Goals and Methods

They operated and justified themselves as a check on the growing power of a potentialy dangerous AI. The only remaining Richter AI at the beginning of the story, happens the be a benevolent philanthropist. The Dragonslayers fear that this benevolence would not last forever. Richter provided the Dragonslayers with all the weaknesses his creations had, and the Dragonslayers came up with a few new ones. By the end of Worm, however, their enemy had figured out how to mitigate almost all of these weaknesses.

History

Background

After Dragon began her career as a hero, Saint discovered what she was after finding a device left behind by her creator, Andrew Richter. He used the information he was able to obtain to create situations where Dragon had to restore from her backup in the middle of a fight and cut off her signals to satellites, presumably denying her the ability to recall why she lost.

In the end, Saint was able to steal three of Dragon's armored suits on three separate occasions. He dismantled and reverse-engineered to outfit his mercenary group with special suits of their own.

They used Teacher to maintain an understanding of Dragon's technology.<ref name="28.2">Cockroaches 28.2</ref>

Were paid by Coil for tips on how to deal with Dragon.<ref name="16.5 e1">“She’s gone,” Tattletale replied. “Suits leaving the city, satellite phones are working. Few factors at play, there. I got word back from the Dragonslayers. Paid them a few million bucks to tell me how they keep getting the upper hand on Dragon, tell me how she’s relaying commands to her suits. With that, I had some squads plant C-4 and knock down cell towers. That slowed her down, cut her bandwidth, so to speak, and limited her ability to reprogram them on the fly. I’m guessing you guys took out one or more suits?” - Excerpt from Monarch 16.5</ref>
