**Group exposure:** *Underground Society*

**General goal:** *The Black Rose Brotherhood was once an ancient order of ruthless cut-throats and murderers. However, all traces of the original order were destroyed and stricken from Vortua’s history books… or so it was believed. In this new age, a group of Humes have assumed the mantle of the Black Rose Brotherhood. Relics of the old order have resurfaced and brought about a marvelous reincarnation. Though impressive, the current organization is nowhere near the span of the original Brotherhood, and so the Black Roses seek to expand and bring about a second coming of terror upon Vortua as its deadliest stalkers of the night and reclaim the last few remnants of their predecessors. Of course, there is also a great profit to be made. Everyone has enemies.*
