Los Illuminados/Bio & Battles

Los Illuminados was a cult operating in an unknown rural region in Spain. Los Illuminados was created sometime around the 18th century where they worshipped "Las Plagas" ("The Plagues"), a parasitic organism with the ability to control its hosts.

The first Castellan of the region outlawed the cult and had the Plagas sealed in a cave system beneath his castle. Eventually, under the rule of the 8th Castellan, the Los Illuminados now under the rule of Osmund Saddler, were allowed to mine the area, for that was how Salazar felt he should atone for the sins of his ancestors, who sealed Las Plagas from the Los Illuminados, effectively occupying his castle which acted as a base for the cult under Saddler.

The entire Los Illuminados were soon implanted with Plagas along with much of the local population who had joined the cult. Saddler himself was implanted with a Master Plaga and as such has direct control over the others, using lieutenants with similarly augmented Plagas to monitor and direct the Ganados on the ground.
