Modus operandi

The group operates purely behind the scenes, slowly building up power. Teacher recruits civilians and grants them minor abilities using his power, at the expense of their free will. Scapegoat offsets this, by using his power to mitigate the brainwashing aspect, however, if they screw up or act out, their free will will be taken from them.

History

Post-Gold Morning

Teacher broke Ingenue out of prison, recruiting her into his group.<ref>Teneral e.5</ref>

Early-Ward

After Gold Morning, Teacher took over the old Cauldron Compound and started recruiting an army.

At some point, he took all of Balminders remaining Cauldron vials from him.<ref>“The number is zero,” Balminder said. “They’ve been claimed. I thought they were you.”

“Zero is my least favorite number,” Kurt said, in an uncharacteristically dangerous voice.

“Don’t kill him,” Jeanne said. “We can get answers out of him.”

“We know what those answers will be.”

“We’ll ask,” she said.

Kurt deferred, stepping back.

“Claimed,” Jeanne said the word. “Explain.”

“By a man. A month or two ago. He called himself Teacher. I didn’t even slip up, he just- he appeared. And he had a small army of people with powers with him.” - Excerpt from Interlude 5.x II</ref>

Post-Fallen fall

They were the main perpetrators of the Gimel portal Attack, using the war with Earth Cheit as a distraction and with plans to recruit or take down Goddess.<ref>Torch 7.9</ref>

Teacher recruits Scapegoat to his side, using Williams power to offset the negative aspects of his power.<ref>Interlude 8.y II</ref>

Teacher attempts to take over the parahuman prison, sending in drugged food that makes those who consume it resistant to Goddess' ability. Lung, the Pharmacist, Blindside, and Kingdom Come were also sent in at the groups behest.

Post-Time Bubble Pop

Teacher's Cauldron were revealed to have been subtly planting cyber attacks that would frame people, and ruin relationships within the heroic teams.<ref>Interlude 13.x</ref>

They are working with higher up members of Earth Cheit.
