The Cabal (Original Timeline)


 * For The Cabal in other continuities, see The Cabal disambiguation page.

The Cabal is a group lead by Pieter Van Eckhardt and Joachim Karel. Lux Veritatis is opposing the Cabal's plans.

History
The Cabal was a powerful alliance of five alchemists and sorcerers in the 14th and 15th centuries. Eckhards is said to have betrayed and murdered almost all of them to control their secrets. Lux Veritatis has battled the Cabal constantly, even after the disappearance of the Black Alchemist Eckhardt in 1445.

In our time, Eckhardt is protected by the Cabal, who are based in Prague. They're said to be almost as dangerous as Eckhardt himself and at least as insane.

No one knows how old they really are. Louis Bouchard claims he has seen records suggesting they were active during the Second World War, which was of course an understatement, since they go back much further than that.

The Cabal uses the Mafia front to distract attention from their real activities, but they're far more dangerous and powerful. Anyone too inquisitive about Cabal business simply disappears, as per the case of Werner Von Croy and Mathias Vasiley,  whose faxes to one another the Cabal had intercepted.

The Cabal built their stronghold in the Strahov in Prague because they believed that the fifth Obscura Painting was hidden underneath it in the Vault of Trophies.
