A Brief History (From Coalition Files):
======================================

Seven years ago a team of people from the Coalition, Federation of Magic, and The Unclaimed were brought together to investigate the Xiticix threat. Among their numbers were:

Aidan Vale the Line Walker (Deceased)...
Aoife the Scholar (Unknown)...
Atilla the Juicer (Deceased)...
Calvin Hodgekins the Military Specialist (Deceased; Clones Destroyed)...
Drew Riteman the Military Specialist (Deceased)...
Fergus Lockhart the Military Specialist (Deceased)...
Quirius Markus the Line Walker (Deceased)...
Roger Salingdid the Wilderness Scout (Unknown)...
Rüne the Keeper of the Old Knowledge (Unknown)...
and Felix Dane the Mystic (Confirmed Alive).

During their investigations, they stumbled across a secret, illegal Coalition black-ops cloning project, which had Calvin Hodgekins as one of the subjects. They also discovered a lost people group which included Rüne, but sadly most of the members were killed during their escape from the base which sat above their home. The black-ops cloning project was officially closed down after the deaths of the Calvin clones, but there are unconfirmed reports that illegal research is still ongoing in other locations.

After the events of the original Operation, most members of the team were confirmed as deceased with the exceptions of Aoife, Roger, and Rüne. It is these three who are believed to be behind the rebel group within the Xiticix territory, but no direct evidence has surfaced to confirm it (none could for Rüne, of course, as he does not officially exist and was over 82 when discovered at his home). Recent events, the #CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION# have shown that Felix Dane did not perish as first believed, but has since been #CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION# He is believed to be EXTREMELY unstable and dangerous, but #CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION CLASSIFIED BY THE COALITION# and may be needed in the future.
