At ''Cibernetico Increible'' on October 18th, there was a Trios Increibles match with The [=UnStable=]'s Colin Delaney, the Temple's Crossbones and Icarus vs. Team F.I.S.T.'s Wrestling/ChuckTaylor, The [=UnStable=]'s STIGMA (the former Shane Storm) and Mantis. During the match, the masked man appeared on the video screen, and then he and a much larger man showed up, scaring Mantis away from the match. That same night, Carpenter Ant won the Cibernetico match by making Soldier Ant tap out to the Inverted CHIKARA Special, which Mike Quackenbush had supposedly taught only to Tim Donst. At ''Three-Fisted Tales'', the main event was [[http://www.wrestling-titles.com/us/pa/e/chikara/chikara-t.html CHIKARA Campeones de Parejas]] The Colony (Fire Ant and Soldier Ant) defeating The Osirian Portal (Amasis and Ophidian). After the match, the two masked men walked out, with the larger man actually pushing down the guardrail. The regular-sized man took the mic and cut a promo starting with the first quote above. Many CHIKARA wrestlers made their way out to see what was happening, with Quackenbush and Wrestling/ClaudioCastagnoli confronting the two men. The man pointed to The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple (Mantis, Delirious and Vökoder) and said, "Send me the man with the real power." The Order walked to the ring, with Mantis handing Vökoder the Eye of Tyr. Mantis told the two men, "I'm sick of all your video threats. I'm sick of you interfering in my business. And quite frankly, I'm sick of you. I don't even know who you are." The larger man removed his mask to reveal a horned mask. His name would later be revealed to be Tursas. Then the regular-sized man removed his mask, causing Mantis' two years of machinations to completely blow up in his face. The man would be revealed to be Ares, Claudio's former Swiss Money Holding partner who had last been seen in CHIKARA in 2006. Quack turned to Claudio, who hit him with a European Uppercut. Carpenter Ant attacked The Colony, Vökoder attacked [=UltraMantis=] Black, Wrestling/SaraDelRey and Wrestling/DaizeeHaze made their way out and just attacked whoever was available, and all seven heels completely cleaned house. They all stood shoulder-to-shoulder, and Ares instructed Carpenter Ant to unmask, revealing Pinkie Sanchez. Then Vökoder unmasked, revealing Tim Donst, who had appeared earlier that night as himself.

* DisappointedInYou: The 2010 SeasonFinale ''Reality Is Relative'' was not a good night for them.[[note]]Tim Donst defeated Jimmy "Equinox" Olsen, their only win of the night.[[/note]] The Osirian Portal (Amasis/Ophidian/Hieracon) defeated Delirious/Lince Dorado/Pinkie Sanchez. Eddie Kingston defeated Tursas. The Colony (Fire and Soldier) defeated Sara and Daizee[[note]]Who suffered a broken nose due to an error by Soldier.[[/note]] Before the match where Mike Quackenbush and Jigsaw defeated Ares and Claudio for the tag titles, Claudio was [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hUvjDWW5g9U shown backstage]] tearing into Pinkie, Lince, Tursas and Sara, even saying, "You have no idea how disappointed I am in you right now."

* {{Foreshadowing}}: At ''Cibernetico Increible'', Daizee and Bullfight Sora defeated Sara and La Malcriada by disqualification due to [[UnnecessaryRoughness Castigo Excesivo (Excessive Punishment)]], because Sara kept hitting moves on Sora and pulling her up instead of going for the pin. After the match, Daizee cut a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=an0Wt-nbnQs promo]] where she accused Director of Fun Leonard F. [=Chikarason=] of trying to treat her [[{{Chickification}} "like a little lady"]], saying that she is quicker than [[Wrestling/EddieKingston Kingston]] and could pack a punch just like [[Wrestling/LukeHarper Brodie Lee]]. Sara walked in and said she agreed with Daizee and that she, Sara, is bigger than Ophidian or that "Green Bean Ant." Sara said, "There's something going on that I think we might be perfect for." That "something" turned out to be the BDK.

