In time, it became evident that their long charge of secretly controlling the City's power structure using Glyphs had caused the Keepers themselves to become corrupted by a bureacratic lust for power. With both the Pagans who had worshipped the Trickster and the majority of the Hammerites who had joined the Mechanists having suffered great blows to their numbers, the balance of power in the City had finally shifted to favor the more secretive Keepers. The Metal Age would also be recorded as the Second Dark Age. This was not to be, and the thief soon brought an end to Karras' plot, as well. Their leader, Father Karras, had constructed a mechanical eye replace the one the thief had lost, in the hopes that the Sneak Thief would aid the Mechanists in their mission to purge the land of all organic life. With the Trickster's defeat came a period known as The Metal Age, during which an extremist wing of the Hammerite order, known as the Mechanists, came to power. This sequence of events would become known as the First Dark Age. With the help of the Hammerite order, the thief proceeded to infiltrate the Trickster's lair and put an end to the Old God once and for all. Losing his eye to the Trickster's trap, the thief barely survived this encounter, thanks to the assistance of the Keepers. It was during the early part of his career that the thief became caught up in the schemes of the Old God known as the Trickster. Preferring to apply his unusual skills for personal gain, the thief turned to a life of crime rather than being inducted into the order. The man who would become known as the Sneak Thief was originally taught and trained by a secretive order known as the Keepers. The term Sneak Thief refers to the legendary master thief who lived within the old City, during the reign of House Bresling many centuries in the past.
