Camaro and her commanders
Camaro was the daughter of the first King of Atlantis, the great Atlas. She also have a brother, called Albion (who we will talk about later). Together, they symbolized the solidity of the bloodline coming from the Gods.
Camaro was, at first, a very innocent and naive dragoness. She had a role as a high-priestess and keeper of the Secret of the Orichalcum. Her role was to make sure the technique to make Orichalcum was kept away from the wrong ends, as the metal as interesting proprieties that could have catastrophic results when put between the wrong hands.Some legends even made her the founder of the secret society of the House of Orichalcum. But there was no documents that survived to prove that fact. The only documents the current House possess tend to prove that it was in fact the Tribe of the Gorgon, led by Medusa, who served as the foundation for the secret society. At best, Camaro would have been one of the Grand Masters.
Of course, she met with some evil man who tried to manipulate her so he could take power for himself. She broke into the Treasure Vault and tried to take the Sword of Justice of multiple names. Its original name however was shrouded in mystery. Its most popular name was Soul Calibur.When she put her hands on the hilt of the sword, she was violently rejected by it.
Camaro got arrested by the man who manipulated her into taking the sword. This man was the Chief of the Guards who wanted to become King of Atlantis. Camaro escaped, her heart filled by hatred for Humanity.
She goes to the mountains and extracted some minerals from it. Using the secret techniques of the House of Orichalcum, she forged a new sword made of Orichalcum she then enchanted to give it the power to absorb the souls of the people it slayed.Soon the sword found itself drowning in blood and filled by souls of multiple warriors and innocent, swearing revenge. They melted together into one spirit of pure hatred, destruction and chaos called Inferno and the sword mutated, becoming deformed and grotesque, flesh-like substance covering it, with even an eye appeared on the inverted, claw-looking cross.This sword, the polar opposite of the Soul Calibur (who is a sword of piece, justice and order inhabited by a benevolent spirit called Elysium), was called Soul Edge.
Wielding the cursed sword, Camaro, now corrupted and leading an army made of the soulless tusks of the people she killed with Soul Edge, entered the palace. There, she was confronted by her brother, Albion, wielding Soul Calibur and protected by its sacred scabbard made of an unknown precious wood said to come from the Tree of Life covered in the outside of orichalcum with a green gem fell from the sky in the middle. Due to the composition of the orichalcum used in its creation and the gem, when light stroke both the scabbard and the sword, both turned sapphire blue, like it was made of a piece of heaven.
Going back to topic... The sibling fought, leading to Camaro losing Soul Edge and her disappearance alongside the island of Atlantis and the shattering of the Soul Calibur. Its pieces were collected by Albion's best friend, the one who will soon be called Merlin, and scattered around the world, to prevent anyone but the one Chosen by the Sword to collect the shards and pull the Holy Sword back together.
Camaro resurface after the fall of the Collection. She claimed back Soul Edge, regaining her powers. She summoned generals to aid her. Those generals were people who served Soul Edge and Inferno or wielded it. As such she awoke a dark German night in a sinister azure armor, a dreaded Spanish pirate who ravaged the Seven Seas, a former Eastern European dancer who served the Azure Knight and a tortured Italian soul who worshiped the cursed sword.
Camaro amassed an army of Malfested (people who's souls were taken by Soul Edge and who's bodies obeys the sword and its wielder's will) and prepared to invade Britain. She knew that a quest to reforged Soul Calibur was planned to stop her so she set to find Avalon and claim a shard of the sword for herself, fusing it with Soul Edge.
Camaro was confronted by the new Chosen of the Sword, Storm Wolffe, daughter of Fenrir. After Camaro tried to seduced her to join her side, promising to free Storm's wife, Draco (who was revealed to be a piece of Camaro's dark power entering inside of the newborn Nero... or as we currently think it is), Camaro was ultimately defeated and killed by Storm (who reforged Soul Calibur at its full power), who then confronted and destroyed Soul Edge and the spirit who inhabited it: Inferno

- The Prophecy: She is mentioned in a prophecy.
Umbrella
Before the Raccoon City T-Virus Outbreak, Wesker was tasked to infiltrated the NYP, specifically the STARS. He was behind the near wiping-out of the two STARS teams in Resident Evil 1, living only Chris Redfield, Jill Valentine, Barry Burton, Rebecca Chambers and Brad Vickers alive (although Brad died during the Raccoon City Outbreak, killed by the Nemesis. And Wesker left alive, yet infected with the T-Virus who, interacting with the Progenitor, made him the super-human Spencer wanted to create). He hired Ada Wong to get sample of the G-Virus designed by William Birkin. Wesker already defected Umbrella during the Outbreak and got hired by The Organization, a rival company of Umbrella.
Then, that's where his story differ from the main Resident Evil timeline. After the Outbreak, Wesker was seemingly captured back by Umbrella and served Oswell E. Spencer again, under the careful eye of Sergei Vladimir. The trio and Umbrella left their Universe and joined The Collection.
