<p>The Castigian Cabal, excluding those who are being coerced into working with them, follows the following structure:</p>
<ol>
<li>Outer Circle - has some resources or assets that they are to uphold and ideally expand in service of the Cabal. May also be employees for other factions, thus working as spies and moles, aiming to skew the other faction to unwittingly aid the Cabal, or at least be less able to obstruct the Cabal's work.</li>

<li><strong>Information Gathering:</strong> One of &nbsp;their primary tasks is to gather information. Those who are also part of another faction are naturally tasked with gathering information on said faction. Those who worked outside any of the larger factions tends to be asked with gathering information on their suppliers, partners, and customers—particularly if there are influential people among those. Tasks include monitoring communications, tracking transactions, identifying potential weak-points that may be exploited, and identifying key individuals who may be of interest to the Cabal. This information gathering also includes figuring out who could might become a new recruit, and who might be coerced into cooperating with the Cabal.</li>
<li><strong>Influence and Manipulation:</strong> Those who are also members of other factions are often tasked with subtly influencing decision-making processes within said faction. This may include strategically providing information or recommendations that align with the Cabal's interest—particularly by manipulating what information reaches the decision-makers, and how the information is presented, such that the natural choice of action will be one that the Cabal sees as favorable (or at the very least, that the decision is the least unfavorable option). They may also be tasked with subtly trying to sway opinions within the organization, which also serves as a way to gage who might be a potential new recruit.</li>
<li><strong>Influence and Manipulation:</strong> Those who are also members of other factions are often tasked with subtly influencing decision-making processes within said faction. This may include strategically and selectively providing information or recommendations that align with the Cabal's interest—particularly by manipulating what information reaches the decision-makers, and how the information is presented, such that the natural choice of action will be one that the Cabal sees as favorable (or at the very least, that the decision is the least unfavorable option). They may also be tasked with subtly trying to sway opinions within the organization, which also serves as a way to gage who might be a potential new recruit.</li>
<li><strong>Sabotage and Obstruction:</strong> They are also often tasked with carrying out acts of sabotage or to create obstacles for other factions without raising suspicion. This can include discretely damaging or manipulating equipment, disrupting supply chains, or subtly undermining the faction's reputation or trust towards its partners.</li>
<li>Internal Conflict Instigation: Can involve planting evidence or manipulate circumstances as to create internal conflicts or tension within the other faction they're part of. This can help divert said faction's attention and resources away from being able to interfere with the Cabal's plans, while creating a sense of instability that can be further exploited by the Cabal.</li>
<li>Propaganda and Disinformation</li>
<li>Financial Manipulation<ul>
<li>discretely diverting funds, manipulating finaancial reords, influence investment decisions.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>Strategic Positioning:<ul>
<li>Particularly a task given to people they wish to promote. If you've proven yourself, the Cabal may ask and help you get aa more prominent position, aas aa prerequisite for promotion to middle circle.</li>
</ul>
</li>
<li>&nbsp;</li>
<li>Recruitment and Coercion: NOTE: While decision is often up to Inner circle (regarding who to recruit), the actual task of approaching is often given to a lower or middle circle member. This makes it so a potential leak is less dangerous for the organization, as they dont risk revealing one of their Inner Circle members.)</li>