* TheGoodTheBadAndTheEvil: After they formed, CHIKARA updated its roster page from "Tecnicos," "Rudos" and "Staff" to "Tecnicos," "Rudos," "Bruderschaft" and "Staff." They would not make such a distinction again until 2014, with The Flood being treated as a whole other category.

* HugeGuyTinyGirl: Tursas (6'8, 376 lbs.) and Daizee (5'4. 110 lbs.), respectively, teamed up to defeat The Throwbacks (Wrestling/DasherHatfield and Sugar Dunkerton) at ''CHIKARA Aniversario Zehn'' on May 22, 2010.

* AsskickingEqualsAuthority: Subverted. Claudio was the top wrestler in the group, but Ares was the leader.

* LoadsAndLoadsOfCharacters: The Bruderschaft had 9 active members at its high point, and 12 total - 14 if you count non-action guys Milo Schnitzler[[note]]he was actually a trained wrestler who worked elsewhere as Pat Mathews; for whatever reason CHIKARA never used in him the ring[[/note]] and Deiter von Steigerwalt.

* CreepyCoolCrosses: The group's name means "Brotherhood of the Cross," and one of Tursas' finishers was called the Kreuz Bomb.

* TheBrute: Tursas, Nøkken, who was a SuspiciouslySimilarSubstitute.

* DisappointedInYou: The 2010 SeasonFinale ''Reality Is Relative'' was not a good night for them.[[note]]Tim Donst defeated Jimmy "Equinox" Olsen, their only win of the night.[[/note]] The Osirian Portal (Amasis/Ophidian/Jonathan Gresham) defeated Delirious/Lince Dorado/Pinkie Sanchez.

* TheDragon: Claudio.

* FromNobodyToNightmare[=/=]TheStarscream: Jakob went from a heavily abused and injured ring announcer to overthrowing Ares at ''King of Trios 2014 Night I'', September 19, 2014. He revealed that he had the Eye of Tyr, which Delirious had destroyed at the start of the 2012 Season Premiere ''The Thirteenth Hat'' on January 28, 2012. Jakob never revealed why he had it, only alluding to some vague DealWithTheDevil.

* TheQuisling: Referee Derek Sabato, who a lot of people hated already.

* WrestlingMonster: Tursas and Nøkken.

Die Bruderschaft des Kreuzes ("The Brotherhood of the Cross" in German) was a ProfessionalWrestling PowerStable in Wrestling/{{CHIKARA}}. The group formed at the end of the 2009 SeasonFinale ''Three-Fisted Tales'' on November 22, 2009, as the culmination of storylines going back to 2007. At ''The Sordid Perils of Everyday Existence'', November 11, 2007, Shane Storm had defeated Hydra, a member of Wrestling/{{UltraMantis Black}}'s The Order of the Neo-Solar Temple, when Hydra essentially sacrificed himself to end Storm's losing streak. Later that night, Wrestling/ChrisHero defeated Equinox (Vin Gerard) in a Mask vs. Hair match by breaking the CHIKARA Special[[note]]a submission hold innovated by Mike Quackenbush to utilize against Hero and subsequently taught to the entire ''tecnico'' side of the locker room. Hero - top heel - would have a short losing streak against old enemies and midcarders, all of whom made him tap to the CHIKARA Special[[/note]] and forcing Equinox to tap out to the hold himself. It would slowly be revealed that Storm was the one who sold out the ''[[{{Face}} tecnicos]]'' by giving the counter to Mantis who gave it to Hero, and that Mantis and CHIKARA Commissioner Creator/BobSaget (yes, ''[[Series/AmericasFunniestHomeVideos that]]'' Bob Saget) had brokered a deal to send Hero to wrestle for Dr. Cube, the BigBad of Wrestling/KaijuBigBattel, in exchange for Cube giving Mantis the Eye of Tyr, a Myth/{{Norse Mytholog|y}}ical artifact that can be used to control minds.
