The '''Black Hand''' is a [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Private_military_company mercenary faction] appearing in [[Just Cause]], [[Just Cause 3]], and [[Just Cause 4]].

**[[Black Hand Statues]].
==Just Cause==
 
The Black Hand are President [[Salvador Mendoza]]'s foreign mercenaries (officially the "foreign security specialists"). They wear black uniforms and all their vehicles are either black, or a combination of black and dark gray. See also: [[Faction colors]].
 
 
{{Spoiler}}
 
 
The Black Hand are seen for the first time in the mission [[River of Blood]], where two of their [[Pequod - Harpoon PC 350]] patrol [[boats]] are guarding the [[Quayside loading area]].
 
 
:"''The Black Hand? What the hell are they doing here?''" - [[Tom Sheldon]] during the mission [[River of Blood]]. The first mention of the Black Hand in game.
 
 
After the mission [[Guadalicano Choo Choo]] the Black Hand will replace the [[San Esperito Police Department]] in [[Settlements in San Esperito|village]] [[Liberation|liberations]]. They have better equipment than the police and send in more and better helicopters. While the police usually equip themselves with small arms like the [[Harker 357 Sawback]] revolvers and rarely use [[Grenades]], the Black Hand are almost the opposite. Vehicles with [[Mounted Guns]] are also seen a lot more during the liberations. At higher [[Heat]] levels, the Black Hand will get involved in pursuing Rico.

==Just Cause 3==
 
In [[Medici]] the Black Hand have been upgraded with lots of body armor. Their uniform has a black and red color scheme to it and they are authorized to use any [[Medici Military]] vehicle available if required. Judging by their accents, they appear to be either Australian or South African. They can take more damage than the military.
 
 
[[Insula Fonte]] does not have them, and they can be only encountered at military installations in [[Insula Dracon]] and [[Insula Striate]]. Unlike the [[Medici Military]] and [[D.R.M.]], Black Hand units will never appear during heat, unless the player is at [[Insula Lacrima]] or [[Scolio]]. Their presence on Insula Dracon and Insula Striate might be limited, but they do have a larger, more significant presence at Lacrima and Scolio.
 
 
Units that work specifically for the [[eDEN Corporation]] can be found guarding [[eDEN Extraction Site Alpha]], [[eDEN Extraction Site Bravo]], and the [[eDEN Airship]].
 
 
{{Spoiler}}
 
 
The Black Hand are introduced to the player during the mission [[Three's Company]], where [[Tom Sheldon]] describes them as mercenaries who work for [[Di Ravello]] in exchange for some [[Bavarium]]. As a continuity error (in fact the first of its kind in the [[Just Cause game series]]), [[Rico]] has no idea who they are. This was probably done because Just Cause is a bit underplayed so the average Just Cause 3 player would not know they existed at one point in the series before.
 
 
According to the [[Di Ravello tapes]], Di Ravello hired the Black Hand as an elite private military force to assist in the security of his own bases and prisons, to help train his own military, and to provide a role model for all Medician military forces.
 
 
The Black Hand are seen working for the [[eDEN Corporation]] in the [[Sky Fortress]] DLC. However, those units will only bother to shoot at Rico if he already has [[Heat]].
 
 
The Black Hand became the main antagonist in the [[Mech Land Assault]] DLC, and their faction is expanded with the introduction of two new NPCs, new structures and equipment, new vehicles, and the new skull insignia. The DLC also reveals that the Black Hand have a leader, or high-ranking individual whom the other units answer to.
 
 
The Black Hand return as the main antagonist in the [[Bavarium Sea Heist]] DLC. A former eDEN Corporation research facility called the "[[Stingray]]" has been taken over by the mercenary group, and is guarded by the full might of the Black Hand's fleet. The facility is located out in the middle of the ocean, west of [[Insula Dracon]] and is equipped with a weapon that is capable of manipulating and controlling lightning.
 
 
===Projects===
 
[[Storming the Hive]], the final mission of the [[Mech Land Assault]] DLC, reveals that the Black Hand were secretly working on something called the "Global Change Project", but no further details about it came to light (see [[Cut game content from Just Cause 3]]).
 
 
Some [[Insula Lacrima]] locations, like the [[Unnamed port at N 40 52.250 E 5 35.700]], have some Black Hand shipping containers. Oddly, those containers have "Global ''Exchange'' Project" written on them instead of ''Change'', almost as if there was a development error. This can be explained by there being both a "Global Change Project" and "Global Exchange Project" in the works.
 
