History
"We ask of thee: Whit art thou?"

"We are Iscariot, the Zealot Judas!"

"In that case, Iscariot, we ask of thee: Whit dost thou hold in thy right hand?"

"Daggers and poisons!"

"In that case, Iscariot, we ask of thee: Whit dost thou hold in thy left hand?"

"Thirty silver pieces and a rope!"

-Opening to the Iscariot Vow, spoken as a call-and-response

Though the Grey Steel Order may be the Heralds of Chaos' greatest enemy, it is by no means the only enemy the Heralds of Chaos has made throughout their centuries-old existence. Though most were vanquished by the Cult or otherwise disbanded, the Grey Steel Order is not the only enemy of the Cult that has survived to this day.

One example would be the Priests of Judas, a controversial sect dating back to pre-Constantine Gnostic sects, a sect that reveres the infamous apostle as a zealot ordered by Christ to betray him, who then took his own life in an act of sacrifice. Upon their discovery of the Heralds of Chao, they made it their goal to hunt down and destroy them. This continued until around the 11th century when the Grey Steel Order encountered the Priests of Judas. By this time weakened by the passage of time, the Priests of Judas soon ceased to exist… As an independent organization.

Once folded into the Order, their members quickly proved their worth to the Order, serving as assassins and covert operatives for the Order. These roles the Priests of Judas serve in to this day, though their weapons have changed with the times. Where once they might have wielded a pair of blades, latter-day Priests of Judas prefer custom pistols as their weapon of choice, typically wielding one in each hand. Though they still wield a pair of knives in case they have to fight in CQC.

Recent times have also seen the Priests of Judas taking on roles as rapid strike infantry, with the Order increasingly resorting to destroying its enemy directly. These roles the Priests of Judas have taken on gladly, hunting down cultists with deadly efficiency and using their civilian clothing and training in assassination to slip away into the shadows when not fighting.

Priests of Judas practice suicidal devotion to their order and to the Grey Steel; each member is eager to die in battle, so that they may fight on against the forces of Chaos in the next life. As a result, they wear little in the way of protection and strap to their bodies vests full of C4 explosives, ready and willing to blow themselves--and everyone in the vicinity--into the afterlife as a last resort. Oddly enough, their zeal often puts them at odds with Fanatics, as Fanatics practice their fanaticism in hopes of atoning to Elysea, while the Priests of Judas do not want to be at peace with the Lord.
