The Purist Faction, also known as the Purebloods, are a Britannian political and military faction that opposes the system of honorary citizenship, claiming that neither Britannian society nor its military should be sullied by foreigners. They would also use underhanded means in order to support their system. The most notable example was of how Suzaku Kururugi was used as a scapegoat in regards to the murder of Prince Clovis; the trial was also rigged as fabricated evidence was used and actual evidence and testimonies to prove Suzaku's innocence were deemed inadmissible. Also, Suzaku was equipped with a torture device which prevented him from speaking.
