The Saints

The Saints are the council of twelve individuals that serve as the leading body of the international military organization Phoebus, and are considered its most powerful warriors. They are the descendants of the original twelve Saints, who founded the organization after defeating the Deities.

History:
The robotic weapons known as the Deities, created to replace humans in war, began slaughtering humans indiscriminately due to a programming mistake. The surviving humans of the time period were forced to pool their resources to create a weapon that could stop these killing machines.

What they produced was the Visor. A suit of armor that gave its wearer unbelievable strength, agility and destructive power. With such high stakes and little time, only twelve visors were produced. Twelve warriors were chosen to use them, and even to their surprise, the Deities were all destroyed or forced into shutdown in merely nine days.

This overwhelming victory elevated the twelve warriors to the status of heroes, and such they were dubbed the "Twelve Saints". Because of this, the Saints and their allies were influential in the reorganization of the West into four new countries: Prometha, Zepha, Glauca and Ceresa. By 11 A.J., the Saints and their followers had established the international military organization Phoebus, headquartered in the new international capital, Solica.

Organization:
The Saints consist of twelve warriors from the families of each original Saint. They are considered Phoebus' most powerful fighters, and as such, are the governing body of the organization.
