The Virulent Seven

 are an elite unit of Special Forces, created to be used at the disposal of the Resistance For Freedom and then later the Unified New Republic. consist of the first seven apprentices of Joseph Everest VI whilst in the service of the Deian Guild of Los Angeles.

Overview
Two years after the death of their master, Alex Cardigan, Rose Walker, Caleb Diaz, René Archibald, Erlea Gomez, Carl Class and Hannah LeTraeq were invited to enroll in the Deian Academy due to each of them reaching rank 9 and 10 in their Guild. After becoming Knights, they formed a Special Task Force, or Special Forces unit, named "the Virulent Seven" with the mission of serving as elite soldiers at the discretion of the Resistance For Freedom and the Deian Order.

History
Each of the Virulent Seven were once Conduit criminals on the run from the Purist Empire, each of the seven eventually crossed paths with 24th generation Alpha Prime, Joseph Everest VI during his mission to obtain more powers in order to ready himself for his battle with Monstrosity and had their powers copied by him. In exchange of obtaining their power, Joseph offered each of them training through the Guild of Los Angeles to help better their own power and learn along the way with Joseph. Due to this immense training, they all became ten times more powerful then when they met Joseph, thus becoming seven of the most powerful Earth Human Conduits in the galaxy's history
