New villager variant group "Fanatics"

Theme: Nether worshiper. Possible title: fanatic

With all the random, and broken nether portals around, it would make sense that some villagers in the past would have either had experience in, or have heard tales of the nether. Building on the theme of that, these Fanatics would be a semi hostile mod (like the Piglins". They would wear red, hooded (nether themed) robes. When hostile they would cast/fire soul flames at you if triggered.

Hostile trigger: messing with their nearby portal, or getting too close to it while they can see you.

These fanatics would randomly be found near broken portals, in a small encampment, seemingly studying the portal.

They would drop flint and steel, sometimes obsidian, books, and candles. This mob would not respawn in the encampment, so it would not be farmable. Occasionally there would be a "patrol" of them wandering around, as though they are looking for a nether portal, this would be the only "spawn" they would have outside of being found near a portal. This mob would not despawn if named with a nametag.

I just think there is loads of possibilities with adding different factions of villagers, seeing as there are so many themes to play off of.

Maybe not the "Sith". But having a nether variant of the villagers would expand their lore a bit. Saying they are inherently bad or evil simply because they study or worship a portal doesn't make sense. There isn't anything inherently "evil" about the nether. You could say its a religious following? but I'd be hard pressed to push that idea into minecraft. I just like to think there is a group of villagers that believe "old tales" about the nether, and are like archeologists trying to prove it to be real.
