Dark Dagger

The **Dark Dagger** was a human supremacist cult started by Vlykes Gladkov, the father of Vladimir Gladkov. However, the cult was later disbanded after Vlyke's death.

## Basic Info

The Dark Dagger was a cult that strongly believed in human supremacy, which is the belief that humans are the most superior race. The cult would often target people that aren't human such as Anthropomorphics and committed crimes like vandalism and arson. Some members had even resorted to murder. Despite all the horrible things the cult had done it has never been officially shut down by law enforcement because they couldn't figure out who is the mastermind behind the Dark Dagger. All the cult members that were arrested and offered plea deals or even tortured wouldn't say who the leader was, so law enforcement never found out.

## History

The Dark Dagger cult was created by Vlykes Gladkov, a man that strongly believed in human supremacy. However, it was originally intended to be a protest group towards giving Anthropomorphics and Xenos the same rights as humans. The group had begun protesting years prior to committing crimes, but when law enforcement didn't take the protests into any account, the group felt very forced to act out.

Vlykes decided to send out a party of his members to set fire to the home of an Anthropomorphic, and all members were in favor. After the crime was committed, more followed. It was fire after fire, and eventually some of the members started to murder and rape. One of the most notable of their slayings were the Takahashis, a rich Anthropomorphic family that Vlykes targeted. He had sent out some of his men to complete the job of murder and was thrilled that they left the daughter, Rosefeather Takahashi, alive in trauma.

Then Vlykes found out about another Anthropomorphic family one day, the Silvanos. He broke into their home himself with his son, Viktor Gladkov, and robbed the family as well as murdering them. But before they were able to finish the job by shooting the family's daughter, Laikia Silvano, Rosefeather came out from behind them and sliced off the head of Viktor. In a panic, Vlykes was able to flee the scene as his other accomplice was being killed, and lied to his own daughter, Viktoriya that Viktor had died in a car accident.

Afterwards the incident was described as "another Dark Dagger slaying" and this caught the attention of lots of potential recruits. One of them, Sorai Skorviski, arrived to the cult's secret base after stalking one of their followers and told them that she wished to join. Vlykes was hesitant at first, and didn't even show her his true identity, but Sorai was able to prove her loyalty by creating the Frostcopter. Later more members joined the cult, including Matsuri Misaka, a lonely homeless girl that didn't have anywhere to go, and Smithers. Smithers wasn't necessarily a human supremacist, but he desperately needed the money and mostly aided in ransacking homes.

After years, Smithers eventually left as he told them that he wanted to spend more time in his current gang, the Flameriders. Sorai eventually left but returned a few months later, explaining that she was stalking Smithers to make sure he didn't reveal that Vlykes was the leader. Shortly afterwards Viktoriya left, since Sorai had revealed to her how Viktor really died. Matsuri never left until she found out that the Dark Dagger was the cult behind the death of Rosefeather's parents.
