The Chaos Master didn’t get out much anymore, but then, he didn’t need to. As leader of the Church of Chaos, which was known on the streets as a gang called the Incisors, he had thousands of children to carry out his work in the world for him.
The children did their jobs as assigned to them by the Brothers and Sisters, recognizable by red armbands bearing the symbol of their religion—the fang. Just as their factions’ worth of children reported to them, so did they report to the Mothers and Fathers, of which there was one for each of New York City’s five boroughs. These regional sub-bosses got their instructions from the Master himself, and thus the chain, and the family, were complete.
Aside from the Mothers and Fathers, most of the gang-cult rarely saw their Master. He remained hidden in a hooded cloak, distorted in voice by an electronic scrambler, and locked up in a dark throne room in the Chaos Temple, the center of the Incisors’ power. Very few knew what this place was, and even fewer had been trusted with its location.
Running a religion was hard work, so it had made sense for the Chaos Master to delegate some of his authority, freeing him up for tactical tasks that he could just as easily complete from the temple. It didn’t matter that he was rarely seen on the streets: even from his seat, the Master exerted an amount of power so terrifyingly great that many New Yorkers preferred simply to doubt his existence.
But on one cold night in mid-November, the only thing the Chaos Master saw fit to do was read over a folder’s worth of information.

“Ex-Marine Fends Off Attacking Mountain Lion with Chainsaw.”
(I haven’t even read the article; I think it would spoil the headline).

This may be stating the obvious, but I just uploaded a handful of new and updated cast and group profiles related to the episodes in Blood and Brotherhood. I guess you could say that I’m cleaning house ahead of a more major update that will occur very, very soon (and I mean it this time!) Check out the cast page to see the new content (though, of course, be warned that there are may be spoilers in there if you haven’t read Blood and Brotherhood yet).
You’ll also notice that I added slots for the next three episodes to the cast page…consider that a preview. Or you can consider the Facebook page’s preview a preview, as full descriptions of the episodes (and even an early link to order book three) have been available to fans of School Kids SG on Facebook since last week.
