Hunter

Hunter society can be divided into three tiers of organization - cells, compacts, and conspiracies.

Cells
Cells are the basic unit of hunter society, typically a small group of people who defend their neighborhood or community. There may be a number of cells operating in a city at any time.

Compacts
Compacts are the next tier up from cells. Their numbers are generally larger as they are usually comprised of multiple cells of which their combined membership can range from a just a dozen or so to being well into the hundreds. They almost always have access to more resources which tend to be of higher-quality and sometimes assets such as safe houses, vehicles and specialist equipment which can be potentially shared by the compact as a whole. Their scale of operations and geographical reach can range local neighborhoods to whole cities, with the biggest compacts covering entire regions.

Example compacts include:

The Ashwood Abbey - In the tradition of the Hellfire Club, members of the Abbey desire to experience all that life, and unlife, have to offer - including the supernatural. The Long Night- A Christian group who attempt to bring on Armageddon by battling the forces of evil. The Loyalists of Thule - Occultists who seek knowledge of the supernatural in places few others dare to tread. Network Zero - A compact who try to publicize the existence of monsters through radio, TV and the Internet. Null Mysteriis - Scientific investigators of the supernatural. The Union - Working-class hunters who trace their heritage back to the labor movements of the 20th century.

Conspiracies
Conspiracies are the final tier of hunter society. They typically have formidable resources at their disposal, are usually self-sufficient, and have considerable experience with the supernatural. Their reach can extend across the planet.

Example conspiracies include:

Aegis Kai Doru - An ancient conspiracy that seeks out the legendary artifacts of history for use against the supernatural. Ascending Ones - Drawing on the legacies of Islam and ancient Egypt, this conspiracy looks to clean out some of the monstrous aberrations that haunt the world. The Cheiron Group - A group of corporations who have involved themselves in the supernatural, bringing considerable wealth and power with them. The Lucifuge - Descendants of a fallen angel who seek redemption through the destruction of true evil. Malleus Maleficarum - A conspiracy in the Catholic Church active since the Middle Ages. Task Force: VALKYRIE - A covert government group who recruit members from all branches of the military.
