The group was founded by Brick after escaping from Hyperion prison, as he was captured during Hyperion's attack on New Haven. Kicked out of the Crimson Raiders and Sanctuary for the murder of Hyperion informant Shep Sanders and angry at Hyperion for classifying him as a bandit, Brick decided to become one to avenge the death of his dog. To enter the group, one must "run the gauntlet" and make their way to the Slab King's chamber at the top of the facility, fighting their way through the bandits.
