The Judas Society began in England as a social Society for the social elite and wealthy in the 1760's. At some point, a handful of the most powerful members emigrated to the American colonies and began a branch in New York City and other major cities around the world. The Society has branches in Boston, Hong Kong, London, Los Angeles, New York, Paris, Philadelphia and San Francisco.
The purpose of the Judas Society is to obtain and exert power through politics and economic influence instead of outward conquest and domination. Since its foundation, the Judas Society had been involved in wars and assassinations as long as these helped further the agendas of the Society's most prominent members. The Judas Society membership is hereditary, but can also be earned through wealth or influence. Among the Сlub members there are many famous and influential members of society, the wealthiest and most powerful businessmen of the world. While many accept the invitation to join a Сlub just for the pleasures that he offered, many others looking for ways to obtain more wealth and influence. The constant intrigue, backstabbing, blackmailing and politicking that plague the Judas Society result in many changes of ruling body, as new players sought out membership in order to obtain influence, power and wealth. Although the hierarchy of the ruling body would go through constant upheaval due to the competing egos and political motives of its members, it continues to exist in the same basic structure today.
Since its foundation, the Judas Society has been involved in wars and assassinations to further the agendas of the Society's most powerful members. The Society has branches in New York City, Paris, Hong Kong and London; the various branches are all overseen by the Lord Viscount. The Judas Society adheres to an 18th-century dress code. The Judas Society also employs a number of servants, escorts and strippers.

Joseph became a biologist in 1841. He was a contemporary of Charles Darwin and became obsessed with Darwin's theories. However, Joseph believed his peers were shackled by too many moral constraints and that their research should be beyond morality. He believed that humanity was undergoing increasing mutation in the human genome. He dreamed of bringing the perfection of the evolution of the human race to the masses. After the loss of his young son due to birth defects, he delved deeper into his work. Joseph's theories were mocked, making him bitter, and his revealing of an unorthodox experiment resulted in his ousting from the Royal Society. Angry, he kidnapped homeless and neglected people off the streets of London and used them as test subjects for his experiments. Combining his human and plant experiments, Joseph found a way of extending his own lifespan. He has made his fortune through his pharmaceutical company and continues his experiments to this day. |

Biography | ||||
Tristram was
born into an extremely wealthy family and lived for much of his early life
in a mansion near London. At the age of either eighteen his allowance was cut off by his father, who declared that he
did not deserve it. In retaliation, Tristram murdered him, thus inheriting
all of the man's vast estate.
Now independently wealthy and free to do as he pleased, Tristram became a
freelance assassin, travelling across the world, killing people in rather
mundane fashions, and amassing even more wealth than he already had. He
quickly grew bored with doing business as an ordinary hired killer and
resolved to find a way to continue his work in a manner more suited to his
sensibilities. Discovering an aptitude for technology, Tristram designed and built his first Murderpark, a subterranean evil lair disguised as a very deadly amusement park. From this base, and with the help of two mysterious assistants he reemerged as the world's most expensive hitman. For the price of $1 million (actually a token sum, since he doesn't need the money and, in any case, never turns a profit), he will tailor his Murderpark to exploit the specific weaknesses of his target and then watch, with unconcealed glee, as they are killed by the variety of colourful deathtraps strewn throughout the facility. However, one of his "gimmicks" is that he always deliberately leaves each target a small chance of survival, for the sport of it. |
