It is later revealed that there is a second faction of Colonists on Earth, opposing the faction allied with the Syndicate, and who are probably a different extraterrestrial species, or perhaps Colonists who are not infected with the Black Oil virus. The Rebels are identified by their grotesque appearance: the orifices on their face are morphed shut (to avoid absorption of the parasitic black oil). They carry prod-like weapons that can quickly incinerate a human.
Though the Syndicate become an enemy of the Rebels because of their allegiance with the Colonists, the Rebels themselves have a vested interest in keeping the Colonists from finding out that a successful hybrid has been created. While the Rebels have an opportunity to destroy the hybrid (Cassandra Spender) they choose to let it survive in hopes that the Syndicate will choose to fight the Colonists. The Rebels go so far as to infiltrate the Syndicate and bring up the possibility of fighting the Colonists. However, it is decided that fighting the Colonists would be futile. At this point a full-working vaccine has not been created and it is therefore decided that the best thing to do is to comply with the original deal and turn over the hybrid to the Colonists. Before this can be done the Rebels destroy all but a few of the Syndicate as well as Cassandra Spender, the only living successful Alien-Human Hybrid. They do this so as to delay the invasion.
Krycek appraises the war between the rebels and colonists as favoring the rebels at their last sighting.