 
===Quotes (JC3)===
 
All four types of Black Hand NPCs (except the Warden) have the same voice and have the potential to say all these quotes, but it is most common to hear the Aegis speaking, while the other three, (Ghost, Titan, and Pilot,) will largely stay silent during combat. They talk with a robotic voice, probably a voice changer to mask their identity.
 
 
The following quotes are with no heat.
 
*"''Citizen, if you do not leave, I will be required to eliminate you.''" - When [[Rico]] arrives at a [[Heat|restricted area]].
 
*"''Lower your weapon citizen, now.''" - When aiming at them without [[Heat]] and outside of a restricted area.

*"''The insurgent has a tank!''" - When Rico uses an armored vehicle.
 
*"''Warning, insurgent has heavy armour!''" - When Rico uses an armored vehicle.
 
*"''Get back, it's about to blow!''" - When a vehicle or a grenade is about to explode.
 
*"''I'm hit!''" - When shot successfully.

===Discussion quotes (JC3)===
 
It has been reported that although almost never heard, they do actually have discussion lines, similar to how [[The Rebellion]] soldiers can talk to each other in a car.
 
 
To hear these, the player has to somehow arrange, or find, a situation where a Black Hand soldier is in the same car as a [[D.R.M.]], or [[Medici Military]] soldier. It would then be a good idea to block the road with another vehicle.
 
 
'''Actual quotes are needed.'''
 
 
Reportedly they mention:
 
*Something about [[Bavarium]].
 
*They don't like the [[D.R.M.]] and think they're fools.
 
*Something about the amount of Black Hand in [[Medici]].
 
*The HQ apparently doesn't like them being in a group, or something.
 
*Something about [[Rico]] and [[The Rebellion]].
 
 
===Unit types (JC3)===
 
There are five types of Black Hand units in [[Just Cause 3]], with a fourth and fifth type added in the [[Mech Land Assault]] [[Downloadable content for Just Cause 3|DLC]]. The unit type names are known from the "The art of Just Cause 3" book that came with the collectors edition of the game. Also, [[Eden]] asks if [[Rico]] is afraid of ghosts before sending a few "ghost" soldiers after you in the mission [[Taking Control]].
 
 
There is also a unique variant that is only seen in certain cutscenes which could be some kind of commander.
 
 
See the bottom section "Counters" for good ways to defeat these five enemies.
 
 
'''Aegis''' units are the most common of Black Hand soldiers and are usually the front line combatants when the Black Hand are in conflict. They are amongst the most elite, highly trained, and well-equipped soldiers in the entire world. In the vanilla game, they can only ever be seen using the [[CS Predator]] assault rifle, and they only appear at certain bases.
 
 
In [[Mech Land Assault]], the Aegis trooper becomes much more common, also dominating the [[Heat]] level on [[Lacrima]]. They still mainly use the [[CS Predator]], but Aegis troopers can also be seen driving the [[Pavouk U-15]], effectively filling the role of a biker. These bikers can be seen wielding the [[Prizrak U4]]. There have also been additions of Aegis troopers as rocket infantry, wielding the [[UVK-13]] as their primary weapon, and switching to the [[U-55S Pozhar]] when approached, similar to Medici Military RPG soldiers. In the [[Bavarium Sea Heist]] DLC, they are also pilots of helicopters even if the [[Mech Land Assault]] is installed. These pilot troopers only use the [[U-55S Pozhar]] for self defense. They are also paratroopers which can be seen when liberating Lacrima.
 
 
In [[Sky Fortress]], the Aegis troopers can be found on board the [[eDEN Airship]], wielding the [[Bavarium Splitter]] and donning the white and blue colors of the [[eDEN Corporation]]. They have been hired to assist operations on board the eDEN Airship and additionally to provide security.
 
 
'''Ghost''' units are the next most common Black Hand solder after the Aegis. In the vanilla game, they are only seen wielding the [[CS Wraith 225R]]. Presumably, judging by training, weapons, and performance in combat, these can be considered the most highly trained of all Black Hand soldiers. Ghost units that wield the [[CS Wraith 225R]], are very agile and trained in the art of dodging bullets, and will often dive, spin, and run during combat in an effort to reduce their incoming hits.
 
 
In [[Mech Land Assault]], the Ghosts can now be seen filling the role of sniper, wielding the [[USV 45 Sokol]] against Rico. These sniper Ghosts are often seen inside guard towers but can also be found on the ground. If approached, the Ghost sniper will switch from his Sokol to the [[U-55S Pozhar]] and engage Rico with the sidearm. Ghost snipers do not engage in the same bullet-dodging maneuvers that the Wraith-wielding Ghosts do, making them much easier to eliminate in combat. Wraith-wielding Ghosts also make a return in the DLC, now appearing during [[Heat]], and still appearing at Black Hand bases.
 
