PROELIUM is a highly secretive organization, made up of several of the world’s most important and influential powers. This includes members of royalty, scientists, and military personnel. The organization was formed with the purpose of controlling all actions taken by the countries of the planet, managing those in power, all in absolute discretion.
For the general population, the existence of PROELIUM is unknown, but those select members of this organization are strictly forbidden from speaking about it or even hinting at its existence. All members are monitored at all times and have headquarters in various research and development laboratories around the world.
The power PROELIUM wields over the population is such that, if they wish, they can freely choose who will lead a country or directly influence currency changes to favor a nation.
HISTORY
Known Description
PROELIUM has existed on the planet as long as modern civilization itself. Its indirect influence over other countries makes wars less frequent, ensuring prolonged periods of peace.
Direct intervention by PROELIUM is rarely seen, and even when it occurs, all records of their involvement are erased by PROELIUM personnel.
The organization is one of the main benefactors of major cities, ensuring the availability of medicine, security, and cutting-edge technology. Countries where PROELIUM has no presence—typically self-declared independent nations—do not benefit from the organization.
Despite working for the good of the planet, PROELIUM is indifferent to human treatment when it comes to achieving progress, going as far as erasing entire villages or abducting people if necessary.
Crimson Crest incident
When Dr. Amari Saied reported the existence of a mysterious disease to PROELIUM, it was not initially taken very seriously. However, according to organizational protocol, any call requiring PROELIUM personnel assistance cannot be ignored, which led a small team of medical staff to move to Urusarus Mountain.
There, PROELIUM discovered Xankus and did everything possible to cover up its existence and study the organism in detail. An underground laboratory was built by PROELIUM within the mountain, and to prevent any incidents, PROELIUM killed and abducted the nearby village of Armasa to provide a new home for what remained of the Silver Point Tribe.
Much later, PROELIUM began abducting tourists visiting the mountain to use them as test subjects. These disappearances continued until an accident inside the laboratory caused a sample of Xankus to be released.
Seeing the risk posed by Xankus, PROELIUM decided to bury it along with all evidence of its existence, sealing all doors and access points of the underground laboratory. However, a faction within PROELIUM worked secretly to rescue all research and the Xankus specimen, seeing great potential in it if its negative effects on humans could be avoided.
With the risk of drawing the attention of nearby authorities and the organization itself, this group continued to kidnap people and send them to the infested laboratory to study the behavior of the infected and recover the original specimen.
