History

Shadowspire was set up by Baron Blitzkrieg, the Chief of Shadows, during World War II. In the decades after the war, they had infiltrated governments, law enforcement and intelligence agencies across the Americas. They operated in the shadows for a long time, until they tried to topple the US Government in the 90s with "Operation Borgia".

Shadowspire set up a visible criminal organization in South America. Though not dealing in drugs themselves, they provided cartels with anything they needed. Whether it be weapons, technology or intelligence, they had it. Despite the criminal nature of their operations, they put their logo on everything. Ties, knives, cars, soldiers - the black and red diamond was ever present. They were ruthless to those who opposed them and those who betrayed them. At the same time, they provided the same services to the governments fighting them, playing them against each other for continued profits.

As part of Operation Borgia, they infected key figures in the Presidential line of succession and killed the Secretary of the Treasury in Mexico City - allowing their stooge, the undersecretary, to take a key position in government. The virus and violence would fan existing tensions and plunge the country in a new civil war.

The mercenary Slade Wilson encountered the operation and with help of Wintergreen and Sgt. Steel managed to save President Clinton. Unfortunately, a bombing of the Capitol Building did succeed leading to the deaths of several congress members.