 
In [[Sky Fortress]], Ghosts wielding the Wraith can be seen once during the mission [[Taking Control]], on board the [[eDEN Airship]]. Like the Aegis, they can also be seen donning the colors of the [[eDEN Corporation]].
 
 
'''Titan''' units are the muscle of the Black Hand infantry, being the toughest soldiers in the game with the most health. They wield the [[Urga Vulkan]] minigun against Rico, which can kill him in seconds. While Titan units wear the most body armor, they are also uncommon troops to encounter in combat. They can be seen reliably in front of Di Ravello's meeting area in the capital, guarding the entrance. When they are seen they make for a very tough enemy to eliminate. Presumably, with their heavy weapons, the Titan's role could also be assault tactics or anti-aircraft. They can survive multiple bullets, wasting entire clips. They can take 3 grenades, and survive point-blank RPG's.
 
 
In [[Mech Land Assault]], the Titan makes a return but is not seen wielding any new weapons, unlike the Aegis or Ghost. It is unknown if they appear during [[Heat]].
 
 
In [[Sky Fortress]], they can be seen on board the eDEN Airship like the Aegis, also sporting the eDEN Corporation color scheme on their armor. Unlike the Aegis, they do not get a new weapon and instead keep their miniguns for combat engagements.
 
 
'''Pilot''' units are only seen in the [[Mech Land Assault]] expansion pack. These are the vehicle operators of the Black Hand, and are also equipped with a [[U-55S Pozhar]] sidearm for self-defense. They can be seen driving [[Mechs]], driving the [[CS Odjur]], commanding the [[CS Powerrun 77]], and flying the [[Urga Postolka]] and [[CS Navajo]]. Additionally, one can be found manning the mounted gun of an [[Urga Szturm 63A]], but only during the Hold the Fort phase of the [[Nebio Sud Detention Camp]], strangely. Every other mounted gunner is an Aegis.
 
 
'''Wardens''' are added in the Mech Land Assault expansion pack, and serve as a boss that must be defeated in order to liberate a detention camp. They are amongst the toughest enemies in the game, equipped with the [[Bavarium Splitter]] if Sky Fortress is installed and the [[Urga Vdova 89]] without Sky Fortress, and almost as much body armor to rival the Titan in terms of health. They appear only once [[Rico]] has completed enough detention camp tasks, often flanked by two Ghosts.
 
 
The Warden is the commanding officer in charge of prisons, and seem to wear riot-style gear. They also command all Black Hand forces stationed at the prison. It is unknown how a Warden is selected, perhaps from the most promising of Aegis or Ghost troopers. Wardens also seem to be female, judging by bodily structure and voice.
 
 
====Counters====
 
*The Aegis trooper, while having a lot of health, tends to stay still and are vulnerable to Rico's grapple-kick which can knock them over and allow you to eliminate them safely.
 
*The Ghost trooper is probably the hardest of the Black Hand troopers because of their difficulty to hit, but if you manage to get a successful grapple hit on them, you can kick them and eliminate them safely while they're on the ground. This does not apply to the sniper variant.
 
*The Titan is the most difficult of the Black Hand soldiers, but being slow-moving, they are vulnerable to grenades and explosives. If you can find a [[Capstone FH155]], they will prove very effective against them. Additionally, if a minigun is available, you can fight fire with fire. A headshot from the [[CS110 Archangel]] can also kill a titan in one hit.
 
*The Wardens, added in the [[Mech Land Assault]] DLC, have almost as much health as the Titan, but suffer from the same slow speed and vulnerability as the Aegis. [[Grappling]] them can be the best course of action. Additionally, one can place a GE-64 explosive charge on the door of their barracks and detonate it when they walk outside.
 
 
===Drones===
 
'''Main article:''' [[List of eDEN drone types]].
 
 
In [[Mech Land Assault]], the Black Hand have acquired and reprogrammed combat drones from [[eDEN Corporation]] installations. They've repainted them to show Black Hand colors, and will use them in combat against [[Rico]] or other enemies.
 
 
====Light Drone====
 
The Light Drone is the smallest drone available to the Black Hand, equipped with a single minigun, and a small body. Being the lightest of the three drones, it is also the fastest and most agile. They can be seen pursuing Rico or covering the air above Black Hand bases. Additionally, they have a Black Hand insignia on their heads.
 
