Solarii Brotherhood

The solarii Brotherhood are one of the enemy's that are encountered in Tomb Raider (2013)

Spoilers alert When Mathias arrived on the island, as his fellow survivors died trying to escape the island, he knew their was something more to the storms. As he was discovering the secrets of the island, he found that he could not do it alone, he gather a small group of loyal followers. Beleiving they must understand power and the need to organise. But more importantly, they cannot hesitate to kill or use violence, making it their Life there. This began the brotherhood of solarii, by giving them structure, purpose and work.

After explaining the truth of the island, he would offer the survivors a choice: death or salvation. Who opposed would be immediately be killed. Women would be sacrificed to the stormguard or would be used in their ceremony to find the Sun Queen successor. Mathias recruited as many as possible, choosing those who are physically strong, but not too smart, so they would fall in line and take orders. Those who questions would be killed immediately. He drafted laws and a code for them to live by. They would need to prove their commitment to the queen, making them fall in line and believe.

Matthias believed that the men would need to be strong of body, weak of will. So he lock away new recruits in the deepens part of the caven, they would then need to fend for themselves for days, sometimes weeks. Those who made it where welcome back with open arms into the brotherhood. This would destroy their humanity to make them in turn, inhumane.

The Solarii built a city near the Queen's palace while Mathias searched for the key to unlocking her power and escaping the island.
