New Order Legion

Contents
Location:
Unknown. NOL sometimes uses local bases but they are always temporary hideouts set only for duration of latest operations. Real headquarters are kept secret to avoid any possible retaliations.
Focus:
New Order Legion is a terrorist organisation devoted to completely destroy current political and social order, and then to replace it with their own - where strong will rule and weak will obey.
NOL ideology is based on social darvinism. Initially this organisation declared superiority only for superhuman being. Recently NOL changed their policy accepting baseline humans as well. Nowadays NOL makes no differences between metahumans and baseline humans, as long as they can prove superiority and strenght in overcoming any obstacle.
NOL claims that mutants are logical next step in human evolution. Organisation counts also any fully sentient and self-aware synthetic being as a part of this next step of human evolution, as long as this mechanoid was built by humans, mutants, or NOL. Organisation opposes to any kind of superhuman registration, or forced dismatling of sentient robots. First is perceived as an act of oppression and slavery, while latter is considered a murder. Lack of legal protection and rights given to sentient machines is also considered an act of slavery.
In theory it seems that NOL. wants only a fair treatment for mutants and some mechanoids, in practice their ideology proved to be far more aggressive, and centered around making them an upper caste of new society, while others would be forced into servitude. New Order Legion claims that "old" mankind is flawed, and should be replaced with superior beings in power over the Earth.
Another cornerstone of NOL. ideology is their declaration of superiority of Earth and mankind over everything else. NOL. are Earth supremacist, very often hostile to any extraterrestial and extradimensional beings. Organisation counts post-human mutants and mutates, as well as mankind-originated syntetics, as a part of their definition of "mankind".
NOL resurfaced fairly recently, in 2012, starting from terrorist attack on IHA bureau located in Prague, and followed by recent attack on IHA office in Millenium City. This latest one, performed on 5 January 2013, left many civilian casualties, as organisation used laser guided bunker buster missile for bombing IHA local headquarters.
Enemies:
NOL is openly hostile towards IHA. and their supporters.
Organisation is also hunted by UNTIL, PRIMUS and other law enforcement agencies.
Strangely, for some time NOL were also making aggressive moves towards ARGENT and VIPER, though reasons aren't known to anybody except high-ranked NOL members.
To make things even stranger, recently NOL were also working with ARGENT.
New Order Legion is also hostile to any extraterrestials, extraplanars, or non-human species of the Earth, with only exception being the manimals, who are seemingly considered mutants and might be recruited into NOL.
Finances:
NOL funding is made mostly by Haywire. He has an abundance of money, making it mostly by selling tech and advanced weaponry to criminals, terrorists or dictators. Depending from what his customer wants it may be a conventional weaponry, or even things like pulson and laser rifles. Or railguns and power armors - just name it.
He doesn't sell things directly, as he's perfectly aware that no too many people would buy anything from him.
Haywire is making use of intermediate steps like dummy companies and criminal groups. Most of his financial resorces are kept on bank accounts made by dummies or secretly bought out companies. His strategy is to distribute money between large number of such accounts, not linked to each other, just for making things more safe.
People:
NOL is often employing mercenaries, though their ideology makes hiring humans both difficult and risky.
Apart that, only a few individuals are known for being with NOL.
Lord Haywire:
Lord Haywire
The Supreme Commander of the New Order Legion, Lord Haywire was known to both UNTIL and PRIMUS as a beta level villain, mostly for gathering dangerous tech, like scavenging leftovers from operations againts Mechanon or Dr. Destroyer.
He seems to be the founder of the NOL and to this time the most powerful member of organisation.
Nothing is known about Haywire's origin, though at times he seems to have a grudge against ARGENT.
He's also known for his past attacks against UNTIL and PRIMUS squads, as well as for assaults made againts ARGENT and VIPER.
Blitz:
Blitz
Real name Klaus Ulrich Donner, citizen of Austria, and a mutant with powers of flight and electricity. Former military member, Klaus was known as a hitman and mercenary long before he allied himself with NOL.
According to UNTIL, he may be responsible for planning of all recent NOL operations.
Trickery:
Trickery
Real name Maria Alonso Ortiz, citizen of Mexico, she's a mutant with powers of becoming invisible and phasing through solid objects. She has large criminal record both in Mexico and in US, mainly for thievery with use of her powers.
UNTIL speculates that she may be responsible for majority of field intel that NOL gets.
Autonomous Aggressor Units:
Autonomous Aggressor Unit M3A2
Aggressor Units are standard footmen of NOL. They are almost always organised in squads consisting of five soldiers with regular weapons and a sixth one with heavy support weaponry. Usually they are equipped with pulson rifles, albeit their weapon is most often charged and set to kill.
In terms of training, equipment and firepower, they are close equivalent to the UNTIL or VIPER soldiers.
Pecularity of Aggressor Units is their design. Each of them seems to be fully sentient and self-aware. It's very likely that they are loyal to Haywire because they are either terrorised or indoctrinated, not because they are programmed for loyalty.
Aggressor Units are never issued with built-in weaponry, their equipment, including jet packs, is worn or hand-held. Only exception is light armor, being a part of their bodies.
All of them are also equipped with explosive charges inside their skulls, what makes reverse engineering their brains impossible - every time when Agressor Unit is dead, or forcibly disabled, it explodes leaving only a shattered and melted mass of nanochips.
UNTIL speculates that Aggressor Units may have personality backups made before every deployment, but there is no direct proof for such practice.
