For my next group of skopes they are just an expansion to The Purifiers in the previous post I did..

This faction of The Purifiers broke away from Matthew Risman’s group when Bastion used the resurrected body of Reverend William Stryker to create his own army. Members of this group opted to wear robes that reflected the colors of Bastion since he was the newly reborn form of Nimrod. Bastion also handpicked certain soldiers from the common ranks to serve as his elite guard and they were given a unique uniform to stand out from the rest. The guard serve as Bastion’s personal bodyguards and never say a word which suggests they took a vow of silence because they are aware that Stryker is just a puppet and not really returned from the dead. When Matthew Risman and his Choir attacked Bastion’s former base it left both teams of Purifiers with huge losses within their ranks especially after Archangel and X-Force showed up to retrieve Rahne Sinclair (Wolfsbane) who they also has imprisoned. Bastion has moved on with his group of infected leaders and abandoned Risman’s Purifiers since they believe that Stryker is not the same person he once was. Bastion has since become aware that a new mutant baby was born but was lost in time when she was taken by Cable into the time stream. He knows that she will eventually return to fulfill her destiny and his followers will be waiting for her. Until then Bastion is letting his other resurrected leaders strike at the remaining mutant population with their own followers while he remains behind the scenes.
