Description: The Cult of Aether is a group dedicated to worshipping the deific entity known as Aether; this worship tends to manifest itself in attempting to convert others into followers of Aether themselves or active hostility to individuals who don't submit to their beliefs. Members of the Cult of Aether tend only to form mass gatherings during CTA-040 events or upon recovering an anomaly related to the GoI.

The Cult of Aether recruits members through several methods; the most prominent method is psychological alteration through various means, most prominently CTA-040. The GoI also practices recruitment tactics consistent with several prominent Western religions. The least common method of recruitment is through ever-increasing bouts of torture until the subject fully submits to the beliefs held by the Cult of Aether.

Due to phenomena such as CTA-040, the Cult of Aether has many members within most countries that practice religious freedom; the total number of members within the GoI is currently unknown. In most cases, when a sect of the Cult of Aether attempts to establish a site of worship, it's shut down by Corporation intervention; however, in the event a sect grows too large for intervention to be possible, several members of MF-12-A12 are to be placed into the community to monitor and control the spread of the GoI.

As a result of having several conflicts of interest, the Cult of Aether and the Corporation hold a large amount of animosity between each other; this leads to high numbers of altercations between the Corporation and the GoI. The Cult of Aether often attempt to retrieve anomalies such as CTA-762 from containment through infiltrations and raids of Corporation facilities.
