In combat, soldiers will run up to an opponent with armed grenades in a suicide attack that result in devastating damage to their surrounding environment. Other times they will abandon cover completely to fire on their opponent.Ĭircle Soldiers commit ritualistic suicide like other Unitology members in previous Dead Space games, by slitting their throats, rather than stabbing themselves in the forehead.

Often, they will attempt to hide behind something but still leave a part of their body visible or leave cover in the middle of combat. Circle members encountered by Isaac Clarke do not appear to possess proficient combat training - only basic training, as they are slow to aim, stand tall in the middle of firefights, and do not use cover effectively. Most members of the Circle adorn their apparel with Marker Symbols in an apparent show of their dedication to the message of the Marker and Unitology. The Circle is shown to possess considerable resources, its members are well armed and equipped and command a small fleet of dropships which facilitate their propagation against EarthGov. Members of the Circle are fiercely fanatic, zealous in their loyalty to both the Church and their leader. It isn't clear if there are any remaining Unitologists who do not belong to the Circle as of 2514. Eventually succeeding in Dead Space 3 as the Bretheren Moons are seemingly about to devour the Earth.Īll of that carnage over the years, just because one man 300 years ago tried to warn everyone.According to one of Danik's logs, the Circle has membership that numbers in the millions. Plus, over time the government's own creation would be its downfall as the Unitologists would continually try to trigger Convergence. Ironically, this also allowed the Church to be able to open its arms to anyone with a passing grudge against the government, allowing them to commit horrible terror attacks with ease and at short notice.

Now Unitologists believe their savior was assassinated after his big proclamation at Washington DC and that the EarthGov should never be trusted. This allowed them to be formed into a malleable, dogmatic structure over the next 300 years as the true events were warped and misled until they turned into something completely different. As well as solidify the Unitologists under a Martyr figurehead. In the end, the death of Michael Altman was a plan enacted by the EarthGov military to cover up their attempts to weaponize the Markers effects.
