Harvest Reave is a faction affiliated with the Revolutionary Army that specializes in obtaining resources by seizing them from enemy possession. Their primary loot consists of weapons stockpiles although they go after other valuable supplies as demanded. Since its founding, the faction has targeted numerous lower echelon facilities belonging to the World Government and the Marines such as minor garrisons. They have also been known to interfere with illegal arms trafficking within the Underworld, intercepting broker intel to obtain information on transactions. There are three teams that comprise Harvest Reave - the Siege Corps, the Stealth Corps, and the Tracking Corps.

Objectives
The primary mission of Harvest Reave is to assist the Revolutionary Army by providing them with a steady supply of weapons without compromising the freedom of its major operatives. Harvest Reave also aims to sabotage rivals of the Revolutionary Army and possible criminal factions by stealing their supplies and transferring ownership to the Revolutionary Army, thus aiming to maintain its power so it can better suppress enemy iniatives. Harvest Reave does not possess the clearance to participate in operations that do not pretain to their mission and must obtain permission to partake in the other matters of the Revolutionary Army. Therefore, members of Harvest Reave are not expected to act outside of their mission parameters less they risk jeopardizing the organization's success.

Operations
While Harvest Reave does not regularly partake in other operations of the Revolutionary Army, all who are members of Harvest Reave are considered to be members of the Revolutionary Army. Although Harvest Reave tends to operate independently of the Revolutionary Army's chain of command because of the nature of their work, everyone within Harvest Reave must answer to those who are in charge of the Revolutionary Army. Still, the leaders of Harvest Reave usually have high standing within the Revolutionary Army and are ranked equivalent to commanding officers in most cases.

There are three different divisions that comprise Harvest Reave and each contribute to their overall objective differently. First is the Siege Corps which act as the muscle of the organization. Those who are in the Siege Corps possess skills which are oriented towards open combat. The duty of the Siege Corps to provide an opening for the Infiltration Corps who are the retrievers of the organization. While the Siege Corps handles any security surrounding the target, the Infiltration Corps is responsible for collecting the loot and bringing it back to base. The role of the Tracking Corps centers on intelligence as they are responsible for pinpointing the locations of valuable goods, scouting those locations, and relaying the necessary information to the Siege Corps and the Infiltration Corps so they may properly carry out their tasks.

Behind the Scenes
The inspiration for Harvest Reave stems from Night Raid of Akame ga Kill and the idea of a thieves guild. Of course when it comes to the influence of Night Raid there are key differences primarily in the objectives of both groups. With Night Raid being a group of assassins, their goals are to eliminate important people within the enemy's ranks while Harvest Reave works to steal beneficial goods to hinder enemy force. Harvest Reave was originally intended to be a close knit group like Night Raid but expanded in scope as work progressed on their internal affairs. {|class="toccolours collapsible collapsed navbox" border="1" cellpadding="2" cellspacing="2" style=" float: center; font-size:90%; width:100%;" !colspan="2" style=" text-align:center; font-size:13.5px; font-weight:bold; background:#000000; color:#FFFFFF"| Shongo (C)
 * }

Shongo is a member of the Revolutionary Army and the commanding officer of the Siege Corps of Harvest Reave. He became inspired to join the Revolutionary Army as a youth after watching the World Government capture his people as punishment for his father, the leader of their tribe, refusing to submit to their demands. Shongo is known by his subordinates to be an intelligent and calculating individual with his own personal agenda that reflects his anti-authority ideals. Despite his dislike for most political bodies, he is in favor of doing what is widely considered best for the vast majority. His reasoning for enlisting within the Revolutionary Army is because he trusts its leaders to lead the world in a better direction than the Gorosei.

Personality
Shongo is a quiet and observant individual who doesn't like to hold conversation much. He is very professional with his mannerisms and is never casual with his subordinates even during the rare friendly banter. Very focused on his job, he treats every mission as a life or death struggle - because it usually is - and does his best to make sure all of his subordinates returns alive. While he comes off as cold and stern - the latter being a tenant of his persona - Shongo truly cares for the other members of Harvest Reave as well as the Revolutionary Army's cause. Therefore, because he wishes to protect them all, he is extremely hard on those who mess up including himself. While he does realize that total perfection is almost next to impossible, Shongo wishes to reach the mark as close as he can manage. A life cannot be replaced so he wants his team to be on top of their game so they will not perish. However, as he is not an openly emotional person, he will not mourn the loss of any comrades who fall in battle. Likewise, he was raised to believe that one should not mourn losses but celebrate the lives of those who have moved on. While he doesn't want to lose anyone to war he acknowledges that he simply cannot save everyone and strives for the completion of his missions. He doesn't care to impress his superiors, he just despises the World Government that much.

Because of the exploitation of his tribe by the World Government and his father's failure to protect his people, Shongo is skeptical of just about any authority besides his own. This makes him self-righteous in that he considers his beliefs and ideals to be morally correct over those of others. While he does believe that the leaders of the Revolutionary Army can lead better than the World Government, that does not mean he considers them to be free from corruption. He has his suspicions that there are those among the Revolutionary Army who wish to oust the World Government only to act as tyrants in their place. His skepticism has instilled within him a paranoia that makes him weary of even those he holds closest to him. As he isn't an expressive person, Shongo is skilled at hiding his concerns about the trustworthiness of those around him. He fears betrayal and he also fears failing to prevent another tragedy from happening in his life. Never again does he want to be that weak boy who couldn't protect his loved ones. To be strong he has to be on guard at all times whether or not it hurts his connections to those around him.

Trivia

 * His name is derived from that of Shango of the Yoruban pantheon.
 * According to the author, if Shongo were from a place in the real world it would be Haiti.
