Violet Eye

The Violet Eye is the intelligence gathering operation of the Kirin Tor. Founded to spy on the Guardians of Tirisfal and later expanded to oversee clandestine operations around Azeroth. It is lead by Archmage Cedric and reports to the Council of Six. While their part in the activites of Karazhan might be known to some outside the Kirin Tor, they are virtually unknown outside the organization and members prefer it that way. 
==History==
The Violet Eye was orginally founded to keep watch on the Guardians of Tirisfal, culminating with Medivh and his work in Karazhan. For an extended period of time the Violet Eye was largely forgotten by the Kirin Tor back in Dalaran who were dealing with reconstructing the city, but when the Dark Portal reopened and the energies in the tower began to stir with life once more, the members of the Violet Eye were instrumental in keeping the tower under control and not letting the dark energies escape. The Council of Six, recognizing the part the Violet Eye played in the troubles at the tower, decided to expand the organization and use their unqiue skills to serve as Dalaran's intelligence gathering service. When the city moved to Northrend the Violet Eye went with it and they were an important behind the scenes player in the Nexus War. During the Purge of Dalaran the Violet Eye was on the side of the Alliance as the group had no Blood Elf members, though Aethas Sunreaver argued for Blood Elven members to be allowed to join, the organization simply never got around to it. Now the Violet Eye is serving on the Isle of Thunder and anywhere else to Kirin Tor might need them.
===Subsects===
The Magus Senate of Dalaran maintains a subsect of the Violet Eye. The Senate's version of the Violet Eye is known as just 'The Eye' and is used as an intelligence agency, but also has the added responsibility of routing out users of the Forbidden Magics. The Eye is made up of a few agents who report to the Director of the Eye. The Director of the Eye then reports to the Minister of the Interior. The Eye and it's methods are controversial in the Senate with many senators feeling strongly that The Eye abuses its power, though just as many feel the The Eye is necessary in combating rogue magi.
