  • Information Gathering: All members are responsible for gathering information, with Shadow Initiates often having it as one of their primary responsibilities. Whatever faction or group the member is affiliated with or has access to outside the Cabal are naturally areas the member is tasked with gathering information about. Members are also tasked with gathering information about other parties' suppliers, partners, and customers, especially if influential individuals are involved. This information gathering typically involves monitoring communications; discretely access and copy documents, letters, ledgers, and the likes; listening in on and reporting on important conversations, including who it was between; tracking transactions; identifying vulnerabilities the Cabal can use to coerce; and identifying key individuals the Cabal would be interested in. identifying potential new recruits and people who might be susceptible to the Cabal's coercion tactics are also important parts of information gathering, as it allows the cabal to grow and extend its reach.
  • Influence and Manipulation: Members are often tasked with subtly influencing decision-making processes within other factions or groups that they are part of. This involved strategically providing (potentially falsified) information or recommendations that steers the faction or group in a direction benefiting the cabal. They will selectively manipulate the information that reaches decision-makers, and present information in a manner that favors the Cabal's preferred course of action. They may also work to subtly sway opinions within a faction or group, sowing mistrust, creating schisms, and nurturing environments where more people of said group/faction become susceptible to being indoctrinated into the Cabal's beliefs.
  • Sabotage and Obstruction: Members will frequently, and discretely, carry out acts of sabotage or create obstacles for rival factions and groups. The Cabal aims to have such actions hinder and delay, and ideally stop initiatives made by their adversaries entirely before they can be brought to fruition.

    1. most often to either create mistrust towards certain high-ranking people within the faction/group, or to try create a schism in said faction/group. Actions related to influencing and manipulating other groups and factions are most often part of a larger scheme or strategy, as randomly seeding of mistrust and misdirection can turn out detrimental to the Cabal's overall plans.

  • Internal Conflict Instigations: Members will instigate internal conflicts within other factions and groups, often as part of a scheme or a larger strategy. These endeavors often have the goal of increasing distrust towards certain high-ranking individuals within a faction or group, potentially with the aim of forcing an abdication so that they can fill the now-empty role with one of the Cabal's own. The Cabal may also attempt to create general schisms, with the aim of creating internal conflict that ideally paralyze the faction or group from within.

  • Propaganda and Disinformation: The Cabal's member will often be tasked with spreading propaganda and disseminating disinformation within other factions or groups they are affiliated with. The aim is to shape narratives in ways that align with the Cabal's interests. These efforts include manipulating internal communications, subtly alter documents and reports, and engaging in strategic conversations or rumors to influence opinions and perceptions.

  • Financial/Resource Manipulation: Members may also be involved in manipulating another faction or group's finances, or manipulating the availability of their resources. This can include discreetly diverting funds or assets, manipulating financial records, or influencing investment decisions to benefit the Cabal's interests.

  • Coercion and Extortion: Members may also be given tasks related to the coercion. They may be given the responsibility of making sure an individual the Cabal is coercing into cooperating does not get any ideas of disobeying them. Tasks here includes keeping control over assets used to coerce the individual, and performing examples to make sure the individual do not even think of trying to disobey the Cabal. Duties here also includes acting as the Cabal's proxy towards the coerced individual, to make they do not catch on to a larger organization being behind the coercive actions. Shades and Veiled Enforcers are often involved in endeavors related to coercion and extortion. They'll be tasked with keeping a close watch, and to step in and either eliminate the person should they try to leak information, or eliminate an asset the coerced person holds dear to force them back in line when they move towards trying to leak information.

  • Strategic Positioning: The Cabal actively tries to position its members in strategic positions within other factions and groups. The Cabal will often have schemes that involve eliminating someone in a key position, while setting up one of their members to become the natural replacement. The Cabal will prefer eliminating people with non-violent means in such schemes, such as by sowing distrust to force them to abdicate, simply due to that rising less suspicion than someone suddenly disappearing or dying.
