Executive Summary
Entities historically referred to as Protectors (mythical beings believed to be divine emissaries) have been confirmed to exist. While initially integrated into human cultural and religious systems, their autonomy has proven problematic. Protectors demonstrate supernatural capabilities (documented range: 1-6 distinct abilities per entity), with many choosing paths contradictory to human expectations.
A subset of these entities, classified as Corruptors, abandoned protective roles and pursued destructive behaviors. Corruptors present existential threats, ranging from isolated civilian casualties to region-scale catastrophic events.
Between 1992-2003, an undeclared conflict occurred between these entities and human military coalitions. This engagement, now designated The Silent War, remains suppressed from public knowledge.
---
Protectors - Mythical-class entities identified across multiple cultures, historically revered. Average ability manifestation: 1-3. Highest verified: 6. Alignment ranges from benevolent to hostile.
Corruptors - Former Protectors exhibiting behavioral or cognitive decline, often associated with abilities involving darkness, manipulation, or psychic distortion. Causes remain under investigation; leading theory suggests cognitive takeover by their own abilities.

Confirmed supernatural categories include:
Shapeshifting, Umbrakinesis, Telekinesis, Geokinesis, Astraphokinesis, Elemental manipulation, Telepathy.

Initial public sightings (early 1990s) were dismissed as cultural anomalies. By 1994, escalating incidents, civilian deaths, unexplained disasters, mass hallucinations—necessitated covert intervention.
1995: First confirmed military engagement with hostile Corruptors. Dozens of casualties.
1997-1999: Escalation of engagements; Protectors aligned with humanity participated on both sides, complicating identification and response.
2000: High-intensity conflict; multiple urban centers were compromised. The Seattle Incident (2000) resulted in over 12,000 civilian deaths.
2003: War concluded following coordinated international containment operations. Over half of all known entities disappeared post-conflict, with no confirmed explanation for their absence.
Civilian reports were suppressed under Information Control Directive 77-A. All records of major incidents have been sanitized or attributed to natural disasters, terrorism, or mass psychosis.

Estimated uncontained entities: 60-120 (confidence LOW)
