Daybreak
Public Agenda
Daybreak is dedicated to establishing global peace and stability by any means necessary. The general population is unaware of Daybreaks true nature, but international governments who are aware of its secret nature recognize Daybreak as a force for good and order. The jurisdiction that extends from its long history of public good extends into most intelligence organizations down a regional police forces or any group in a position of true power.
The Daybreak foundation is the organizations public face, chaired by retired shipping magnate Thaddeus Sinclair. Sinclair has taken the foundation away from it's religous roots, and enlisted a number of other philanthropists committed to giving away the majority of their wealth for the public good. Daybreak is known for developing and deploying low cost and maintenance advanced technologies to empovershed communities globally. These often focus on public infrastructure, health care, and education.
Daybreak is best popularly known for the Solstice festival, a gala event headlined by a number of celebrities and popstars meant to raise funds and awareness to the causes they champion. This is a virtually attendable event, allowing for the general population to observe while their favorite stars celebrate the longest day of the year.
Assets
The Daybreak Foundation controls a vast fortune in the 21st century, and has its fingers in virtually every market on the planet. A very public show is made of contributions by it's wealthy contributors to act as a smokescreen for the sheer breadth of it's domain. Public note has been made several times of how closed it's books are though, but the Foundation has always been able to pull strings to make the press disappear.
As a psuedo-military force, Daybreak controls a small private army that can be deployed to hotspots under the guise of an international peacekeeping force. It has intelligence assets placed globally, many as double agents in existing government and police organizations. The location of the Daybreak central HQ is a closely guarded secret, and they have several permanent hidden bases globally for rapid response to crises.
Advanced in its technological pursuits, and never above industrial espionage, Daybreak deploys cutting ege technologies to combat its foes. The most recent weapon in their quiver is Project Helios, with the Helios Guard: cyberneticly enhanced soldiers powered wirelessly via remote reactor.
History
Founded in 1909 by the Grand Mother Vittoria de Foix, the Cardinal of Sanctuary. Daybreak was a response to the rise of anti-intellectualism both in the Illuminated Church of the Golden Sun as well as in the world in general. The scale of destruction in World War I showed that the catastrophic side effects of ignorance were unnacceptable. The Church was at the peak of it's power then, and Daybreak used the chaos following the war to sequester a fortune into a number of bank accounts and corporations world wide. These investments have slowly grown into the 21st century, funding a global intelligence agency dedicated to keeping the world in the light of peace and stability.
With the rise of the information age, de Foix found it vital to have a public face to act as a global cover for the organization's covert operations. The Daybreak foundation was formed to act as this. The foundation's public works and emergency relief
Tenets of Faith
The upper leadership of Daybreak is almost exclusively chosen from adherant Illuminates. The organization has found that the loyalty that comes out of faith has allowed them security unafforded to most intelligence agencies. In recent decades these ranks have been opened to those whose talents outweight this need.
These upper echelons strongly believe that the secret agenda of Daybreak is to bring about the reincarnation of Saint Anastasia in the fifth reincarnation to lead the world out of the darkness brought about by The Big Shift. Many of these believe the groups reliance of technology and shifted individuals is a weakness that will eventually corrupt their mission.
Political Influence & Intrigue
The formation of Daybreak is the next step in a centuries long shadow battle between the Illuminate Grand Mother of Sanctuary, most recently de Foix, and her counterpart the Grandmother of Truth, currently Mary Annuciata. Sanctuary has long held that Shadow is an allegorical threat that must be battled on a spiritual and ethical level. Truth believes that Shadow is literal and requires more direct methods.
In the 20th century Daybreak was instrumental in rooting out and decimating Truth's secret sect of assassins the Nightstalkers, castrating their efforts as terrorism and extortion. This has been instrumental in Daybreaks acceptance as a global force, but has left Truth resorting to various illicit methods to continue their mission.
