Goals

Several members of Faultline's Crew are Case 53s. Some of them have put their wages toward investigating their origins<ref name="15.x">Interlude 5</ref>. Though explicitly mercenary, the crew does have limits on who they work for and what they do, willing to do "anything short of murder."<ref>Hive 5.1</ref>

History

Background

Faultline recruited Newter and Gregor the Snail after saving them from being arrested by a hero. After they met her conditions, she founded a team with them roughly three years before the story started.<ref name="S:BW">Snippets: Before Worm</ref>

The group pulled a job on the North American Tinker black market<ref name="15.x" /> and infiltrated a high-security asylum seeking information on the Dragonslayers. After defeating a team from the Boston Protectorate, they recruited Labyrinth, an inmate who had been recently transferred there<ref name="15.x">Interlude 5</ref>.

Around a month before coming to Brockton Bay, they defeated Chevalier and Myrddin in Philadelphia<ref name="15.x" />.

Story Start

The crew recruited Spitfire at some time either before or during the events of Worm.

Having been paid by Coil to do so, the crew attended a meeting at the neutral ground of Somer's Rock to plan a course of attack against the ABB. Members of the crew partnered with subordinates or members of the Empire, Coil, the Undersiders, and the Travelers in raiding ABB warehouses.

Post-ABB battle

At some time between Interlude 5 and Infestation 11.7, the crew recruited Shamrock. The crew crashed a Merchants "party" in an attempt to seize six Cauldron vials in Skidmark's possession.

Burnscar attacked the crew's living quarters at Palanquin to talk to Labyrinth.

Post-Slaughterhouse Nine

The crew assaulted Jeremy Foster at his house and recruited Matryoshka in Madison, Earth Aleph, and was subsequently attacked by Contessa as a warning from Cauldron.

Faultline's Crew participated in the battle against Echidna.

The crew attended Cauldron's meeting and participated in Golden Morning.
