"We are the Fists of Shadow. We don't grab victory; we take it!"

- Motto of the Fists of Shadow

The Fists of Shadow, also known as the Fist, is a small insurgent group that combats the White Fang throught acts of violence, sabatoge, hijacking, and other extreme methods in order to achieve their goals. The group was founded by the orphaned brothers, Krov and Klein Beckett and consists of other individuals that share the same resentment toward the White Fang.

They been known to even target Faunuses' and anyone else that the group sees as allies to the Fang. The group was considered defunct after Klein Beckett stopped a bombing attempt onto a major Faunus populated area.

H istory
"Vengeance is what drives us. Justice is what serves us."

- Krov Beckett The origins of the Fists of Shadow started when the Beckett brothers' parents were killed in a bombing that was caused by White Fang supporters. Young Klein Beckett was only twelve years old when the bombing happened, his elder brother was fourteen. While Klein grieved, Krov sought revenge against the White Fang. For months the brothers have tracked the movements of the White Fang and began hindering their operations. Soon the two gained a small reputation among some of the human populous and shortly, but surely, the Fists of Shadow was born.

"Damn... We got cops!" "The dumb ones or the stupid ones?" "The ones that don't get paid enough!" "So... the dumb ones?"

- Krov and Klein sharing some witty banter As the group grew in strength, so did their actions. Krov wasn't pleased with just the blood of just White Fang members. He knew that the White Fang political party would just continue to grow in strength so long as there were radical Faunuses' that continue to breathe. Since there was no way to determine who actually associated themselves with the Fang, the Fists of Shadow applied the policy to "terminate all viable recruits" of the White Fang, with extreme prejudice. From bombings to assassination attempts, the Fists of Shadow was not longer fighting the Fang; they sought to wipe out every Faunus that they saw as a threat. Only motivated throught blind vengeance, Krov wanted nothing more than pure genocide one city at a time. Due to these actions, the local authorities labeled the Fist as a terrorist group.

"The future belongs to us brother! The future is ours for the taking!" "Not my future! And certainly not yours!"

- Krov and Klein Beckett during their final confontation Their rise to power was abruptly ended after a failed bombing attempt caused by Klein Beckett. A train shippment of raw Dust, that have been hijacked by White Fang members, was retaken by Fist operatives. However, it wasn't a coincidence that they have stumbled upon the train. For the past three months Krov has been listening in on the White Fang and knew the train would be taken months prior. But what he planned to do with the train, along with its cargo, is what caused his brother to betray him and his comrades. He planned to use the train as a giant bomb that would be set off to explode in a heavily Faunus populated area with the assistance of a timed detonator. Klein couldn't bare the thought of killing anymore innocent bystanders and attempted to disarm the detonator. When he couldn't stop the timer, he tried to derail the train once it entered a canyon checkpoint. After fighting his brother and other Fist members, Klein was successful and managed to escape as the train derailed and dropped in the middle of the canyon, which in turn caused a violent explosion. He was forced to leave his brother, and his former friends, behind. Krov is presumed dead at the scene.

- Krov Beckett The Fists of Shadow have struck a few White Fang cells and hindered minor operations.
