''"Our Sarge kicked the bucket in the Blockade. But the night before, he told each of us he'd left us something in a vault. Old sod must've been loaded. Thing is, we need his account number to get it. He gave part of it to each of us, so there'd be no thieving. Hence our predicament: that last mission, our Lt sold us out. Half the squad died, the rest scattered."''<ref name = "ratbrigade">{{ | ''"Our Sarge kicked the bucket in the Blockade. But the night before, he told each of us he'd left us something in a vault.

The Brigade didn't always consist of three members. Before, they were known as the '''Rat Regiment''', a mercenary company formed at the start of the [[New Winchester|Winchester War]] that offered their services to the Tacketies and Stovepipes alike. Because of this, they were not respected by either side. | The Brigade didn't always consist of three members.

Eventually, they were hired by the Tacketies to sabotage the Governor's engine, ''Her Majesty's Displeasure'', during the Blockade of New Winchester. However, they were betrayed by one of their own. Now half of them are dead, while the other half is scattered across the [[High Wilderness]]. | Eventually, they were hired by the Tacketies to sabotage the Governor's engine, ''Her Majesty's Displeasure'', during the Blockade of New Winchester.

Before the Blockade, Sarge, their leader, gave each member of the Regiment parts of his account number at Hallidge's Bank, claiming that he left something in his vault.

It turns out the Brigade and the Windward Company had a misunderstanding. It wasn't the Lieutenant that betrayed the Brigade; rather, it was Sarge himself who made the deal with the Company. The engine that the rats were sabotaging was a decoy, and the Governor escaped. | It turns out the Brigade and the Windward Company had a misunderstanding.

The misunderstanding began when the Windward's engine fired too early and killed half of the Regiment, including Sarge himself. Somehow, they assumed that the Lieutenant was in on the plan, so they hired him. The Lieutenant claims that he withheld the truth to honor Sarge's name.<ref name = "windward">{{ | The misunderstanding began when the Windward's engine fired too early and killed half of the Regiment, including Sarge himself.
