Cult of Diablos

The Order of Diabolos is a hidden and secret organization hidden in the shadows. Their task is to resurrect the demon Diabolos.

For this task, they infiltrated many high ranking positions and manipulated history so that the descendants of the heroes who originally sealed Diabolos would get persecuted and abandoned by renaming the "Curse of Diabolos" into Demon Possession. They managed to go unopposed for years until a new opposition called the Shadow Garden would appear.

Children of Diabolos
These members are orphans or young citizens that possess magic, even the smallest amount, that the Order kidnaps and are raised in Special Facilities. These children are then go through harsh training and brainwashing and then are loaded in mana. Only 10% have managed to live. They are all ordered in, 3rd, 2nd and 1st.

The 3rd Children are those that survive the test but are deemed worthless and are used as a sacrifice as their minds are too corrupted for them to leak classified information and they are more powerful compared to the average knight. The 2nd children are the mentally stable while the 1st children are considered to be some of the most powerful warriors and as such, are quite limited in number compared to the 3rd and 2nd children. Among the Children of Diabolos, those who have provided exceptional contributions to the Order are granted a name. Most Named Children are 1st, but named 2nd are not entirely unheard of either.

Knights of Rounds
Furthermore, there are Named who have climbed into the ranks of the Knights of Rounds. More like, within the organization, being Named is almost considered a requirement to be considered for a position in the Rounds. There are 12 members in Knights of Rounds because each year, each member of Knights of Rounds will take 12 drops Tear of Diabolos to maintain their demonic strength.

Conflicts against Shadow Garden
On the day Cid met with Alpha, he made up a story about the 3 heroes, after slaying Diabolos, were cursed by the Demon and all their descendants became victims suffering Mana Deviation. The porters of this disease were respected by the people because it meant that they were the heroes' descendants. Later on, the Order of Diabolos manipulated the truth and they became hated by the folks and rejected with the name of a cursed child, etc...

Unbeknownst to Cid, the entirety of his "made-up story" is completely true.

The first true meeting between the Order and Shadow Garden would come when the Order kidnapped Cid's sister, Claire Kagenou. Due to pure chance and the random luck of Cid, Shadow Garden was able to find the base Claire was locked up. This caused a battle whittled all the members of the Order in that base along with Claire's rescue. However, this would not be the last meeting between the Order and Shadow Garden or rather this was just the beginning for the Order's first and biggest obstacle to their goal.
