Scorpio
The newest Seer pylon at work in Boston is Scorpio: Strategic Corps Invasion Operatives, the hawks in the local Seer ranks and, in theory, their shock troops. Scorpio is commonly compared to the Adamantine Arrow because of the martial nature of their magic — although the pylon seems intent on using magic with a disregard for Paradox that even diehard Arrow mages find inexplicable.
Scorpio patterns itself after a paramilitary unit, and its members are extraordinarily disciplined. The group typically targets lone mages and weak cabals; it often secures its victories through the advantage of surprise. The cabal conducts training on an ongoing basis to keep their skills finely honed.
Conflicts with Scorpio have only begun breaking out recently, leading local mages to wonder if the Seers are growing emboldened and perhaps intend to carve a larger niche for themselves somewhere in Boston.
The ranking mage in the pylon is John Law, an Obrimos mage with a well-known chip on his shoulder with regard to the Consilium.

Sanctum Size •••; Security ••••; Hallow ••
The mages of Scorpio Share a well-appointed sanctum in Boston’s South End, a former church building sold in the late ’80s by the Catholic Church to pay for law-suits. Not only is the structure solidly built, but the place has been equipped with extraordinarily technical security systems that make the building particularly difficult to break into.
The interior of the building has been entirely redone. Although it retains the stained-glass windows of the original structure, everything else about the place suggests a high-end law enforcement or military compound. Among other things, Scorpio keeps a small arsenal in the basement containing such implements as blocks of C4 explosive, automated assault rifles, grenade launchers and portable rocket launchers.
A minor (2-point) Hallow flows up inside, although the resonance has been fouled by the violent emotions of the members of Scorpio.