 
====Eviction Drone====
 
The [[Eviction drone]] is the big brother to the Light Drone, being equipped with missiles as well as a [[Urga Vulkan|Minigun]]. It is a larger drone, making it slower, less agile, and presenting a larger target, but it has more armor and offensive power. It is only seen during high [[Heat]].
 
 
====Suppression Drone====
 
The [[Suppression drone]] is used by the Black Hand for defensive purposes. Visually a large turret, the Suppression Drone is equipped with dual miniguns for anti-personnel, and missile pods on the back for anti-aircraft and anti-vehicle. Thankfully for the player, the missile pods are very inaccurate when attacking [[Rico]] in the air, but the miniguns can be very damaging if you let them. This drone only appears in the mission [[Storming the Hive]].
 
 
===Drone counters===
 
====Light drone====
 
The best way to counter a Light Drone is to use the Grappler to tether it to the ground, then reel in, making it crash. Alternatively, the player can tether it to other drones, killing two birds with one stone. If that is impractical for the situation, small-arms fire will bring it down pretty well.
 
 
====Eviction drone====
 
Like the Light Drone, enough small-arms fire will bring it down, but the best way is to place a [[GE-64]] charge on the head. [[Grappling]] this drone is impractical, as you'll become a sitting duck to its missiles.
 
 
====Suppression drone====
 
The best way to destroy a Suppression drone is to place a GE-64 charge on its head. If you can't get close to it, use an explosive special weapon.
 
 
{{Endspoiler}}
 
 
===Weapons (JC3)===
 
*[[CS Predator]] - Most common assault rifle for the Aegis.
 
*[[U-39 Plechovka]] - Wielded by the Aegis in a few missions, like [[A Long and Dangerous Road]].
 
*[[CS Wraith 225R]] - Wielded by the Ghost infantry.
 
*[[Urga Vulkan]] - Wielded by the Titan.
 
 
===Weapons (Mech Land Assault)===
 
In addition to the above weapons, the Black Hand can now also be encountered with the following:
 
*[[CS44 Peacebringer]] - Wielded by Aegis bikers driving the Pavouk U-15. Note that this is very rare to see.
 
*[[Prizrak U4]] - Wielded by Aegis bikers driving the [[Pavouk U-15]].
 
*[[U-55S Pozhar]] - Wielded by Aegis rocket troopers, Ghost snipers, and the Pilot.
 
*[[USV 45 Sokol]] - Wielded by Ghost snipers.
 
*[[UVK-13]] - Wielded by Aegis rocket troopers.
 
*[[Urga Vdova 89]] - Wielded by the Warden if [[Sky Fortress]] is not installed.
 
*[[Bavarium Splitter]] - Wielded by the Warden if [[Sky Fortress]] is installed.
 
 
===Vehicles (JC3)===
 
They don't have a color scheme to call their own and none of their own vehicles are ever seen, but they seem to be authorized to commandeer any vehicle in service with the [[Medici Military]]. During combat at the bases and mines they protect, they've been seen using the[[Weimaraner W3]], [[CS Baltdjur]], [[Stria Obrero]] and the [[Urga Szturm 63A]]. In the [[Mech Land Assault]] DLC, the Black Hand use their own military vehicles, and have their own decals and paint.
 
 
===Vehicles ([[Mech Land Assault]])===
 
Mech Land Assault adds a small variety of Black Hand-owned vehicles that can be seen and driven on the island of [[Insula Lacrima]]. Their colour scheme is mostly black with an orangish red. Light grey can also be seen on Black Hand vehicles, but not all of them.
 
*[[Anvil omni directional industrial mech]].
 
*[[Corvette]].
 
*[[CS Navajo]].
 
*[[CS Odjur]].
 
*[[CS Powerrun 77]].
 
*[[Custode 29]].
 
*[[Pavouk U-15]].
 
*[[Stria Campania 115]]
 
*[[U41 Ptakojester]].
 
*[[Urga Hroch]].
 
*[[Urga Postolka]].
 
*[[Urga Szturm 63A]].
 
*[[Weimaraner W3]].
 
All of these vehicles except the [[U41 Ptakojester]], [[Urga Hroch]], and [[Stria Campania 115]] can be encountered during [[Heat]]. The Ptakojester drops paratroopers during the Hold the Fort phase of prison liberation, the Hroch only appears in the mission [[Storming the Hive]], and the [[Stria Campania 115]] appears in the [[Mech Arena]] activity.

