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 calling their mana deficiency into Demon Possession. They managed to go unopposed for years until a new opposition called the Shadow Garden would appear.

Diabolos Children
The Order of Diabolos combs through orphans and children of poor families and kidnaps anyone of them that displays even the slightest affinity for magic, then raises them in specialized facilities. Due to the repeated application of severe training menus, brainwashing programs, and drug administration in those facilities, those who successfully graduate are less than 1% of the number that goes in. Children 3rd is considered the failures of the graduates, pawns to be used and thrown away. Because their minds are already broken, they can’t leak any information, but their fighting prowess greatly overshadows any average knight.

2nd are those whose minds are stable. The very few 1st are those who possess very significant power by world standards.

Named Children
Those among the Diabolos Children who have provided exceptional contributions to the Order are granted a name. Most Named Children are 1st, but named 2nds 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...

In fact, everything the Cid said is true but he don't know that.

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.
