Lore
The Broker is an acolyte of the The Church of the TRUE EYE, a cult that worships a deity. He refers to it as "the family." He, Medkit, and Scythe work together for the cult. The Broker performs gear laundering[6] which involves the murder of other demons.[7] Whatever money he makes goes towards the cult.[8] Ban Hammer has hunted him down and arrested him multiple times, only for him to escape.[9] Ban Hammer has tried executing The Broker, but failed.[10]
