The Udjat are a Grade 1 Fixer Office and a front to hide the truth of the group operating as a paramilitary force dedicated to Dias.[1][2]
As of the events of Limbus Company, the Udjat have been absorbed by the greater Limbus Company faction, now composing the LCA Udjat.
Overview
Formed as a Grade 1 Office, the Udjat is comprised of personnel that worked under their sole client and commander, Lady Dias.[1][3] The group functions entirely to her whim, with most members willing to give their lives if it means she will be able to ascend in power. This choice to participate in her actions has led the faction to extremes such as participation in the Smoke War, or attacking the Library, albeit the latter ending unsuccessfully. At an unknown point in time following the events of Library of Ruina, the faction has been become a part of the Limbus Company's LCA section, now composed into vanguard teams.
The Udjat
Prior to Limbus Company, the Udjat wore black-and-gold uniforms reminiscent of their leader's outfit, with long black coats featuring golden trims along their hemlines and lapels. Most notably, the faction is known to wear a black mask with a gilded insignia of the Eye of Horus overtop their face: this icon is the faction's logo. In combat, the Udjat utilize gold Khopesh, with a sharp point at their ends.
LCA Udjat
The LCA Udjat wear uniforms composed of thick gray armor, with a golden lattice pattern along its body. The vanguard team leaders feature this pattern along their arms, while subordinates solely across their legs and vest. The vanguard teams utilize firearms in combat, as well as Khopesh similar to what the faction previously used. Likewise, the teams wear the same masks as their past uniforms.
These vanguard teams are composed of smaller numbers of personnel, unlike the typical Udjat members who have been known to battle in large groups.
Relationships with Other Factions
Lobotomy Corporation
Conspiring with Ayin and Benjamin, Dias orchestrated the grounds of which the Smoke War would begin. In the midst of the war, she utilized her faction of Udjat Fixers to slaughter her enemies, an event which was the major turning point that convinced Moses to stray from the faction.
R Corp.
Lady Dias, through her influence, was responsible for the safety of the R Corp. 4th Pack, managing to save the Pack after convincing their captain to participate in the Smoke War.[4] Through this, the 4th Pack was allowed to continue operation given a sizable contribution to toppling the Old L Corp.

The reward: We get to avoid termination."
