History
Eons ago a group of angels led by Arciach descended upon Earth. They approached the ancient Humans, the ancestors of the Inuit tribes who crossed the land bridge to North America. Using their shapeshifting abilities, the angels took the forms of animals, integrating themselves in the Inut's culture. The Humans new to the strange land before them, near starvation and death at the harsh cold, were easily deceived by the angels into thinking them as gods.

However as time passed, the Humans began to see the true nature of their gods as "Ijiraq", shapeshifters who used their powers to capture wayward travelers. Many tried to escape, a few did and managed to escape south where they flourished. Those who did not were forced into servitude under these demon gods. However, their suffering was answered by the angels of Heaven who made war with Arciah and his followers. Aricach was captured in the confrontation, sacrificing himself to allow his queen Lilith to escape with the others from Earth.

The Syndicate made their way through the depths of space under Lilith they fled to a distant world where they discovered a discarded creation of God, the Elder God Aethion. Aethion, who had been imprisoned by the Creator, still possessed power to assume control over the inhabitants of the world he was held on. Though the angels were unaffected, Syth-sassar managed to convince the Elder God to ally himself with them in order to gain revenge on God. He agreed to use his power to influence the populace of Earth through a window, manipulating the Humans to turn on one another a bring the Apocalypse.

However, their actions caught the attention of another fallen angel, Lucifer. Interestingly Lucifer, while having no love for God, refused to have them interfere with his Earth, and declared that he would stop them. Lucifer caused a division within the Syndicate, warning of Syth-rassar's past as his fellow compatriot when he rebelled against god alongside him. He also warned them of coming of Sangilak's descendant who was prophesied to defeat them before teleporting away.
