A Behemoth attack spooked the leader of the Boston Protectorate after they took losses and weakened the hierarchical structure of the Hero organization, making him turn to underhanded tactics to defend the city.
Dark
Because they believed that Boston was a safer city when each of the gangs was forced to counterbalance each others’ strength, rather than being safe to consolidate power under Praetor’s treaty.
Light
Because Maxwell deceived the Blood Moon gang leader through fear that minor gangs would be exterminated, while promising Praetor that he would fill the power vacuum with his own representatives.
Dark
Gangs who broke their agreement found themselves being harassed by the combined forces of the PRT and Protectorate. Smaller gangs were completely wiped out as examples.
Dark
Because each of the minor gangs had begun forming a loose alliance (upon Maxwell’s proposal) in order to protect themselves from Praetor’s power-hungry deals, forming a coalition with more manpower than any of the three major gangs individually - Light
Scylla and Charybdis, collectively known as The Sisters came into Maxwell’s possession in lieu of a debt repayment. They are two exceptionally powerful aerokines, who’s abilities give them the ability to avoid detection by The Architect, making them the perfect assassins for Maxwell’s plans - Dark
Maxwell persuades Kingmaker that both of their resources would be spread too thinly were they to come to blows immediately - peaceful exchange of information would be a mutually acceptable foundation for their working relationship (securing both of their early operations) and could become a foundation for a future alliance once things calmed down enough for either of them to predict whether an alliance would be more beneficial than not - Light
Each gang thought Praetor only dealt with them, so showing them otherwise would theoretically breed mistrust and anarchy among the supposedly allied gangs, weakening every involved party.
Light
With an anonymous source feeding them information, the Hand were able to claim plausible deniability when it came to dealing with threats, since no hero would willing leave behind a dangerous super-villain. The operations disrupted the balance of power, leaving holes in Protectorate defenses - Light
He plans to redirect the attention of Orion’s hand onto his rivals, planting evidence of an upcoming rebellion in order to trigger widescale crackdowns by the Protectorate and thereby incite rebellion from the resulting police brutality - Dark
He believed that he needed to make an unquestionable demonstration of force in order to salvage order at the far end of the violence
