Other Factions

No one actually calls them “technephandi,” of course, but the Fallen members of the Technocracy (plus a few barabbi Adepts, Etherites, and other technomancers) use Awakened hypertech for appalling ends. Imagine the corrupted cyborg, demonic hacker, or demented space marine. Consider a mad scientist whose lab sits ankle-deep in blood while mutilated subjects scream their lives out in barbed wire cages. Envision the Syndicate boss who knows damn well that his latest round of layoffs will result in suicides, abused kids, and rising crime rates… and so he lays folks off just to make that happen. These are the soulless Technocrats everyone talks about, and their hold on the Inner Circle is just one of their many crimes…