But, during the fall of the Collection, Umbrella acted as its own thing. The company was listed as the most dangerous terrorist organization. The company was later involved in a battle in Egypt, where they tried to steal treasures in the ruins of the Temple of Hathor in Mount Horeb and, later, the thievery of the Lycurgus Cup in the British Museum.
Albert Wesker is a cold, ruthless and calculating man. He do not care about anyone else but himself. He shares the same goal as Spencer: creating a world where a specie of super-human rules over all Humanity, making everyone their slaves. And he wants to rule it as a God.
This means that Wesker is planning to backstab the old man. Especially now that Sergei Vladimir is dead. Spencer is isolated and weak. The perfect opportunity to strike. But he waits for the perfect opportunity.
Albert have also no trust in this curious cult, the Genesys Sect, which Umbrella allied with. He do not care about the Ark of the Covenant. However, the Philosophers' Stone does interest him. It might be the key to his goals.
Wesker is, for now, loyal to Umbrella. The company serves his interest but he will abandon it when it will serve no purpose in his plans. He already made other alliances with people that share the same ideals than him but will not lost themselves in romantic quests.
Wesker is also trying to infiltrate the Sanctuary, as it is the institution who possess the most knowledge about the Philosophers' Stone and are pretty advanced in the research about the substance. He also know that Flamel had his memories restored. He is the man who knows basically everything about it. He made plans to kidnap the King of Alchemy and get all the answers he seeks.
Soon, he will become the God he is meant to be.
The Genesis Sect
India
- Expy: A young Indian girl, whose entire family was exterminated by the successive Yuga Cycles created by God Arjuna and who serves as an indian ally to the main organization of the work, doesn't that remind us of anything ? It's normal, she's based on Asha from Fate/Grand Order.
- Meaningful Name: Her name is Saphed, which means White in Hindi. Rightly so, because she is truly kind and the fact that she has survived the yuga cycles that have taken place so far means that she meets the extremely strict criteria of God Arjuna's selection, which are said to be met only by the saints and innocent children.
- You Remind Me of X: Enkidu made a contract with Saphed because she reminded they of Shamhat. They are quite protective of her for that.
Agrippina the Younger's Faction
Afton and his group
Baalberith's faction
Baalberith is the incarnation of what a demon is in the popular mind. She is cruel, ruthless, unforgiving, manipulative, cold and blood-thirsty. She is the first of the demons, the incarnation of the concept of demons. Her existence is so tied to them that she will forever exist whenever there's still demons alive in any parts of the Multiverse.
More than that, Baalberith is considered as the physical embodiment of the concept of Evil. She is not just a demon, she is a primordial being, who's existence cannot end no matter what. But she can be severely weakened.
She was the cause of Beelzebub rebellion against Lucifer and... she also was the one responsible for Lucifer's obsession with the Emerald of Heaven, the Sappir. She was the cause behind Lucifer's fall. Baalberith manipulated Lucifer into becoming the Queen of Hell and uses her to gain immense power.
She was so powerful and destructive that Lucifer, Lilith and Justice had to imprison her in a Cold Iron prison sapping her powers away. Lucifer knew that Baalberith was manipulating her and tried to get access to the power of the Sappir Tablet Lucifer wrote.
Part of Baalberith's essence escaped Hell. But part of her power stayed imprisoned in Hell.This piece of her tries to escape and join the rest of her, to become complete again. To that effort, she done two things:
1. Summoned Agrippina the Younger back to existence as a Servant
2. Manipulating a young man into creating a cult for create a new world free of suffering, illnesses, war and death. Because the destruction of the current world would free her. This cult is the powerful Genesis Sect, that have yet to cross paths with the Sanctuary
Baalberith is not to be underestimated. She is intelligent and cunning and planned nearly everything...Except the fact that she have summoned someone that is nearly her equal in evilness and intelligence... Someone ready to back-stab her given the occasion.
Inferno used many people to advanced his schemes: Camaro, Cervantes de Leon and Siegfried Schtauffen/Nightmare. His relationship with the first is strange. Inferno was able to manifest itself thanks to Camaro forging Gram and using it for nefarious purpose. There is a true symbiotic relationship between Camaro and him.
Inferno is a sadistic, cold, ruthless and manipulative creature. It won't stop to anything to get what it want. Inferno will try to make people do what it want by various means. But it always involved reading its future puppet's mind and see what they desire the most. By offering them a way to get it, the victim will most often agrees to the partnership.Unfortunately, Inferno will force its victim to do forsaken acts in exchange for the ultimate prize. Inferno will absorb the soul of the wielder of Gram and make him a bloodthirsty monster.
Inferno is a dangerous dark entity. It must not be taken lightly.
Inferno is Storm's greatest foe. It is a deceitful and manipulative creature, while Storm is a paragon of Truth and Justice. We thought that Storm defeated and destroyed it in the ruins of Camelot. But Inferno survived. A shard of the Cursed Sword is still intact somewhere, waiting to be restored to full power. And it appears it is in the hands of Baalberith. Both Inferno and her made an alliance and are plotting a civil war in Hell.
Inferno is probably one of the most dangerous enemies of the Sanctuary. It must be found and destroyed at all costs.
