Apophis

Apophis is a Horde organization dedicated to espionage and terrorism, as well as surveillance of the Horde's interests. They typically work in unison with groups such as the Shattered Hand and the Deathstalkers, and rely on a public front as a special forces organization.

Background
WIP

Structure
Apophis has three dominant branches, dedicated to fields of combat, espionage, and logistics. Members are given ranks according to these branches.

The Oculus
Role: Effectively the overseer of Apophis, and serves as grand puppet master to their schemes, pulling the strings of every member of the organisation. She formulates plans, gives orders, and makes sure no one steps out of line.

Current Occupant: Valythra Solflame

Battleworn
Role: The shock troopers and other non-stealthy members of Apophis who have proven themselves time and again are often sent into tough situations with little hope of survival, and yet come out on top.

Current Occupant(s): Vi'ralgor Alleyways

Fist
Role: The soldiers of the group, they are the bulwarks that take on the more direct work to be found within Apophis, and often act as support when the sneakier side goes wrong.

Current Occupant(s): Alonso FitzPartiger, Kyla'mir Crystalblade

The Nexus
Role: The logistical head within Apophis, dealing with all behind the scenes issues concerning supplies and paperwork. She's also responsible for the technology collected, developed and used by the organisation. Her seniority means she often also takes charge of briefings.

Current Occupant: Estelle Bloodtalon

Stem
Role: These men and women are the veterans of the group who specialize in support roles, such as medics, engineers and researchers. Though similar in function to the Spine, the Stem carries greater skill and responsibility.

Current Occupant(s): Evireaux Seldrill

Spine
Role: Consists of medics, researchers and engineers, those who are more of a support role than a front liner, or a sneaky stealth type.

Current Occupant(s): Maverick

The Cloak
Role: In charge of espionage and the collection of information, often leading operations involving spying in enemy lands, performing assassinations. The Cloak has often served as a representative to important meetings to gather pertinent information.

Current Occupant: None

Shrouded
Role: Senior agents within Apophis and act as the intelligence network for the group, they are also the ones who lead the agents into missions involving infiltration and assassination and also dealing with terrorist plots.

Current Occupant(s): None

Agent
Role: The rank and file of the sneakier side of Apophis and often those who are deployed within other groups, and sometimes other factions, they are also often used in assassination attempts.

Current Occupant(s): Ciarainn Duskheart

What We Offer
Apophis provides a Horde-loyal guild that is geared towards topics of infiltration, spy work, and possible acts of assassination and terrorism. We're less likely to do a lot of the front-line fighting on a battlefield and more likely to be behind the scenes. We accept all races and classes that may wish to join. Apophis tends to be of a darker persuasion and is liable to do less than moral things that the public Horde would likely never condone. Characters with a strong moral compass are certainly allowed, but beware that they may not mesh well.

We can likely expect some kind of Saurfang vs Sylvanas choice down the line. It is not yet certain where Apophis stands on that matter, we will likely burn that bridge when we get to it. Right now, Apophis is loyal to the Horde's interests, which means being loyal to the Warchief. Ergo, current loyalty is to Sylvanas.
