Paladin History
The paladin are an ancient group of warriors who fought enemies that they believed blasphemed the word of God. Derivatives of this ancient groups are argued to be King Arthur's knights of the Round Table, to even descendants of the Twelve Apostles of Jesus. Regardless, they were to known to be a disciplined cult of fighters determined to please God by slaying his earthly foes.
In present day, the paladin operate under the disguise of the successful land development company known as Arvick Inc. Headquartered in Richmond, Virginia, the company provides most of the funding for the North American branch of the global network of men bestowed with "divine deliverance". However over the centuries, as with all powerful entities, the organization has been corrupted by greed and desire for control. This has often lead many leaders astray from the true meaning in their actions towards the more profitable options.
Having hunted them for centuries, the paladin believe werewolves are voluntary servants of the devil who made a pact with him for immense power. Historically they believe it is their divine duty to lead a crusade and "cleanse the earth" of the heathens so they may be sent back to Hell. Knowing their enemy well, they choose to attack with a variety of silver based ammunition, from crossbow bolts to bullets.
Teach division of the global network is divided up into smaller entities headed by the "Arch Duke". The Arch Duke commands his lieutenants who are way in charge of leading a group of hunters in finding and killing werewolves. Each Arch Duke is subjected to the ruling of one of the seven Viceroys in charge of a single massive designated area of jurisdiction around the globe. The organization has historically been democratic, each position elected upon by members of the immediate lower rank. Hunters commanded by lieutenants are recruited like mercenaries. However, as secrecy is a priority, (the key to holding their power across the world) any threat to it is eliminated immediately.
