The Brotherhood is an ancient and powerful secret society led by Victor Valente that appears in The Darkness II and are main antagonists of the game.
Overview[]
The Brotherhood was formed hundreds of years ago by a saint for the sole purpose of protecting the world from The Darkness. But they eventually became corrupted and now want to control The Darkness so they can rule the world and have the human race bow before them as their True God. They seem to be highly organized and well funded since most high ranking members are powerful people even outside the Brotherhood. They know a lot about Jackie Estacado and The Darkness, like his weakness to light. They are all equipped with various tools that use light as a weapon, such as flashbang grenades or flash cannons. The Brotherhood is also involved in human trafficking and other forms of organized crime. Speculated from their dialogues, they are commonly atheists with very nihilistic streaks, and some members suffer from sanity slipping
They also have gathered what appears to be pieces of Darkness energy and have implemented them into weapons and equipment.
