The Suits are a group of parahumans from the United Kingdom and Europe.<ref name="27.2">Extinction 27.2</ref>

Goals & Methods

They presented themselves to the public as an elite group that was "hipper, cooler and more effective" than the King’s Men. However, they were actually barely treading water as a group, in terms of funding and membership. Too many deaths to Endbringers, even before the pace had picked up, and the merchandising wasn’t working out, with the group accepting handouts from the PRT on a regular basis.<ref name="27.2"/>

Their operations mostly covered Western Europe, although they had some involvement in the Middle East.<ref>Wildbow on Spacebattles</ref>

The Suits managed different duties, classifying capes into groups for public service, fighting, intrigue, fast response and watching for malfeasance in other areas of the public. They wore costumes stylized after different card suits from the Italian and French decks – heart, club, spade, diamond, sword, wand, coin and cup.<ref name="27.2"/> Each group has a specific focus and a hierarchy, topped by Knave, Queen and with King at the very top.[citation needed]

History

In an attack in December, 2011 the leadership of the Heart, Sword, Wand and Cup were all killed or left in a state where they were unable to maintain their positions. An influx of new members with new positions unbalanced the group - introducing a number of new ideas and practices that conflicted with the old guard. The King of Spades attempted to step in and regulate the Knave of Swords' group caused a public conflict which would only further divide the Suits.
