Order of the Violet Dragon

The Order of the Violet Dragon is a dragon order of Lucerne that directs all assassinations inside and outside of Lucerne. The order is housed in the Tower of the Violet Dragon within the walls of Castle Stragnarax.

The Order has grown quickly from its early begginings and was used as one of the main elements of the Invasion of Westbridge, and their success their opens up the Order for a major step forward in the coming years. This stepforward appears to be the incoming war in Westros where William Lovie has placed a top level importance on the role being played by the Order of the Violet Dragon.

The head of the order is Ezio Ederiz, and he is basically solely responsible for the immigration of so many previously Ravenholdt assasins who respect him so much that they are prepared to follow him to this new kingdom they know nothing about.

Growth
Upon founding the Order Ezio immediatly went about finding recruits for the new order. He rounded up many possible recruits throughout the Orphanages in Lucerne, and then following this he made a trip to his old home of Ravenholdt where he offered men there the oppurtunity to become part of the order.

He would succesfully gain the support of many assassins who would follow him back and become the leaders of the new order.

Organization
The Order is organized through a dictorial system in which their is the leader, and then flowing beneath him are the secondary leaders, and then beneath them flow the rest of the order.

The Dragon's Knife
The Dragon's Knife is the overall leader of the order, and controls all major decisions done in the order. He must approve of any assasination order that is to be sent.

The Current Knife of the Dragon is Ezio Ederiz

The Lord Assassins
The Lord Assasins are the 5 most powerful assassins within the order, and are at this point made up of the greatest assassins that followed Ezio from Ravenholdt.

Harlaquin

Harlaquin or "Cahin Fluvia" was once a Bretonian Noblemen until he became bored and became a member of the Ravenholdt Order alongside his wife and best friend Helaquin. The two are inseperable, and it was Harlaquin's love for Helaquin that led to him truly wanting to leave Ravenholdt, and the redicule that she took there.

Harlaquin would appear to many to be insane judging by the costume he wears but in fact he is one of the more intelectual members of the Order of the Violet Dragon, and when out of his costume is quite the sociolable person. This contrast has many who know him wondering how much of this is simply him finally settling into a home instead of constantly being on edge waiting for his next mission.

"I find that everyone who takes the time to get to know someone usually finds they have more in comman then not. Its a sad truth of life that very few are mature, or kind enough to look past our masks or unique personalities, and come to know us as people. Stare all you wish for I have the love of my life by my side, and you are consumed by your hate."

-Helaquin

Helaquin is the wife of one time Bretonian Nobleman Harlaquin, and was for most her life a member of the Ravenholdt Order alongside her husband and best friend Harlaquin. She would join her husband when Ezio arrived and asked for people to follow him to found the Order of the Violet Dragon.

On missions where she is involved Helaquin has a trained group of two other women who also dress like like her, and together the three of them work together to complete the mission
