The Amadeus Syndicate, (also known as Amadeus and Ones Loved by God or the Amadeus Corporation) are the main antagonists of Metal Slug 4.

Information

The Amadeus Syndicate is a highly technological advanced paramilitary organization and rogue scientific corporation affiliated with the Rebel Army. Their goals are idealistic in nature and center about better understanding the forces that govern the universe, no matter the cost. To do so free from legal constraints they rely on Morden's resources and alliance to test out their prototypes and conduct biological experiments on living things.

The Amadeus Syndicate is made up of unethical scientists, Rebels and mercenaries. Due to Metal Slug 4 reusing weapons and infantry from other armies, it appears as a small rogue organization. The Syndicate is in the Independent Faction in Metal Slug Defense and Metal Slug Attack because of this, although the latter game expands their forces with new members and tech.

History

Metal Slug 4

With the money the Amadeus Syndicate were able to obtain from their banks around the world, they became a very rich company. Their leader, the tentatively named Doctor, was a friend of Morden, and when the Rebel Army lost their funding and was utterly defeated a third time (after the events of Metal Slug 6) the Syndicate helped them by supplying the Rebel Army with more mercenary troops, advanced weapons, and vehicles.

The corporation headquarter was destroyed at the end of the White Baby Crisis, where the Regular Army infiltrated their headquarters and defeated the Doctor, causing the base to self-destruct.

Metal Slug Attack

In Metal Slug Attack, the Syndicate's forces have been expanded and now sport a violet and gray motif. Since Regular Army soldiers make an appearance in the game (who also sport blue uniforms, which were used in Metal Slug 4 by the Syndicate, albeit a darker hue), most Syndicate members now wear a violet uniform. The Syndicate also developed numerous robots and machines based off the Rebel Army's designs with a few modifications to them. They are still on good terms with the Rebel Army and provide them with new equipment from time to time.

Metal Slug: Awakening

In Metal Slug: Awakening, the Syndicate's lore have been expanded and now reveal that they have been in operation before the events of Metal Slug 4 and Metal Slug: Super Vehicle-001. One of their earlier creations was a humanoid weapon named SD071, similar to Type:Ant-Lion of Metal Slug Attack. They play a major role in-game, they were the ones responsible for the creation of the "Corrupted Virus" and spreading it over the small city of Niels, infecting all of it's citizens and turning them into "Corrupted" with the use of experimental biological weapons to infect anyone on sight ,when Marco Rossi time travel back to the past, it cause a butterfly effect that cause a Outbreak occur.
