Lore & Background

Unlike the overt rebellion of the Banditos, the Circle operates through subtlety, using coded messages and symbols to communicate. Their name, 'Reisdro,' is a cryptic term that fans have linked to themes of reversal and hidden knowledge, suggesting their purpose is to undo or counteract the propaganda of the Bishops.
In Their Own Story
In the dim glow of a flickering streetlamp, a figure in a dark coat slips a folded note into a crack in the wall. The note bears a single symbol—a circle with an arrow pointing inward. Hours later, another hand retrieves it, eyes scanning the coded message. The Reisdro Circle has moved again, their whispers threading through the city like a quiet current, unseen but undeniable.

Did You Know?
- The name 'Reisdro' is a deliberately scrambled anagram, with fans decoding it as 'Riders' or 'Rosier'—though neither fits neatly, suggesting the band may have layered multiple meanings into the word.
- The Circle is often associated with the color blue, a stark contrast to the oppressive yellow of Dema—a color choice that may symbolize clarity, cold logic, or the calm before a storm.
- They are believed to have been active since the 'Trench' era, but only emerged from the shadows during 'Scaled and Icy,' implying their influence was always there, just harder to spot.
- Their symbol, a circle with an inward arrow, is thought to represent introspection or hidden knowledge—a visual cue that the truth lies not in outward rebellion, but in turning the gaze inward.
