Confessor Cabal

Under Marcion, the Black Hand redefined the roles of Confessors, replacing regular Militia with entire squads of Confessors. Confessor Cabals are squads of well armed and armored Brotherhood priests. These Cabals continue to inspire their fellow infantry, whose rate-of-fire and armor becomes improved. Confessors in Cabals retain their trademark hallucinogenic grenades and assault rifles, making them a more than a match for any basic infantry that their opposition can throw at them. Cabals can also "welcome" a Black disciple to lead their squad, giving them even more power than before. Finally, they can replace their standard-issue assault rifles with particle beam weapons (the T7), making them the most lethal basic infantry in the war (with the possible exception of the Awakened).
