The Marauders are the descendants of Ultor scientists and miners from the Red Faction-era. Mutations from nanotech injections administered by Dr. Axel Capek caused them to become very violent.

The Marauders worship Capek as a god and have built many shrines dedicated to him and the Ultor corperation.
