The Night Brigade consider themselves to be an army, and wear full military uniforms, despite the fact that their commander holds the title of the [[Admiral]].{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}} They are well-known throughout the [[cosmere]] as being brutally efficient, but at the same time, precise in their destruction, giving them a terrifying reputation. While they've wrecked entire planets, they do not go out of their way to pillage and burn thoughtlessly.{{book ref|tsm|27}} They -- or at least some of their members -- have some affection for Threnodite offshoot cultures, calling them "cousins".{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}

 

While they can presumably be hired, the Night Brigade has their own pursuits -- namely, the chase after [[Nomad]] and the [[Dawnshard]] he once held.{{book ref|tsm|10}} They have been hunting him ceaselessly for decades.{{book ref|tsm|10}}{{book ref|tsm|40}} Like all others who seek to possess a Dawnshard, the Night Brigade have been hiding this, despite the fact that there is already an incredible bounty on Nomad's head.{{book ref|tsm|45}} It is unclear if they were the ones to have posted the bounty.

|They’re the only army I know that makes you keep on fighting after you’ve died.

The Night Brigade possesses the knowledge necessary to use [[Hemalurgy]]. They are aware of the cosmere's secrets, including the [[Dawnshard]]s and what they're capable of.{{book ref|tsm|28}}

Very little is known about the formation of the Night Brigade. There was once a group on [[Threnody]] that sought to free their homeland from the [[Evil]]; it is possible that it might have ties to the mercenary company.{{wob ref|12720}} What is known is that the Brigade was formed of Threnodites, and has somehow gained the ability to command the [[shade]]s. At some point, they have also acquired a spaceship, and a reputation for brutality.{{book ref|tsm|27}}

After Nomad arrived on [[Canticle]], the Night Brigade appeared only hours later, flying into the planet's orbit and beginning their search.{{book ref|tsm|27}} A group of Night Brigade's members, including staff seargant [[Truth-Is-Waiting]] and the [[Admiral]] herself, descended upon the surface. They stole one of the local house ships in order to blend in with the people of the Canticle and question them as to Nomad's whereabouts. Before they were able to locate him, Nomad managed to skip to another planet, eluding them again. However, during the same search, Truth-Is-Waiting discovered that the planet held a [[Scadrial|Scadrian]] research outpost, which could be questioned for information.{{book ref|tsm|epilogue}}

 

 

* In early drafts, the group was called the "Dusk Brigade"; however, due to an error of transcription, this was mistaken to be the "Dust Brigade" for many years. Brandon eventually renamed it to the "Night Brigade" due to the fact that he already had a character named [[Sixth of the Dusk|Dusk]] in the cosmere.{{wob ref|15573}}

* The organization as a whole is a reference to [[wikipedia:The Black Company|The Black Company]].{{wob ref|15573}}

* Despite the name, the Night Brigade has no meaningful connection to [[Midnight Essence|Night Aether]].{{wob ref|15575}}
