First Triumvirate

== Basic Information ==
The First Triumvirate, officially known as the Hospitaller Triumvirate, or simply, the Triumvirate is a political alliance between Grandmaster Bree, Grandmaster Shararia and Pope Gregorius VIII designed to promote the interests of the Hospitallers via the use of political action across the genre. Today it serves as the primary academic establishment for the study of Hospitaller history, and mainly focuses its attention outside of the genre. Alongside historical study, its other main purpose is to declare the legitimacy of aspiring Grandmasters. Although the Triumvirate is only made up of three Triumvirs, several former and current Hospitallers serve in its order under various honors. Including Former Grand Marshal and Grand Hospitaller Cappe, Grandmaster Nablus and Grandmaster Phlegyas, to name a few. The First Triumvirate has been involved in several political engagements over the course of its existence, and is a key component of the Hospitaller Underground.
== Hospitaller History ==
Grandmaster Bree took his experience as the former and final Lead Educator of the Hospitaller Academy to foster study of Hospitaller history outside within the First Triumvirate, away from the eyes of the Judiciary, which has long been suspected of hiding the Order's beginnings. In particular, the key moment in which the search began was the theory of the Ancient Grandmasters, established in 2020, and heavily focused on by the First Triumvirate.
The Triumvirate's study of Hospitaller history has attracted long-time veterans such as Grandmaster Nablus to its honors, and the Triumvirate maintains connections to individuals such as Grandmaster Morniratu and Grandmaster Ausar.
The First Triumvirate has authored every Grandmaster list since the inclusion of the Ancient Grandmasters, as well as the Hospitaller timeline and the Valetta Chronicles.
== Grandmaster Legitimacy ==
The First Triumvirate has become an important body for the declaration of a Grandmaster's legitimacy. Although the Triumvirate itself does not vote on the Grandmaster, it takes into account the historical precedent of declaring new Grandmasters to reach a conclusion on whether one is legitimate or not. This has become more important over time, as the genre administration becomes more overarching and illegal in its abuses of power.
The Triumvirate's decision in general takes into account;
- Experience of the aspiring Grandmaster (how long they have served)
- The rank of the aspiring Grandmaster and how they achieved that rank (did they rise through the ranks, or were they freeranked?)
- Any previous service in the position of Grandmaster
- Declaration by the previous legitimate Grandmaster that they wish for them to be their heir
- Passing vote from the Hospitaller council
- Passing vote from an order-wide referendum organized by Senior HRs (not genre officials)
== Membership ==
The Triumvirate and its members lean reformist and factionist, with a majority of the order being compromised of anti-judiciary veterans.