==Trivia==
 
==Trivia==
  +
*[[Just Cause 2]] is the only game in the [[Just Cause game series]] where the Black Hand doesn't appear.
===Just Cause 1===
 
  +
**However, there is a character model in [[Just Cause 2 Multiplayer]] that erroneously states the elite Panauan secret serviceman model as "Black Hand". This character model does have badges with a black fist, but it looks completely different from anything known to represent the Black Hand.
*The Black Hand use practically every [[San Esperito Military]] vehicle that is armed, from vehicles having only [[Vehicle mounted weapons|mounted guns]] ([[MV]], [[Stinger GP]], [[Rotor industries ATRV]]) to vehicles having [[Vehicle mounted weapons|machine guns and missiles]] ([[Harland series armoured vehicles|Harland]] and [[Ballard series armored vehicles|Ballard]] series vehicles plus attack helicopters). So far, the only armed vehicles that the Black Hand don't employ are the [[Triton - patroller]] and the [[Triton Broadsider]]. However, the Black Hand does seem to have only the [[Pequod - Harpoon PC 350]] as its naval support.
 
  +
**It is possible that the game developers may have at some point considered adding the Black Hand into JC2 with that logo, but that's only speculation.
**On that note, the only Black Hand vehicles that aren't armed can only be seen in [[Streets of Fire]].
 
  +
**In the introduction of [[Just Cause 4]], the leader of the Black Hand, [[Gabriela Morales]], reveals in a briefing to [[Oscar Espinosa]] that despite their non-involvement, the Black Hand were actually aware of the events of Just Cause 2 and Rico's involvement in the nation of [[Panau]].
*Sometimes on rare occasions, you might be able to find a Black Hand [[Stinger GP]] in a sidemission that asks for an [[San Esperito Military|Army]] Stinger GP to be hijacked. This would be before [[River of Blood]]. Another odd thing is that the driver and passenger seem to be only capable of being killed by a vehicle running over them.
 
  +
*This also makes [[Pandak "Baby" Panay]] the only antagonist to have never enlisted their services.
*It is possible that some of them can be deserters, but they would show themselves only in sidemissions.

**Though, as seen in [[Mercenaries Must Die]], he had hired an independent foreign mercenary who was only to serve as an adviser to the anti-gang unit of the [[Panau Military]].
*During a cut-scene in [[Dismissed Without Honors]], green-capped soldiers can be seen wielding [[Haswell Gen2 Vindicator]]s. This is the only time you will find such a thing. During liberations and missions, they can only be seen using [[Fleisher AR-5 Blizzard]]s.
 
 
===Just Cause 3, Mech Land Assault, and Bavarium Sea Heist===
 
*There is a symbol on the Titan's left shoulder that resembles an uppercase Q. This is not the their official Just Cause 3 logo, but it might be a secondary logo.
 
*The Black Hand always consider Rico as a citizen without heat and will give him fair warning whenever he enters a "restricted area" rather than simply open fire.
 
*It is possible to find Black Hand Aegis and Titans at police stations in Just Cause 3.
 
*All Black Hand soldiers have the same robotic voice. This includes the female Wardens as well as the other infantry, and Black Hand dispatchers. The only reason it may seem that the Aegis is the only one, is because they're the most talkative.
 
**According to dialogue in [[The Heist Begins]], the robotic voices from Black Hand units are a result of a standard issue voice modulator.
 
***Upon close inspection, this modulator seems to be visible on the Aegis.
 
***In fact, during this mission, Rico is given one of such voice modulators to mask his identity. Upon acquiring it, he does a humorous impression of a Black Hand soldier.
 
*If [[Sky Fortress]] is installed, the Warden will use the [[Bavarium Splitter]]. If only [[Mech Land Assault]] is installed, they will instead use the [[Urga Vdova 89]]. '''Needs confirmation.'''
 
*A quote made by Rico in the mission [[Storming the Hive]] for the Mech Land Assault contradicts his apparent lack of knowledge about the Black Hand in [[Three's Company]]. He clearly recalls what happened back in [[San Esperito]] and notes that ever since, the Black Hand have always been on the "dictator's side".
 
**If so, then this statement would be considered a major anachronism on the part of the developers.
 
**Rico's quote isn't necessarily the only contradiction found in Mech Land Assault. Before the mission [[Stowaway]], when [[Tom Sheldon|Sheldon]] calls Rico to ask if the name "Black Hand" means anything to him, Rico's response isn't one of denial but rather ''"Creepy military dudes? Lots of body armor? Very skilled?"''
 
