Character from Bride by Ali Hazelwood
A shadowy faction that operates across species lines — insurgents whose idea of loyalty involves assassination attempts and destabilizing the fragile peace everyone else is trying to maintain.
The Loyals are what happens when people who feel betrayed by the Collateral system decide to do something about it. They're a cross-species insurgent group that views the current interspecies peace as fundamentally corrupt — and they're not entirely wrong, which makes them harder to dismiss. Their methods, however, include assassination, sabotage, and the kind of destabilization that gets innocent people killed. They represent the cost of the Collateral system — the people who were traded, the families who were broken, the individuals who looked at the political machinery and decided that burning it down was preferable to being fed through it again.
The Loyals don't have a uniform or visible markers — they're embedded within all three species' populations. Their members look like ordinary Vampyres, Weres, or Humans until they act. Identification comes through behavior, not appearance.
