this group is not your average hunters. in fact, because of their skills and dangerousness, they rank up there with the original vampires, lycans, and wiccans. they are mortal and can be killed but each possess incredible weapons which protect them as if they had supernatural abilities themselves. they are known as the brethren, simply broken down into santo[saint] who are the males and redentore[redeemer] who are the females. they are the saints and redeemers of the world. when they come into the brethren, they are removed of their identities. they have no unique last names because they are children of god.
the brethren is a group originating in rome, deep underground the vatican. hundreds of years ago, priests and other religious officials formed the brethren as a way to defeat the creatures that came from the boughs of hell. the group has survived centuries and now span through six continents and hundreds of cities. there are even more than those below, so if you have an original, please let me know. only in the last twenty years or so were women introduced into the brethren, having proven to be just as pliable as men.
training takes place at the vatican for each individual. there, they are tortured and beaten into submission and put through incredible tests just to prove they can withstand being a part of the group. some don't make it out of training. others are subject to weeks of starvation or exposed to lycan attacks so they understand what pain they will endure if they don't succeed. the leaders of this group are generally masked and unknown, with only gabriel having seen their faces to interact with and report back to them. they believe the world is impure and all monsters are made from the devil. therefore, everyone needs to be exterminated, even peaceful beings.
not only are they seeking to bring down all monsters and the horsemen, but also operation ghost. they learned of the special ops group and find their world of rehabilitating supernaturals, creating harmony between mortal and monster, against the will of god.

NAME ,, dmitri santo.
AGE ,, 40.
SPECIES ,, hunter.
JOB TITLE/SKILL SET ,, foot soldier. gabriel's second hand man. goes on many scouting trips and reports back.
PERSONALITY ,, reserved, loyal, kind by nature, rough around the edges.
INFO ,, dmitri was taken in by the brethren when he was orphaned. he was found in a pool of his parents blood when he was 12, along with his sister[candice], the brethren getting there just before [insert supernatural thing here] killed him too. because of his close age to gabriel, they became fairly good friends, growing up through the brethren together. he's usually fairly quiet and reserved, even a little awkward around girls and the outside world. regardless, he's a fantastic hunter who is next in line when gabriel retires or dies...though he's not sure he wants that responsibility. because he was older than candice when he was taken into the group, he sees through them more than she does. regardless, he's always tried to take care of her to the best of his abilities.

NAME ,, wolf santo.
AGE ,, thirty-five.
SPECIES ,, halfbreed [mortal x demon]
JOB TITLE/SKILL SET ,, weaponry & tactical expert.
PERSONALITY ,, intelligent, kind, loyal, dedicated vs volatile, explosive, nasty.
INFO ,, wolf was a full demon, having been born from two demon parents[or maybe he turned himself into a demon by trading his soul]. at some point in his life, the brethren captured him and they began to exorcise him. it was a painful process but something went wrong, whether the spell was said incorrectly or death didn't quite want to claim his life yet. a part of his demon self was ripped away, making him mortal....yet a part of him also remained. when he came down from the pain of the exorcism, the brethren realized how incredibly intelligent he was, particularly when it came to tactical things and creating devices. they gave him an opportunity to stick around and he excelled at each task he was given. the problem is, his demon half sometimes kicks in, leaving him in a rage-filled state. he more or less suffers from a dr jekyll and mr hyde syndrome. when he's "normal" he creates all the advanced technology and incredible weapons for the team, with the help of ephram.
PB ,, jason momoa.
NAME ,, luther santo.
AGE ,, late 30's, early 40's.
SPECIES ,, hunter.
JOB TITLE/SKILL SET ,, foot soldier, scout. is supposed to survey and find supernatural groups as well as be the lookout.
PERSONALITY ,, tries to be the leader, confrontational, argumentative.
INFO ,, luther doesn't always play well with others. once upon a time, he was a sheriff of the town he lived in. he dedicated his entire life to protecting people and actually had a happy life. however, his entire family was killed by [insert supernatural thing here]s and he was a witness to it all. the brethren stepped in to save him, knowing he'd seen too much to live a normal life. after his training, he was turned out as part of the team but he never adjusted well. see, he's used to being in charge and now that he's taking orders from others, he's not coping well. he constantly goes off and kills things without gabriel's orders, which makes him constantly in trouble with the group. in fact, if he doesn't shape up soon, the leaders of the brethren will have to 'deal with him'.

NAME ,, seth santo.
AGE ,, 30's.SPECIES ,, hunter.JOB TITLE/SKILL SET ,, torturer.PERSONALITY ,, impulsive, immature at times, sadistic, crazy.INFO ,, how he came into the brethren is up to you. seth is the crazy motherfucker of the group. he loves the idea of violence and does it well. while he does go out and hunt things like the others, he's particularly called in when the group needs info from a creature they've cornered. he's not afraid to get his hands dirty and more often than not is able to get the info he needs by torturing for hours, days, or even weeks at a time. its all just a game for him and he has no regard for the lives of monsters. in fact, he thinks its a fun game and even has a count going of how many he's killed.PB ,, dj cotrona. open to others.

SPECIES ,,wiccanhunter.
JOB TITLE/SKILL SET ,, trainee.
PERSONALITY ,, angry, resistant, fearful.
INFO ,, crisanta was born into a family of extremely powerful wiccans. both of her parents were necromancers and unfortunately, used their powers for evil. because of this, it put her family on the brethren's radar. when they came to kill her parents, she was seventeen and terrified. they captured her with the intentions of killing her too, but she was provided an option. fight for them or die. she chose life, but often wishes she hadn't. since then, she's been forced into the lifestyle and she hates it. she is the youngest of the brethren and has difficulty going through her training, often subject to severe punishment when she disobeys. the problem is, her moral compass is extremely strong and she hates to kill innocent supernatural beings, being one herself. oh right, and there's the part about her suppressed powers. she once, too, was a powerful wiccan but the brethren branded her with an enochian sigil to ward off her magic. since then, she's merely been a mortal.

weapons
these guys are called Super Hunters for a reason - they have the weapons to defeat supernatural where regular hunters may fall short. they rely highly off of enochian symbols and secret chants from the bible, as well as protective charms their ancestors have passed down. below are the most important weapons to them for each race.
- DEMON ,, use of demon pentagram circles, which can trap demons within it. they will also inscribe these on chains, bullets, etc to trap a demon. exorcism is their main defense against demons, of which gabriel is an expert on. they use exorcism spells that have been passed down for generations. they all have this tattoo on them to protect against demon possession
as does your admin.- VAMPIRE ,, the brethren often consume dead man's blood capsules which allow their blood to be toxic if bitten by a vampire. additionally, most of them have reflective contacts they wear which will deflect compulsion, allowing them to get near a vampire to stake them.
- LYCANS ,, have anything and everything relating to wolfsbane. their bullets are made of compounded wolfsbane, coated in silver which will poison and burn a lycan all at once. Additionally, they often carry small bits of it that will burn the flesh and weaken the beast when nearbye.
- WICCANS ,, probably who they have the least skill against UNLESS they are able to brand them. their only defense at first meeting is a hex bag they carry with. it will deflect magic but only for so long. in order to handicap wiccans, the brethren hold them down and hot-brand them with an enochian sigil to suppress their magic. as this is burned into their skin, the only way to break free from it and regain powers is to burn the symbol off or cut it off the flesh.
