The Branch

The Branch are a group of people that are after Alexandria. They are a group of twenty people strong. After the collapse of the NOL, and the sudden gain of power of the MOR, The Branch became a group of people to show that the strength of the NOL was still very powerful. Using remnants of the NOL, they plan to steal Alexandria and force her to become a murakumo, much in the same vein as Noel Vermillion. They are the main antagonists of A and K.
