The **Brotherhood of Metallix** are a paramilitarian legion ruled by Metallix. The group is composed entirely of a robotic army resembling and under the control of Metallix himself. They are the secondary antagonists of the *Dimentio Saga* and *Sol Chronicles 3*, recurring antagonists of the *Bowser Wars Saga*, and are the main antagonists of the *Metal Virus Saga*.

## Structure

The legion are built to receive and carry out orders given to them by Metallix. This may range from simple tasks to complicated assignments. Since Metallix is in full control, it can be seen that the Brotherhood itself is an extension of Metallix's own self.

Occasionally, Metallix will place a particular "commander" Metallix amongst an army of numerous robots. Should this robot be destroyed, another within proximity is "upgraded" in rank. This is also a survival tactic Metallix also exhibits, as seen when his core computer was destroyed.

Metallix is also able to add non-Metallix robots or machinery to his ranks by infecting them with the virulent abilities gained from his Metallix.EXE form, though this requires physical connection. He can also possess robots also in his Metallix.EXE form.

The Master Unit, while members of the Brotherhood (and thus under Metallix's influence), are independent due to being extracted from The Simulation.

Though not part of Metallix's hivemind, the Zombots seem to have a mutualistic relationship with Metallix robots; they will not attempt to harm them unlike other robots, such as E-123 Omega. Consequently, this allows the Metallix robots to carry out their missions more efficiently, due to having the protection of Zombots that will attack on sight and potentially spread the Metal Virus further. Metallix claims that he can possess Zombots at will, but personally chooses not to out of interest of how the Metal Virus mutates.
