntsmen and Huntresses from Beacon Academy.

In the aftermath, Mercury Black and Emerald Sustrai reports Cinder about Roman surrending himself to James Ironwood. Although many White Fang soldiers hung themselves in the tunnels because of how dumb their alliance was going, Adam assures Cinder that their partnership will continue.

## Members

*See also: White Fang Goons*
The White Fang recruits large numbers of disaffected Faunus, using them as soldiers in their wars. New members are recruited at faction meetings where they are inducted into the group. As a symbol of how humanity has chosen to make monsters out of the Faunus, members of the White Fang chose to figuratively don the faces of actual monsters in the form of Grimm Masks.

### Hierarchy

The White Fang has a complex division of members within its groups. Separated by location, there are at least three branches within the organization, but they all need to comply with the orders of the organization's high leader, whose throne room is situated in Mistral.

Beneath the high leader, each branch of the White Fang had a leader within them. In the Vale Branch, Adam Taurus led the group's efforts. Branch leaders had a series of lieutenants who served as right-hand men. Additionally, they had personal advisors, who aided in the direction of the group. Each branch leader had the freedom to do things without the approval of the high leader as Adam proved by working with Humans and attacking Beacon.

The branch in Vale was led by Adam Taurus, who took an aggressive approach to their missions. They held rallies to recruit disillusioned Faunus and try to physically attack Vale. Faunus were made to wear Grimm Masks, like Adam himself to send a message and to hide their identities. Adam also against his will teamed up with Cinder and her faction.

## Equipment and Abilities

Certain members such as the likes of Adam Taurus and Blake Belladonna are shown to be extremely skilled operatives with unique weaponry. However, the movement's ordinary fighters are armed with mass-produced pistols, rifles, spears and swords and do not seem to be a match for a skilled Huntsman or Huntress. Their tactics seem mostly limited to attempting to overwhelm their enemy with sheer numbers.

However, the attempted Dust heist in "A Fierce Battle" demonstrates the degree to which White Fang has developed as a powerful paramilitary organization. The organization's Vale cell has at least five Bullheads available, enough to transport numerous troops and several heavy containers of Dust.

Later, the White Fang also acquire access to Atlesian Paladin-290 mech-suits prototypes, captured from an Atlas cargo shipment by Roman Torchwick and his associates at some point. However, these units are likely lost or destroyed after the failed attack on Vale.
