Overview

The mysterious group is widely known to the enemies of Dragon. The roots of the society are lost in history but some rumors suggest that they exist since Terra's feudal Japanese empire. The first hard facts are from the early stages of the Draconis Combine. The ISF handle them as enemies of the state. They operate normally in four to six man groups, where every member is hand picked for a specific skill set, rounding out the overall talents of the group . These groups are known as Miharu No Seishin and the members consider themselves as Seishin ban. The reason for their success is the intensive training from the early childhood, even better then the DEST. [1]

The Nekakami were master of stealth and assassination. They have been known to gain access to even the most highly protected areas of the Combine, including Unity Palace. Their devotion to their cause is so great that if they are unable to fulfill the contract, they commit suicide.[2] When making contact with potential clients, they leave origami cats behind. These cats can be used to indicate acceptance of a contract, but sometimes are embossed with Japanese characters if more detailed information is required.[3]

History

After Theodore Kurita arrival to power, in 3039, the nekekami send a paper cat to him to offer him his services. It is unknown if Theodore contract them until the forming of Second Star League. When the launching of Task Force Serpent was decided, Theodore decided to send a Nekekami team of four men (in reality, three men and one women). Posing as Comstar techs, they infiltrated in Defiance and joined the expedition. Only the commanding officer of Task Force was informed of his presence. Probably Theodore wanted to compensate the absence of Combine troops in the expedition except for a DEST team. His idea was to send them to sabotage Jaguar bases and kill his leaders. The nekekami only acted after his commanding officer, Morgan Hasek-Davion was killed. After his assassin, a misterious Lucas Penrose was discovered, he threatened the live of Ariana Winston, the new commanding officer of the Task Force. The nekekami leader saved her after throw a poisoned shuriken to Penrose. In Huntress, the nekekami only realized two combat missions, both under Winston's orders: the first was to sabotage the secondary Jaguar command center in Lootera, destroying key parts. After the arrival of Jaguar reinforcements, this same command center was reactivated, and Winston send them again. This time, the nekekami did his job at his style: killing anyone they find in their way. The leader of the nekekami wounded critically the Ilkhan Lincoln Osis in a honor duel with swords, but was killed by him.
