At first, **Vulture** (Leet speak: **VU17Ur3**) was thought to be a singular entity. However, events in 2022 revealed that Vulture was not a singular group, but an entire organized syndicate of cyber-warriors and activists, with groups all over the world.

## History

The exact origins of Vulture are unknown. For a long time, it was believed that Vulture was the name of a singular entity working alone to commit acts of cyber-warfare and cyber-terrorism across the globe. Everything changed on May 2, 2022, which indicated that Vulture was not a single person after all, but an entire group of people across the globe dedicated to fighting injustice through cyber-activism.

## Overview

Vulture is a notorious hacking collective that operates in cities all around the world, opposed to various forms of injustice such as critical race theory, the promotion of anything related to Socialism or Communism, eugenics, abortion, gun control, etc.

Vulture is considered one of the biggest hacktivist groups in the world, second only to Anonymous. It seeks to wage war against injustices worldwide by using cyberwarfare to combat corruption and expose dirty secrets of various organizations in a "war for truth."

According to audio logs and journal entries, Vulture members are never referred to by their real names online, and instead go by codenames.

VU17Ur3 seeks to accumulate followers and grow their ranks through acts of cyber-warfare that expose corrupt deeds to the public and bring the truth behind various global events to the people.

## Chapters

Each chapter of Vulture is given a different name. The reason for this is unknown but it is speculated that the purpose of this naming scheme is to confuse the authorities and to make Vulture appear far bigger than it is.

* US Branch (Dead Section).
* Spanish Branch (Los Socavadores)
* Russian Branch (Voron)
* British Branch (Blackjack)
* Italian Branch (Cordis die)
* French Branch (Coeur noir)
* German branch (Schwarze Zelle)
* Turkish branch (Karadul)
