The Brotherhood of Kolkesburg is a far-right, Satero-nationalist paramilitary unit founded by Saterocian nationalist and Puocist Henri Morozov in 1982, however was then originally a political movement against Cascutian rebels amidst the violent Cascutian conflict. The organization operates outside of Saterocian law due to it technically not being part of the Saterocian military in any way. From its formation up until 2019, the organization was dubbed a 'personal army' of the Puoc regime, namely Andre Puoc and Georg Puoc, as both dictators used the organization to interfere in conflicts around the world, with both leaders heavily funding Henri Morozov.
In 1986, thanks to funding from Andre Puoc, Morozov successfully formed a militia part of the political movement in order to assist struggling Saterocian forces against Cascute rebels. Throughout the rest of the 1980s, it grew considerably in size and reached a peak of nearly 30,000 willing fighters by 1993, and mounting tensions between Sateroc and Denzal over the Hamburger Fence culminated in the 1993 Satero-Denzali border conflict in which the Brotherhood launched an incursion and assaulted Thres, leading to the five-day Battle of Thres. After a ceasefire was negotiated, the Brotherhood was pressured by Puoc to drastically decrease its membership from 30,000 to 10,000, which eventually led Morozov to transform the organization to a de facto mercenary organization which was allegedly used by the Puoc regime as a proxy to interfere in foreign conflicts. Throughout the 1990s to the late 2010s, the organization was hired by multiple foreign leaders and armies to participate in foreign wars on their behalf, such as in the Beatavic Civil War however was mostly used to fight in the Cascutian conflict.
In late 2015, after the death of Morozov, Naum Pavlavain succeeded him, and drastically reformed the organization's strategy and began recruiting soldiers in the Saterocian Armed Forces, growing to a force of nearly 20,000 by 2019. Around this time, Pavlavain withdrew a majority of the group's fighters from foreign conflicts, terminating numerous contracts in order to focus on the Cascutian conflict to therefore gain more funds from Georg Puoc. However, in 2019, during the 2019 Saterocian revolution, the group would switch sides and assist the National Unity Council in overthrowing Georg Puoc. There would be some friction between Pavlavain and the council however, as he strongly disagreed with the installment of a civilian government and the election of Jonrov Mornes. Despite this, they still received funds from his government in turn for them continuing to fight in Cascutia.
In 2023, Pavlavain and his forces once again switched sides at the outbreak of the 2023 Sateroc conflict, and would become infamous amongst international news headlines for committing some of the worst atrocities seen in the conflict so far. Despite this, he made peace with the SAF, and with the dissolution of the AUN, many of its former fighters made the decision to join the Brotherhood, more than doubling its size in just a few months.
