The Brethren

The Brethren are a group of corrupted monks from Tooth and Claw.

Somewhere in 1540s, the Brethren discovered the Werewolf and decided to try to help it. They turned away from God and started to worship the wolf. They provided hosts and food for the growing Werewolf for over 300 years. In 1879, they also arranged events in order for Queen Victoria to be bitten to start The Empire of the Wolf.

The Brethren use an unknown type of martial arts for offensive purposes, though they aren't above using guns for long distances. They might also have trained the Werewolf to fear mistletoe, but it is uncertain.
