Haunteds

The **Haunteds** were one of the biker gangs in the city of Carpazinha, in the interior of Rio Grande do Sul, led by Rodolfo, the former friend of Brúlio Cervero. During their years of existence, they have partnered with a group of occultists, The Five Guardians.

## History

### Past

According to Brúlio, Rodolfo was violent, bloodthirsty and obsessed with the legend of the "Lunatic Doctor", which he always tried to somehow spread. When Brúlio stopped accompanying him in his exploits because of the birth of Arthur Cervero, he freaked out even more and created the Haunteds' gang.

In 2019, scientists from Project HC decided to carry out their experiments at Virgulino's house, due to the fact that it is located in a place with a thin veil, without knowing that the Haunteds also frequented that house. The next day, the Haunteds discover that the scientists were there. So, they begin to bribe the Haunteds to stay in the house, and from there they begin to live together. During these times, scientists gave a medallion with the spiral symbol to each member of the gang, causing them to be used as a source of PE, even if it doesn't come close to the Wellsprings.

At some times, the scientists asked the gang to kidnap people to use them as a source of PE, until one of these kidnappings, involving the daughter and wife of Rafael Montes; the same tries to prevent the kidnapping of his family, which ended up being stabbed by the gang. Rodolfo burns the medallion with a lighter and presses it on the civilian's forehead to see what could happen, but this does not cause any instantaneous effect on his body, just leaving a mark of the symbol on the dead man's forehead. The next day, the scientists leave Virgulino's house, leaving some guinea pigs behind.

After the doctors came, from time to time, the gang would kidnap people to force them to fight paranormal creatures like the Blood Zombies.

### The Secret in the Forest

During the 3rd episode of The Secret in the Forest, Rodolfo releases one of the Aracnasites, and as a consequence, the spider captures Thiago Fritz and uses it as a source of PE to stay bigger and more powerful. Betweem the 5th and 6th episode, the agents of Ordo Realitas, with the help of the Scoundrel Vultures, finish off almost all the gang members, including their leader Rodolfo, who had his face dismembered by punches by Arthur Cervero, that way ending the influence of the Haunteds in Carpazinha.
