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. Their sworn enemy is the Lux Veritatis.

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 the present, 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.

It is not known how old the organization is. French businessman 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.

During the murders in Paris and Prague, The Cabal blames the crimes on the Mafia organizations, using them as a front to distract attention from their real activities. People too inquisitive about Cabal business easily vanish without a trace, 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.
