Brother's Day was a domestic terrorist organization whose only known goal was to stop synthroids from overthrowing humanity. Titus Sweete was a high-ranking commander in the organization.

History[]

Brother's Day was an organization that wanted to prevent machinery from taking over. While the NSA was aware of their actions, it didn't seem aware of their end goal.[1] To maintain a low profile, they used the front of a charity that gave toys to children, while in reality, they smuggled weapons.

The NSA sent Zeta to replace their accountant Eugene Dolan and discover what he knew. During his investigation, he realized Dolan was unaware of Brother's Day's real nature and refused a standing order to assassinate him.[2] This was the trigger for Zeta refusing to serve as a killer, and the government was convinced he'd been captured and reprogrammed by Brother's Day for some unknown purpose.

Eventually, Brother's Day planned on destroying the government's highest synthoid lab, the Knossos. They threatened Marcus Edmund, a member of the Zeta Project, into posing as Eli Selig to obtain the Knossos' coordinates and then fool perimeter defenses around the Knossos. Zeta and Ro infiltrated the mission, posing as Edmund (posing as Selig) and Brother's Day member Curtis, in order to stop it from the inside - they failed, with Titus Sweete bombing Knossos and apparently killing Selig.[3]
