- "Death is a sacred phenomenon bestowed equally upon all things. The weak can only find balance through death, unable to stand alongside the strong. Deliver salvation to the pitiable weak. In other words, kill humans."
- —The false oracle Brothers of the Maccabee believes in.
Brothers of the Maccabee (マカベアの兄弟 Makabea no kyōdai) is the group of Crimson Denizens in Xanadu that appeared in the short story Hope from Volume SIII.
Background[]
They are a crowd of newcomer Denizens that arrived after Xanadu was created. They have believed the fallacious messages of Shaher that they must kill humans.
Organization[]
Their belief aside, they resemble Révolution - members don't have specific headquarters and also refer to each other as "Brother". Some of them hold a priest-like position, called "Prince".
Known Members[]
- "Subterranean Lurker" (潜逵の衝鋒 Senki no Shōhō) Dainn (One of the Princes)
- "Devastating Frenzy Hammer" (紊鎚毀 Bintsuiki) Charun (One of the Princes)
Trivia[]
- The name of this organization comes from the Maccabees, a historical Jewish rebel army.
- Both known members of the Brothers of the Maccabee appear to have names related to death. Dáinn seems to mean "death" in Icelandic, while Charun is the name of a figure from the Etruscan underworld.
