The Nails of Christ are a Filipino monster-hunting organization with roots in the Katipunan revolutionary society. During the Philippine Revolution of the 1890s, the Nails were formed within the ranks of the Katipuneros in order to cull the various supernatural entities that had arrived in their country alongside the Spanish oppressors.
While the actual Katipunan movement would disband and eventually fade into historical obscurity, the Nails persisted long after. Driven by a combination of deep-seated paranoia and pseudo-Christian dogma, the Nails of Christ found a new niche in the various civil conflicts that plague the Philippines to this day. Unlike similar seditionist movements, however, the Nails are wholly convinced that all their country's ills are the result of a wide-spread conspiracy of paranormal foreigners. Their ranks have become increasingly insular and xenophobic as a result.
