"Before the days of our demise, we were promising; a clan of assassins who plunged the realm in deeper bouts of fear and anguish without revealing our names or faces. We thrived on killing for those who sought us on their own, and strived to empty Gielinor of corrupt inhabitants. We never believed we were the corrupt ones. Men and women pledged themselves to our cause, we did not make them. We broke them, fed them, and nursed them into murderers, but because they came to us, as we did not come to them. We refused soft hearts and shallow minds, finding it comforting to steal the best of society for our own. What would they have done, besides join a court, and sired generations of mouth-breathers and milk-drinkers? We made a family from bonds of common benefit, of fear and determination to become what they're ancestors could not. We were the bane of your parents, and the reason why unborn princes could not become conquerors."

- Lord Red, an excerpt from his journals.

The Caedo Brotherhood were not your common guild of assassins, but the only clan capable of doing it right. Many other guilds were formed in the past, basing themselves upon murdering for no price, selling themselves to no cause, which is why they failed to learn the true art of an assassin. When asked to kill a man, you ask for his achievements, his titles, his family tree, his biography, and you ask these things before naming a price. What's an assassination without meaning or without a price? The gold on a man's head is based on his importance to the common man, his position among his allies, and the hatred fused by his enemies. Without these factors, there is no assassination, there is only murder.

From a new world and hundreds of generations, the Caedo have finally returned.
