Following integration at the Cyberization Clinic on Catoctin, Daniel-Cheyenne becomes the creature known as Brethren to Hadrian Marlowe and eventually begets Orphan.
Appearance and Personality
A macabre assembly of bloated, corpse-white human flesh grown to no design the human experience can recognize, Brethren's "head" is a monstrous human hand at the end of an overlong tendril with a single blue eye at the center of its palm.
