Fireflies

*Spoilers. Read at your own risk*The Fireflies are a radical Anti government militia in The Last of Us. They are fighting a losing war against the US Military. They are one of the few groups still looking in vain for a cure or vaccine. Marlene, the leader tasked Joel to deliver a 14 year old named Ellie to the capitol building in Boston so they could extract a cure from her. When it goes terriblly wrong, they trek across an abandonded America only to be captured by The Fireflies and Ellie is nearly killed by them for the sake of their mission

Little is known about their current troop strength status. It is stated, however, that The US Military has been wiping them out, indicating that they are low in numbers. It is unknown if Marlene was elected as leader or if there has ever been a previous leader (Though she did appear in the prolouge of The Last of Us, indicating that she was at least a member since the begining.) It can be speculated that some of their memebers were veterans of The Army before joining. They have also freed other quarantine zones (Like the now Hunter-run Pittsburgh) and that they have their on QZ's
