Previously a part of Valkyrie's hoard of ghosts, they have been brought back by combined powers of Valkyrie, Bonesaw, and Nilbog.

Modus operandi

The team helps Valkyrie fight the giant threats that not many others can handle.

A lot of them are not in the best place mentally, suffering either from shard-influences, usually with some form of personality erosion, or a trauma of dying.

They are intentionally kept away from their previous contacts.<ref>Listen, they’re fragile. There’s stuff wrong with them. In their heads, in their bodies. She apparently fixes them or she lets other people fix them. But until she gives the word, we’re supposed to leave them alone, we avoid putting them anywhere near their old loved ones, teammates, whatever. If you see any, try to ignore them or keep interactions light. You’ll hurt yourselves if you don’t.- Excerpt from Dying 15.3</ref>

Warden Response

While they gave their tacit approval and resources, they do not seem to provide any special secrecy beyond general hand-waving of uncomfortable details that comes with a cape lifestyle.^{[citation needed]} Neither they shown any attempts to insulate Valkyrie from possible dissenters.

History

There was an early success.<ref>Interlude: End</ref>

Ward

They had some unspecified losses.<ref name="numbers"/>

Post-Fallen fall

Valkyrie and her flock take on an enormous, world-ending threat in the form of an enormous tinker tower that could potentially strip the entire earth of its atmosphere.<ref>Interlude 9 II</ref>

Post-Time Bubble Pop

Some of them were dispersed among heroes during The Wardens' assault on the Teacher's Compound.<ref>Dying 15.3</ref> Some stayed by Valkyrie's side, protecting her from Ingenue and her thralls.<ref name="15.yII">Interlude 15.y II</ref>
