The Brethren were a group of monks in Scotland, that also acts as a cult worshipping the Wolf. They could be recognised by their bald heads and brownish-orange robes. They were led by Father Angelo. (TV: Tooth and Claw)

They worshipped the wolf, chanting: "Lupus magnus est, lupus fortis est, lupus deus est" - "The wolf is great, the wolf is strong, the wolf is god". (PROSE: Aliens and Enemies [+]Loading...{"page":"89","chaptname":"The Werewolf","1":"Aliens and Enemies (reference book)"})

History[[edit] | [edit source]]

The Brethren practised martial arts, though they were not above shooting people. They might also have trained the werewolf to fear mistletoe.

In 1540, the Brethren discovered the Lupine Wavelength Haemovariform's crashed spaceship and decided to try to help it. They turned away from their God and started to worship the Wolf. They provided host bodies and food for the growing werewolf for over three hundred years. In 1879, they also arranged events for Queen Victoria to be bitten to start "the Empire of the Wolf". This plot was foiled by the Tenth Doctor and Rose Tyler, and both Father Angelo and the Wolf were killed. (TV: Tooth and Claw)
