Many members of the Hand are anomalous themselves or are heavily connected with anomalous humans or humanoids (such as anomalous friends or family).Īs a leaderless resistance organization, the Hand does not have any organizational structure the only true requirement for joining the Hand is to decide that one is a member and carry out acts in the name of the Hand. They are also opposed to the Foundation due to its containment of anomalies, including imprisonment of sentient anomalies, although they do not despise them as much as they do the GOC. This drives them to extreme opposition to the GOC, who see the anomalous as in and of itself anathema to the human race and regularly destroy anomalous objects, often using anomalous technology to do so themselves. Whereas many organizations involved in the supernatural and paranormal in the Foundation universe aim to suppress public knowledge of anomalous (supernatural) events and objects in order to preserve a sense of normalcy, the Hand seek to spread awareness of the anomalous to the public and integrate the anomalous into society. The Serpent's Hand's origin is unknown however it might have something to do with Nahash escaping to the Wanderer's Library.

I am… heartened to know the cause is still being fought in my name. The original Hand of the Serpent was a knowledge cult worshiping legends of me I left throughout your history.
