Black Order Structure

[LENA]

BLACK ORDER STRUCTURE There are seven branches of the Black Order (Europe, Asia, Middle East, Africa, North America, South America, and Oceania), and each branch is overseen by a branch chief. All branches of the Black Order answer to the European Branch, a.k.a. Headquarters, where branch chief Komui Lee acts as the chief officer. Komui relays orders from Central to the other branches, and controls the movement of all Exorcists. Above Komui are the Great Generals, five shadowed figures whose faces are never seen, though they seem to have eyes everywhere. It is not known who they answer to, though they give orders to the Generals and other officers and have ties to the Vatican. Exorcists who exceed one hundred percent synchronization with their Innocence become potential candidates for the occupancy of the General title (not to be confused with the Great Generals). Though the Generals answer to Komui and the Great Generals, they are usually stand-alone officers, wandering the continents on their own as they search for Innocence and Accommodators. It is not uncommon for them to only check in every few months, though some will go for years without contacting anyone.The exact method by which an Exorcist becomes a General is currently unknown, but exceeding the one hundred percent synchronization limit is one of the standards that must be met. | Each branch of the Black Order has seven different departments, each overseen by a section chief, and each with their own duties: | Science Section - Responsible for the research and development of the Innocence, as well as designing the uniforms for the Exorcists. | Intelligence Section - In charge of the Finders, who gather information from around the world. | Medical Section - Responsible for the general health and welfare of the Black Order personnel. | Signal Section - In charge of all communications between Finders, Exorcists and the Order. | Security Section - Guard all entryways (i.e. gates, waterways, etc.) into the facility. | Diplomatic Section - They handle affairs with various countries and arrange for support and cooperation. | Logistics Sections - In charge of day-to-day functioning in the Order, including meals, cleaning and accounting. Recruitment  Though the Black Order is relatively unknown to the general populace, they seem to have no problem with recruiting those who find out about them. Accommodators become members by default, and there once was a time when people who were found to be Accommodators were made to join the Order against their will. Since Komui Lee became chief officer, though, Accommodators seem to be given a choice, though this is tentative as the newest Exorcists have all willingly joined.Those who do not join the Order directly often become supporters, and entire families may remain supporters of the Order for generations, such as Anita and her mother did when they converted their brothel to double over as a hideout for Black Order members. DA RULES! OBEY | Once recruited, an Exorcist shall not leave the Order. | Compensation may be paid to the families of Exorcists, but contact is not permitted. | When personnel die in the line of duty, their remains shall be cremated. The family will not be informed; this is to prevent the possibility of personnel returning as Akuma. | All information regarding the status of Black Order personnel is strictly classified. Family may not request information. | Those who leave the Order must be 'cleansed,' a process that includes drinking an unknown liquid that erases one's memories of their time with the Order. Thus why Allen/Neah Walker is being hunted down, One reason at least.
