Wort Blarg Clan

The Wort Blarg Clan (WBC) is a religious cult of aliens that lived in the cave system below Blood Gulch. Believed to be the native inhabitants of the canyon, the WBC was opposed to the humans that lived there from time to time. Upon the arrival of the 3rd Generation, the WBC plotted to wipe out all of the humans and reclaim their native land.

The WBC greatly resembled the Covenant, with a mix of different aliens such as Elites, Brutes, Grunts, Hunters and Jackals.

 Brief History

Just days after the beginning of the 3rd Generation, the humans' short and long-range communications were blocked (this led the Splinters to believe their simulations were already dead and why they activated a failsafe) by the WBC using a jammer in an underground cave temple and another jammer in an ancient alien artifact that was left in the entrance to the caves mysteriously. The humans were quick to figure out that the artifact, which was a gravity hammer, was related to the communication issues. After a while, human doctors researched the hammer and the WBC sent them an ominous warning, threatening extermination if they didn't leave the canyon. The humans, not really having much choice, decided to fight. In a massive battle against the WBC, the humans held off waves of aliens and infiltrated the caves to seal them. However, the WBC hadn't been fully neutralized.

Once the scientists disabled the jammer in the alien artifact, the humans regained short-range communications and continued working towards regaining long-range communications. Red Team discovered Stan, a straggler from the battle, who offered to help the humans in exchange for his life and freedom. Stan was granted this, and he revealed a rather cliche prophecy that involved sacrificing the Chosen One to disable the Clan's temple and regain communications. The humans searched among themselves for the Chosen One, someone who fit the description in the Prophecy, settling on the possibility of it being Ziggy.

The humans led a mission with Ziggy and Stan down to the Clan's temple, keeping Ziggy in the dark about the sacrifice he was supposed to make. When it came time, Stan showed a sudden change of character and forcibly cut off Ziggy's finger to sample it to the Temple. This is when Stan figured out Ziggy was actually not the chosen one, for the Temple rejected the sacrifice. Ziggy was set aside and Stan realized he was the Chosen One himself, and made the sacrifice. The temple and jammer were finally disabled, and the mission's team fought their way back out of the caves. This crippled the WBC incredibly, but did not finish them. The caves are still filled with aliens from the clan and the temple is still heavily guarded, although it is not as holy as it once was. The bitter creatures still fight any humans that dare go down into the caves.
