It should be noted that despite their elite training, borderline superhuman strength, endurance and superior gear: they are the religious clergymen of Nod-battle to them is a secondary task. Through fear, force and even admiration the confessors ensure order and discipline in any Nod force.
The confessors are known to lead Nod militias and irregulars into battle teaching them both the ways of war and the holy scripture of Nod. These lethal infantry, while inherently slow due to their heavy armor and weaponry, are capable of mowing down most of their counterparts with ease, as well as providing important leadership to nearby infantry. Instead of Militant Squads, the Black Hand deploys groups of six machine gun-wielding Confessors. The Black Hand does not accept mediocrity in its line infantry.
