Intergang NPCs
Intergang
Cain Mannheim
PB: Tim Paine
History: The son of Bruno Mannheim, Cain was born specifically for the purpose of being the new leader of Intergang and leader of the Religion of Crime when his father died. As such Cain was raised and indoctrinated in the Religion of Crime since birth, he is extremely cruel and a sadist. Feeling that his father had gotten weak with age and no longer willing to wait for him to die for him to be able to take over Cain killed his father using the original crime bible to bash his head in, in the most pure example of the sacred act of murder. While he does do some work for Darkseid Cain focuses more strongly about spreading the religion of crime especially in third world countries where people are more desperate while causing horror and destruction in the USA and other first world countries. He also in on a personal crusade to find the current bearer of the Mark of Cain so that he can force them to give the mark to him so that he can have all the power that comes with it and the sacred glory of possessing it.
Skills: Cain is a brilliant and sick minded person. He can be an extremely charming and charismatic figure at one moment and a cruel and utterly violent killer the next. His knowledge of torture and murder is well beyond his years having been trained in it since birth and honestly has no value of human life what so ever. His is a brilliant criminal mastermind though tends to take religious overtones in the crimes he orders to be committed. He takes a perverse pleasure in killing or perverting to his way of thinking those of great faith especially religious figures. Cain also has access to Apokolips technology which he can use and has been trained with. He is also a skilled combatant as required of him in order to maintain leadership over Intergang and can generally keep up with a very skilled fighter for a while.
Brother Styx- Gabriel Lynx
PB: Allan Hawkco
History: Gabriel is one of the closest people to Cain and was on hand when he killed his father. He has served as Cain’s right hand since they were children. Gabriel does not shared Cain’s fanatical devotion to the Religion of Crime but does see it as a useful tool. Gabriel tends to take a more traditional view to running Intergang as a criminal empire and is often the one behind these more traditional crimes that one would associate with a criminal empire.
Skills: Gabriel takes a very practical and down to earth view of running Intergang. He is much more like a traditional gangster leader in his views and methods. He is a very loyal and faithful second in command to Cain and deals with the stuff that Cain does not want to deal with or thinks they don’t need to deal with. He is a hands-on leader and likes to lead by example. He is a fairly skilled shot and a decent hand to hand fighter but with him the greatest threat comes from the fact that he rarely ever works alone and often keeps quite a few guys around him working for him. Gabriel also knows where all the groups warehouses of Apokolips technology are and can easily get access to them if he needs to to supply his men or himself if he is expecting heavy superhero involvement.
Sister Acheron- Clare Miller
PB: Amy Hixson
History: Clare’s parents where both members of a rival criminal empire that stood in Intergangs way. After Intergang destroyed that group all the survivors and their families were gathered and offered to convert to Intergang and the religion of crime or else. Clare’s parents choose or else. They were both killed horribly and eaten by Bruno and Clare would have been so herself to make an example for the others and their families had fortune not shined upon her. Her would be killer was struck by lighting and nearly killed though Clare in anger finished the job. Bruno took this as a sign and had her indoctrinated in the Religion of Crime and trained to be a master of torture. Desaad even took an interest in her training and even helped in that regard. After Cain took over Clare became his master of torture for whenever he had need or it. They have also been known to sleep together from time to time as part of the principle of Lust in the Crime Bible and do seem to enjoy each other company.
Skills: Cruel and emotionless Clare is a master of pain and torture having been taught by Desaad himself. She is even better at it than Cain is which is really saying something. In a fight Clare does not seem like much but due to her skill at torture she can very quickly and easily cause devastating damage to an unprepared opponent. That being said she prefer not to enter the battlefield unless she a absolutely has too.
Brother Lethe- Joseph Hardaway
PB: Karl Urban
History: Joseph was a young mid-level member of one of the Gotham crime families till he got busted by the Gotham police surprisingly without any help from the capes in the city. While most of the higher level and mid-level guys got off scot-free even still, Joseph was used as a sacrificial lamb to do so and was sentenced to several decades in jail. His cell mate was a member of Intergang and a follower of the Religion of Crime and introduced him to it. It made all the sense in the world to him and when some of the bigger name criminals made a big escape attempt Joseph along with his cellmate quietly sneak off as well. Joseph then joined Intergang as a devoted follower of the Crime Bible quickly raising through the ranks and becoming a preacher of his new Religion. When Cain made his rather violent take over Joseph supported him in this and got him the Crime Bible for him to use. In reward for this Cain made Joseph the head recruiter and indoctrinator in Intergang and its philosophy. Since then Joseph has been doing a lot of work in the third world countries recruiting people.
Skills: Joseph is very skilled at getting into people’s heads and picking at just the right thing to get the reaction he wants out of people or leading them down the path he wants them to go. He has also developed a talent at brainwashing people which he puts to good use for Intergang. He has some skill as fighting but typically likes to let the people he’s converted and/or brainwashed into fighting for him. He also has access to Apokolips technology if he needs it.
Brother Phlegethon- Daniel Rimbauer
PB: Jake Abel
History: Daniel was once a pious member of the church and brother of the Franciscan order, until Cain got a hold of him. Cain tortured him for weeks quoting the crime bible as he did so warping his mind till he became putty in Cain’s hands which the then worked into recreating him as Brother Phlegethon. Cain was going to just kill him after breaking Daniel’s belief in god but after finding out about his meta-human power found other uses for him. Daniel then became Cain’s chief agent of destruction.
Skills: Daniel is a high level Pyrokinetic meta-human who is all but immune to the highest of heats and hottest of flames. He is a fanatically devoted follower of the religion of crime but still has strong connections to the Catholic Church that he can use if he wants and often still likes to dress and pretend to be a Franciscan monk. Daniel since joining Intergang has since been taught to use his powers of destruction and to fight and has also learned a lot about explosives. He has since taken to training a band of devoted Intergang member to work for him and are often called in when Cain wants to take someone or something out with a bang.
Sister Cocytus
History: Sister Cocytus is a Banshee of unknown origins and even her true name is unknown. She joined up with Intergang for unknown reasons back when Bruno was in power working as an assassin for the gang and also seems surprisingly knowledgeable of the Religion of Crime and the Crime Bible. After Cain killed Bruno, Cocytus and him had a long and private talk that not even Gabriel know what it was about. But afterwards she became a completely loyal assassin to Cain and was also made by Cain the keeper and guardian of the original Crime Bible. She is not called on to do missions by Cain too often but when he does it’s typically something big and she has not failed him yet in one of these missions.
Skills: Cocytus is thought to be very old though how old exactly is unknown and has the wisdom and experience than comes with that age. Cocytus has the standard powers of a Banshee, Super Strength, Super Speed, Super Durability, Death Wail that can kill anyone she knows the true identity of, teleportation, and Longevity. Cocytus can’t be reasoned with and seems to be completely devoted to the Religion of Crime.
