The Devine Family

The Devine Family is not a family in the hereditary sense but rather a secret organisation dedicated to serving the Magelord of Enchantment. Consisting of master spies and manipulators, the Family prides itself on infiltrating and holding commanding power over all forms and reaches of public power, from governments and religions to pop culture icons and more. Established in the earlier days of Valparaiso, the Family serves and supports whomever fills the seat of Magelord, and it was more than once that the Family directly interceded to ensure that an incumbent was to their liking. The Family selects and recruits new hopefuls, training them in the arts of subterfuge before sending them out into the world to garner influence and information. New members take on the surname Devine; bards were always especially favoured for induction into the order. 
The leadership of the Family is held by a matriarch known simply as the Mistress. The most current Mistress, along with her three daughters Lilith, Eve and Mary, all reside in the Runeforge. All four of these women have alluring, devilish appearances thanks to permanent magical alterations to themselves; they are all, in fact, humans. They hailed from ancient Valparaiso where infernal ties were seen as a mark of high class and respect. 
Each member is branded on the forehead with a complicated sigil that can only be seen by others marked with the same spell, allowing disparate members to recognize each other instantly no matter what the situation. Though there are no real blood ties between members, the magics that mark them are deep enough that a descendant of a member can be inducted in a much more expedited fashion. 
Despite sharing a last name, Caitlyn Devine was not a member of the Family; it is thought that one of her ancestors was.
