Adam Taurus was not a bad person. He believed that he was the blade of cruel justice, that he was the one that needed to fix what the humans had broken. Not by peace treaties and street movements, but by making humanity see them as equals.
If there was one thing that Adam had learned after all these years, it's that the only language that every creature understands is anger, violence, and resentment. If the humans can't understand the suffering they cause to the Faunas, then why should they offer them any mercy?

So much pain and abuse, and for what? So that the humans can thrive while the Faunas lick the dirt off their boots just to scrape by? This, is one of the many arguments that the Faunas use against humans politically, socially, and economically. And yet, every single one has been turned a blind eye.

And if they won't respond to reason, fact, or compensation, then the Faunas has no other choice but to use the one universal language, violence and resentment. If the humans shall not see them as equals out of respect, then it shall be out of fear. The humans saw the Faunas as monsters, so it is monsters they shall get.

And thus, the White Fang coup was initiated. Ghira Belladonna stepped down as the White Fang's head and Sienna Khan was made the new leader. Unlike Ghira, Sienna understood that humans couldn't be reasoned with. She understood what it meant for Faunas to attain true respect.

It meant fear.

The White Fang was weaponized. Instead of parading the streets with signs and flags, they armed themselves with weapons, dust, and whatever else could be used to unorthodoxly end a life.

The council tried to shut them down immediately. Threatening to cut off all supply to menagerie, but since Ghira Belladonna was no longer the leader, they couldn't directly punish his island because he wasn't involved. They were so desperate, they even attempted to secretly pass a bill that allowed Faunas brutality to ensue as long as the citizen had some sort of reason.

That bill nearly tore down the city of Vale. That was until Headmaster Ozpin stepped forward and threatened to cut off all ties with the council to Beacon. Of course, this would absolutely get the school shut down, but it also meant that their city would turn into Gotham.

With the council backed into a corner by rioters, Ozpin, and the White Fang, they surrendered and classified them as their own radical terrorist group. This victory meant that they were no longer bound to menagerie. Since they were now officially untouchable, they quickly made multiple branches across Remnant.

Now, more than ever, the White Fang can be the blade of cruel justice that the Faunas need. And by joining now, you can further the cause!

Adam: Is the speech too edgy?

Adam was with his lover, Blake Belladonna in the crimson forest. They were on a mission to intercept a SDC dust freighter, but had some time to spare because of a fuel delay. She was reading her 'literature' while listening.

Blake: I think it should tone down a bit on the human hate.

Adam: We're a human hate group.

Blake: That's not what the White Fang is.

Adam gave her a deadpan look.

Adam: Blake, why are we on this mission?

Blake: To steal dust.

Adam: What will we do with the stolen dust?

Blake: Supply the troops with better weaponry.

Adam: And why do they need better weaponry?

Blake: *sigh* For the anti-human hate crimes.

Adam: Exactly. We're a human hate group.

Blake: That's not what it should be!
