Of Brethen... And Betrayers is the eighth mission in Thief: Deadly Shadows. Garrett sneaks into the Keeper Compound to find information that implicates First Keeper Orland, find clues about Keeper Artemus' whereabouts and investigate the cause of Intepreter Caduca's death.
Overview[]
Sabotaging the gigantic mechanism stops the clock, but also causes the entire clocktower to collapse. Meanwhile Interpreter Caduca is found murdered. Orland points his finger at Garrett and fixes up a trial at the Keeper Compound. After Garrett is found guilty and is taken away, Orland arranges his escape as an excuse to send the Keeper Enforcers, an elite unit of telepathically connected assassins, after him. While on the run, Garrett is contacted by a group of friendly Keepers. They mention that 'the rubble (of the clocktower) forms an arrow, and it points directly at the Keeper Library'. Until Garrett is found, no one is allowed to enter nor leave the Compound. Orland has used a 'Binding Glyph' to seal every glyph door in the whole city until the Enforcers bring him Garrett's corpse. To replace Caduca, he plans to promote Gamall to the position of Interpreter. Garrett believes that Orland is the 'Brethren and Betrayer', so he returns to the Compound to seek evidence of Orland's guilt. In Orland's office in the Keeper Library, there is a secret tunnel connecting it and the Compound.
Briefing[]
"Orland's tunnel was right where I was told it would be. I haven't been in the Keeper Compount since my trial. It's a sprawling complex, right in the heart of the city, hidden by Glyphs. Orland has the Compound on alert, so they'll be armed and ready for intruders... ME that is. So much for working together.
I know I didn't kill Caduca, but someone did, and my money's on Orland. He fixed the trial and sent the assassins after me, and the fallen clocktower points right to his office... "Brethren and Betrayer" suddenly makes sense. But suspicions aren't enough, so tonight I'll do some snooping. And if a little Keeper wealth end up in my pockets... all the better.
Orland's place is on the top floor no surprise, he's always liked looking down on people. Artemus has a room near the dormitories; I should search there, too. And I'd better check the scene of Caduca's murder. One last thing - the Keeper Council meets tonight. If I can stay awake, I might learn something."

Debriefing[]
"I found more than I bargained for: A hideous old woman who makes statues walk... who is out for my blood and knows me by name. Orland doesn't seem to have a clue, so I don't think he's my man after all. Artemus didn't leave me much to go on either. I managed to escape the ambush, but the Keepers still think I'm the enemy. In fact I only know one person who might be able to help me: A Hammerite named Inspector Drept."
Secrets[]
The outcome of the Keeper Council meeting, which takes place at the beginning of the mission, can be altered by removing one or both of the council members situated on the north side of the council. If only one council member is removed (e.g., by blackjacking them), the outcome of the first vote—to have a guard placed near Caduca's chambers—will be 'no'. If both council members are removed, the answer to the second vote—to move the valuable books to the Hall of Scribes—will also be 'no'. Otherwise, both outcomes will be 'yes'.
Easter Eggs[]
Trivia[]
- The copy of Imbris Analects in the Elder Library will vanish if the Keeper Council agrees to move books to the Hall of Scribes, but if it is stolen beforehand a duplicate will still appear in the Hall of Scribes. Making a total of 102% loot for this mission.
