In the 2020s, The Enhanced formed out of the remains of the Brainiacs, who were systematically massacred by the Blood Razors. This animosity had been sparked when the Brainiacs made a chapter of the Blood Razors immediately collapse due to an unforeseen Arasaka raid.
The Enhanced, understanding their weakness in open combat, adopted a secretive stance compared to their precursors. They became a secretive cult that used their members' skills to enact dangerous activities to get more of the public chipped in.
The Enhanced are believers in the idea that Cyberpsychosis is actually a form of enlightenment that allows the individual to experience planes of existence outside normal capacities. To that end, they see a singularity point which brings them tears of joy and they are willing to do anything to accelerate that outcome. ↩︎
