Eli Drake “Latch”

CRACKERJACK. Rival Bears captain — wary battlefield ally to Latch's squad.

CRACKERJACK. Monitor Central Deputy Director who wants the weapon, not its capture.

CRACKERJACK. Unaffiliated bioweapon architect behind 'the Choir' — the reason Latch's pack died.

The Brotherhood of Shadows isn't just world-building texture — it's UNEARTH's Dr. Amara Kess's own faction (which she betrays), it runs Cutthroat as a deep-cover asset in Dark Cell, and its Scholar Wing is name-checked in the setting guide as the only archive that predates BAFO. One quiet organization, load-bearing in three separate stories.
