AEGIS KAI DORU, THE SPEAR & THE SCROLL Mankind’s obsession with the marvels of the past has always been best characterized by treasure hunters, and the tales of adventure and wonder that were usually blown up narratives of their discoveries. Only one organization in the world, however, knows the truth behind many of the historical mysteries of the Fifth World, along with how they were connected to the World of Darkness. This organization is Aegis Kai Doru, the so-called “Guardians of the Labyrinth”. This is the story that most everyone who becomes a Guardian is told: Aegis is antediluvian, existing before the famous Great Flood from many stories, and were in ancient times powerful warriors and magicians who were charged with protecting the greatest treasures in the world. That simultaneously hits what their conspiracy is about right on the nail, and also misses the mark completely. Aegis DID exist before most of civilization as we know it did. The true purpose of the Guardians, however, was to seek out, locate, and protect the Lost Legacies, pieces of technology and culture that survived the destruction of the Fourth World. The man responsible for starting Aegis isn’t even a man, and he’s still alive – as “alive” as a sentient artificial construct could possibly be, at any rate. Aegis Kai Doru’s insignia is a large, round shield with a spear and scroll crossed at the back. Aegis operatives make it a point to wear something that alludes to the symbol’s original design, or have an object on their person that has the same effect. Their finest operatives wear the conspiracy’s amulet.

KEEPERS OF THE LABYRINTHS :: Claire Anders [USA]

[geistnet]

CLAIRE ANDERS Alias: Indiana Jane MAGE [ACANTHUS; WALKER IN THE MISTS]; KEEPER OF THE LABYRINTH IN CHICAGO The poster child for Aegis Kai Doru being “all in the family”, Claire is – as her parents before her were – one of the greatest assets of the conspiracy, by merit of her age (she’s over 200 years old), prowess, and experience. She’s almost singlehandedly responsible for keeping Aegis Kai Doru afloat in the United States of America in spite of all of the upheavals and the in-fighting among Keepers. Suffice to say, this DOES make her a target for anyone seeking to destabilize Aegis operations… Many find it hard to believe that Claire’s an Acanthus Mage when they first meet her. As things stand, however, she’s the perfect example of what happens when a charge of the Lunargent Thorn actually decides to “get serious”. PLOT POINTS AS OF 03 OCTOBER 2016 As Diamond Dog discovered, the Labyrinth in Chicago is still under attack. Claire Anders has been placed on the United Vigil's incredibly long (and still growing) list of missing supernaturals.
