|
| ==History==
| | The Brigade was originally known only as their designation number: Task Force 19. However, this changed with the appointment of a Sergeant whose name has been lost with the passing of history. It was said that his voice was so loud that it could be heard, yelling orders, above the sounds of battle. This earned him the nickname of "Banshee", and ever since then, the Brigade was to be called '''"Banshee’s Brigade"'''. However, after the Sergeant's death, the name stuck with the Brigade and they decided to keep it, but had it styled to fit with their latest roster change - simply becoming '''Banshee Brigade'''. The fact that this name has stuck has led some to believe that it is in honor of their long-fallen comrade. |

Rather than being absorbed by another clan, [[House Caliburnus]] petitioned the Dark council to allow the unthinkable; a house independent of the Clan system. Banshee Brigade joined the cause and, along with two other battle teams (Ebon Cloak and Nightshade), refused to waiver. The Brigade was strong in this time and was instrumental in both winning the Independence of [[House Caliburnus]], but also in eventually helping to reform [[Clan Scholae Palatinae]] under Grand Master [[Justinian Khyron]]. |
