Cerberus

**“Salvation comes with a cost. Judge us not by our methods, but by what we seek to accomplish.” - The Illusive Man**

**Cerberus (Technocratic, Futurist)** is fighting everyday for the future of humanity. We are a political faction represented in the Parliament of /pol/ led by the enigmatic Illusive Man, with the goal of expanding the reach of both /pol/ and humanity.

## Mission Statement

Our ultimate goal is to bring humanity to the pinnacle of its abilities, expand its will across the galaxy. We will stand against any threat to humanity both internal and external.

Cerberus supports the principle that any methods of advancing humanity's ascension are entirely justified, including dangerous experimentation.

While these methods may seem extreme, members of Cerberus realize that the benefits far outweigh the risks.

Cerberus is Humanity's Future!

## Party History

**Origins of Cerberus**

The vision that became Cerberus came from the mind of the Illusive Man, a man who realized that while human greatness was important, the National Socialist policy of internal human warfare would weaken us and reduce our chances when faced with any extraterrestrial threats. Therefore he cast himself out on his own to form the Cerberus organization, temporarily allying with the National Socialist party.

Once it became obvious that the current NatSoc party leader Bismarck only strove to annex all other parties under one philosophical umbrella, the Illusive Man broke his alliance and risked venturing out on his own. His dedication to the cause of humanity led the Nazi now known as Kai Leng to come to his side and aid him in his battle. He also managed to negotiate the integration of the National Democrat party, led by Atlee, into his organization.
