Virus Council

Leader(s): Unknown

The Virus council is a faction that resides in the Mist just like the Order of the Exiles. These people were all once Slayers in the various guilds holding various ranks however they were kicked out and stripped of their previous rank and given the rank of Adamantium Slayers. There are many reasons why Slayers are the rank of Adamantium one of the main causes though is that they have lost their minds due to various reasons: A stressful contract, attempting to obtain power form various entities, attempting to evolve and perfect there Slayers arts. However these Adamantium Slayers get a different name known as Mad Slayers and only some of them are associated with the Virus Council for unknown reasons. Those apart of the Virus Council are sane individuals for the most part that have committed various crimes, done forbidden rituals, spoke in a forbidden language, cursed, or had dark solutions to solve the current problem.

These Slayers believe that they were wronged by the various Slayers guilds and seek to destroy them all. They hold grudges against many other Slayers and seek to ruin the lives of those that have wronged them. They often sneak into Slaying parties and take pleasure in betraying them much like the way they were betrayed by the guilds. The Virus Council was formed to protect other Adamantium Slayer from being hunted down by the guilds. It is not known whether the group has a leader or not but it is known that these Adamantium Slayers work in pairs and use odd magic and techniques that they didn't use nor have back when they were Slayers. There are few cases that these Adamantium Slayers operate with three people. The first case is to find new Adamantium Slayers and bring them back to The Mist. The second case is that they are escorting an ally through the mist as these Adamantium Slayers are the only ones other than the Order of Exiles that know their way around in the mist. The last case scenario and the worst case is if they have a Mad Slayer with them. If that is the case Slayers are told by the various guilds not to pick a fight with them and to let them go and report back to the guild for further instruction. As for why exactly the Mad Slayers are with these members are uncertain however they are considered the strongest of the Adamantium Slayers especially if they possess a Slayers Art. There have been few instances where entire Slayer teams of 20 were wiped out by the members alone and that none of these members possessed a Slayers Art.

In terms of goals for the order it seems that each member has their own goals rather than one major goal entirely but this is only speculation as not much is known about their base and if they have a leader or not. There is a rumor within the various slayers guilds that all Adamantium Slayers know where other Adamantium Slayers are despite not knowing them or exchanging information on their whereabouts.