*The [[Eden Callaghan tapes]] for [[Bavarium Sea Heist]] reveal that the Black Hand were initially turned down by the [[EDEN Corporation|eDEN Corporation]] when they first approached the company to make an offer. Eden Callaghan's primary reason for refusing to do business with them was that she considered herself to be a highly ethical person, and expected her company to act in the same manner. Doing business with the likes of a shady mercenary organization that operates outside any form of governmental jurisdiction could've threatened the eDEN Corporation's reputation.
 
**Ironically, after it killed all personnel on the [[EDEN Airship|eDEN Airship]], the self-aware AI named [[Eden]], programmed with Ms. Callaghan's voice, discovered an non-executed contract with the Black Hand in the eDEN Corporation's files. Seeking to cover up the truth of what "she" recently did and to buy time in her hunt to acquire more [[Bavarium]], Eden ultimately decided to make use of this contract and enlist the Black Hand's services.
 
*In the mission [[The Heist Begins]] for Bavarium Sea Heist, [[Tom Sheldon|Sheldon]] advises Rico to gain access to [[Stingray]] by claiming to be running a "Code Fuchsia" for delivery to the Black Hand. Upon hearing this, the Black Hand sentry talking to Rico immediately grants him access to the base and gives him a personal thanks for the delivery, claiming that Stingray is extremely boring and that it would be a major relief to finally have something to pass the time with other than eDEN files and reports.
 
**Based on the sentry's response, it's possible that the Black Hand classify "Code Fuchsia" as R&R (rest & relaxation).
 
 
===Just Cause 4===
 
*To be added.
 
 
===Miscellaneous===
 
*Back in JC1, their color scheme was all black with a hint of grey and white in places, but in JC3, their color scheme has become more varied, featuring black, red, grey, and even beige or brown.
 
*The "17-2" on Black Hand vehicles in [[Just Cause]] make a return in Just Cause 3, most dominantly being seen on the Pilot's helmet.
 
*This organization might be named after the famous real world terrorist group called the "Black Hand" that started [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_War_I World War I]. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Hand Link to Wikipedia]. However, that group is not the only (or first) real world group that has called itself the "Black Hand".
 
**There are a lot of "Black Hand" factions and other organizations in many other works of fiction. Examples include:
 
***The [http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Brotherhood_of_Nod Brotherhood of Nod] from the [http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/EVA_Database Command & Conquer] series has a unit of elite special-forces and religious police known as the [http://cnc.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Hand Black Hand] amongst their armed forces.
 
***The high ruling council of the [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Dark_Brotherhood Dark Brotherhood], a joinable faction of assassins in the [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/The_Elder_Scrolls_Wiki Elder Scrolls] series, is known as the [http://elderscrolls.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Hand Black Hand.]
 
***A splinter terrorist organization of Helghan fanatics, ex-military and civilian nationalists, and radicals known as the [http://killzone.wikia.com/wiki/Black_Hand Black Hand] from [http://killzone.wikia.com/wiki/Killzone:_Shadow_Fall Killzone: Shadow Fall].
 
***"Black Hand" is the title bestowed upon an elite and highly respected hunter under the king from Dark Souls 3. [http://darksouls3.wiki.fextralife.com/Black+Hand+Armor+Set Link to their armor set.]
 
*There is an interesting amount of similarities between the Just Cause 3 iteration of the Black Hand, and the Helghast from the Killzone series:
 
**As stated above, there is a "Black Hand" organization appearing in Killzone Shadow Fall.
 
**The voices of the Black Hand Troopers sound remarkably similar to Helghast troopers.
 
**Visually, the Ghost bears resemblance to some Helghast and Shadowfall Black Hand troopers.

Trivia

  • Just Cause 2 is the only game in the Just Cause game series where the Black Hand doesn't appear.
    • However, there is a character model in Just Cause 2 Multiplayer that erroneously states the elite Panauan secret serviceman model as "Black Hand". This character model does have badges with a black fist, but it looks completely different from anything known to represent the Black Hand.
    • It is possible that the game developers may have at some point considered adding the Black Hand into JC2 with that logo, but that's only speculation.
    • In the introduction of Just Cause 4, the leader of the Black Hand, Gabriela Morales, reveals in a briefing to Oscar Espinosa that despite their non-involvement, the Black Hand were actually aware of the events of Just Cause 2 and Rico's involvement in the nation of Panau.
  • This also makes Pandak "Baby" Panay the only antagonist to have never enlisted their services.
