The Virus

The Virus is a sentient microbe that's capable of creating drones that follow it's will, and can influence the world on a macroscopic level by infecting people and enslaving them. These people are commonly known as The Marauders. The Virus mutated into two other beings. The Zombiefied and The Rogue Strain. The Rogue Strain, however, does not agree with The Virus in it's need for conquest, and instead believes in natural balance. Thus the creation of The Legion. The Zombiefied, however, are not sentient, but merely an evolutionary by product of The Virus. Where The Virus is, is unknown, due to it's microscopic state. It may travel by air as a small cell, or perhaps it lives embedded into the tissue of a marauder. But wherever it is, it silently controls the war between itself and The Rogue Strain.
