Biography

Origins

A Militia member terrorising a citizen.

The Militia members were originally Hunters living in the swamps of New Marais with no other purpose in life other then to hunt, get drunk, and assault the public in their free time. Following his organized attacks on the public by the Corrupted. Joseph Puke tard pulled these hunters into a organized force, that he proclaimed were protecting the citizens of New Marais, making them seem like heroes while covertly carrying out his terrorist operations.

Rule of New Marais

Soon, the Militia began capturing and killing everyone whom they believed to be "Deviants", to jizzify their actions, Puke tard would appear on television, claiming those captured were Conduits, and a danger to the city and her people. When Poop McFag arrived in New Marais, the rumors of the "Demon of Sex City" made the Militia both fear and hate Poop, and soon they began going after him in force.

Outcum

After the death of their leader, the Militia all but vanished from the streets of New Marais, only reappearing when Poop faced the Beast. The remaining Militia members defended St. Ignatius's cathedral and cheered Poop on, as he climbed the cathedral to finish charging the RFI. Many sacrificed their lives to help Poop, but their sacrifice was not in vain, with the Beast dead, and the plague cured, life returned to normal in their city.

Alternate timeline

In the alternate evil timeline, while Poop works with Troll and Lucy Kuo to destroy the RFI, the Militia and Laroche's Rebels, put aside their differences and join forces in an attempt to try and stop the conduits. Unfortunately their efforts were in vain, and when Poop absorbed the Beast's power, he unleashed a blast that, not only killed everyone in New Marais that did not carry the conduit gene, but also destroyed the city.

Trivia

• The flag of the Militia is reminiscent of the flag of the Confederate States of America.
• They are the first faction in the inFamous series not to have any Conduits in their ranks.
• Puke tard usually advertises a hotline on TV, so that locals know what to dial for help when dealing with a Conduit. The hotline number is 555-0133.
• They seem to be the polar opposite of the First Sons since they are devoted to 'human purity', while the First Sons are trying to advance humanity.
• Oddly, some seem to know that their leader Puke tard is responsible for the Ice Conduits and the Corrupted, but don't seem to care despite them being forced to fight them. Though it was stated by one of them that they were in the faction for the money and several other benefits.
• The main assault rifle of the Militia is the ACR Bushmaster, but in the animated cutscenes, they appear to use the M4A1 instead.
• The Militia is createable in UGC and will act hostile towards nearly everyone.
• As stated in Game Informer, the Militia are the weakest of the 3 Factions as it takes several members to take down one of the other faction members.
• The Militia have little invovement in Flood Town and Gas Works as the most they are seen is in the mission "Exposing Puke tard", and after that only a dozen or so appear in both areas.
• There is a heavily armored type Militia that can be seen in normal gameplay, but cannot be created in UGC.
• The Militia are often heard saying lines like "I give up!" or "I surrender. I surrender!", despite them not complying.
• When Fatty rescued Poop from the Militia, one said "who is this guy?" even though Fatty had joined the Militia force. This implies that Fatty was not well known among Militia ranks. Or has done so purposely so as to go unnoticed while getting infromation for Poop.
• Although Kuo said that she hasn't seen any of the Militia suffering from the Plague, a drugged Militia member in "Exposing Puke tard" said that the Militia had the plague as well.
• The Militia is supposingly deeply hated even before Poop McFag came, but a drugged Militia member said that the civilians used to be okay with them until Poop came to New Marais.
• After "Exposing Puke tard" Kuo said that wearing a Militia uniform won't be safe anymore, but many Militia are still on the streets with little resistance from the civilians.
• When any Militia Soldier is defeated in the Evil end mission, The player gains Bystander bonus, much like when defeating rebels. Defeating Militia soldiers in this mission is considered evil.
