===The Adepts===
{{main|The Adepts}}
A group of self-professed magic users<ref name="21.7">Adepts.  Self professed magic users.  One page of information, listing names and powers.  Another page with the PRT’s information on them: a series of codes and symbols I didn’t quite follow, numbers inside colored circles, squares and diamonds.  From what I could gather, they had a low threat level, moderate crime rate, moderate ‘engagement’ level, low activity level.  Led by Epoch, a time traveler. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/25/imago-21-7/ Excerpt] from [[Imago 21.7]]</ref> that poaches Wards and Protectorate members.<ref name="poach">“We do what we’re doing with the Cauldron capes, run her by our thinkers,” Dispatch said.  “We can get a more concrete assessment of her now, with a field exercise, than by any amount of talking.  If I’m remembering right, a notice went out, didn’t it?  A New York group of villains is poaching Wards and Protectorate members?”<br/><br/>“The Adepts,” Revel said. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> Hold three primary properties, but no territory, preventing conflict with local gangs.<ref name="branch">“''This is only a branch,''” Prism said, over the comm, “''They have three primary properties.  They don’t hold territory, so the local gangs leave them be.  The idea is to discourage them.  Fight only so long as you’re confident you’ll win.  Communicate what’s going on, and we’ll step in if need be.  With luck, this will be a setback for them, and cause to stop headhunting'' from our side.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/05/25/drone-23-1/ Excerpt] from [[Drone 23.1]]</ref> Led by [[Epoch]].<ref name="Epoch"/>
===The Elite===
{{main|The Elite}}
Have a cell in New York, headed by [[Uppercrust]],<ref name="crustycrab">"They've also got a cell here in New York. One of their leaders, Uppercrust, is dying. Same medical problem that led to his trigger event. He was the easiest to work with - one of our contractors for the large-scale force fields at sensitive port locations. His failing health was a small factor in why Brockton Bay was hit as hard as it was. Can't get around to his work sites. Now you've got splinter factions vying for his seat." - [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14752783 <nowiki>PRT: Department Sixty Four, thread II [Worm Quest] - Page 82</nowiki>]</ref> running one of the least violent and most professional cells.<ref name="violence">"Exactly what it says in the files. Varies from case to case. Bastard Son's gang is very nearly as bad as the Slaughterhouse Nine. Uppercrust are strictly business, with no villainous activity we can detect. Others fit in at different points along the spectrum. I would recommend you do some investigation, get a sense for how this particular group operates, and then get in touch with me when you've decided what you're doing. You can call in a favor, I won't hold it against you, given the situation, you just need to decide what that favor will be. A permanent increase to your roster, building, staff, addition to a department? Or even a serious strike squad, if you think you have a good battle plan." - [[Department Sixty Four]], [https://forums.spacebattles.com/posts/14752783 PRT Quest thread ii p82]</ref> Uppercrust was one of the contractors for the large-scale force fields at sensitive port locations across the United States coasts, including in [[Brockton Bay]].<ref>The forcefield defense was provided by Uppercrust (not to be confused with Upperhand), in one of the more neutral (as opposed to hostile) cases of Elite dealings with the PRT. Unfortunately, Uppercrust was ailing as 2011 rolled around and his attention to the various defense systems along the coasts was suffering as a consequence. - [https://www.reddit.com/r/Parahumans/comments/5h4rzv/what_roll_did_the_elite_have_in_brockton_bay/daxgr0n/ reddit comment] by Wildbow.</ref><ref name="crustycrab"/>

{{main|The Teeth}}
Once a gang in Brockton Bay, until they were nearly wiped out by [[the Slaughterhouse Nine]]. Also have a cell in [[Boston]].<ref name="Teeth">''Once a gang in Brockton Bay, they were nearly wiped out by the Slaughterhouse Nine.  They re-established themselves as cells in New York and Boston, and have since rebuilt, though turnover has proved high enough that no original members remain – only the name survives.  Savage, reckless, willing to do anything for a profit, they aim to oust the Undersiders and use violence to carve out a territory.'' - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/cast-spoiler-free/cast/ Cast (In Depth)]</ref>
===Lost Garden===
A group of very young parahumans, led by [[Barrow]].
