Geass Order
The shadowy architects manipulating history through the power of absolute command.
The Geass Order is a clandestine organization dedicated to the study and control of the mysterious power known as Geass. Operating in the shadows behind major world events, they seek to harness this ability for their own ends, often manipulating rulers and revolutionaries alike.

Lore & Background
The Order's influence is deeply woven into the fabric of the series' history, with members like V.V. and Charles zi Britannia rising to become emperors or key figures within Britannia to further their plans from the inside. They orchestrated events that would lead to the creation of a unified world order, believing that only through total control could they unlock the secrets of the Code and transcend human limitations. Their methods often involve creating chaos to force humanity into submission, viewing suffering as a necessary catalyst for change.
In Their Own Story
In the dimly lit archives beneath the ruins of an ancient temple, two figures clad in dark cloaks stood before a holographic projection of the world map. The air hummed with static energy as one of them adjusted the coordinates, watching the red lines of conflict expand across Britannia's borders. 'The chaos is spreading exactly as predicted,' the elder whispered, his eyes glowing faintly with a crimson hue. 'Soon, they will have no choice but to turn to us for salvation.' The younger member nodded silently, clutching a sealed envelope containing the coordinates of a sleeping princess who held the key to their next phase.
Reader's Guide
The Geass Order was originally led by Charles zi Britannia and his brother V.V., who sought to unite humanity under a single will. Their ideology centered on the belief that free will leads to destruction, necessitating a controlled evolution guided by those with Code or Geass. Key members included C.C., who served as both an agent and a reluctant ally, and Dorothea Erismann, who acted as a field operative. Their military strength was not traditional; instead of armies, they relied on sleeper agents, political manipulation, and the direct application of Geass to control key world leaders. They operated out of secret bases hidden from public view, often using Britannian infrastructure as cover for their experiments. The organization's evolution saw a split when Charles attempted the 'Humanity Unification Plan' via the Singularity Point, effectively dissolving the Order's original structure. Following his defeat and the collapse of the plan, the remnants of the group fractured, with some members like C.C. choosing to abandon their old goals for new paths of redemption.
