The Mubarak

## Background

The Mubarak (which means “blessed” or "anointed one"), is basically an organization of artificial humans that serve as illegal hitmen for the black market. According to Nathaniel Collins' statement, he claimed that most likely there's probably not a single human in the Mubarak, He then went on to further explain that the Joined Services Agency and the Mubarak are the exact opposite of each other. Whereas JSA stops the bad guys by turning them in or solve paranormal cases, the Mubarak assassinates people indiscriminately for profit because they're trained assassins. The pseudo the Mubarak cultivate make excellent hitmen because the reason why no one is able to track down a pseudo is because they don't have finger prints and other times, it makes the scene of a crime look like some freak accident. Not only that, when JSA takes mutants to their center, they do everything in their power cure them or get them to join. However when mutants are captured by the Mubarak, they're going to be turned into pseudo, for them to be used as pawns. That partly explains why some of Mubarak members have powers that rival JSA's. Whether its because these pseudo were once mutants who were unfortunately abducted by the Mubarak, or are just mere blood clones from a yet to be revealed mutant is currently unknown.

## Goals

Although the Mubarak keep their goals rather vague and abstract throughout the first novel, we learn early on in the prologue chapter that its been their top priority to prevent a certain "lich" from achieving his goal. And with the powerful construct, Nephthys as their guide, they searched desperately for the remaining four elemental crystals required to grant any wish they so desired. While they searched relentlessly for the crystals, The Mubarak also spent years acting as a society of hitmen working for the black market and even practiced bounty hunting as well. Their initial goal however, is only a lure reason for the pseudo to aid Khalid Mubarak, as he actually planned to manipulate both Nephthys and the pseudo as a means for him to acquire godlike power to adapt into a higher plane of existence strong enough to assassinate Nathaniel Collins and destroy JSA permanently.
