The Amphibian Army, in its various iterations, has been one of the most infamous groups of interest, having interacted with every major, and many minor, organizations and groups of interest both on Earth and in the rest of the Milky Way Galaxy. The Army itself was founded on Earth by Amphibian Matteo Shanks, Kevin Ethian-Fox, and Ben, after their mentor Azmuth died, with the Amphibian Army gaineing its name due to Amphibian winning a bet against the other two. The three founders, collectively known as the *Trinity*, have served as the Army's first three emperors for most of the groups existence and currently hold this position once again.

### Current Organizational Structure

The Amphibian Army has gone through a number of structural changes throughout its turbulent existence. Most recently the Army has been structured into three subfactions, the Black Rose Syndicate, the Frozen Legion, and the Twilit Rebellion, each of these groups is led by its own leaders who together form the Army Council. Within the council exists a hierarchy of seniority, as a result, the 13 Emperors of the Black Rose Syndicate, and more specifically the *Trinity*, are considered the highest ranking members of the Army. The *Trinity* is followed by the remaining 10 Black Rose Syndicate emperors, who have all been, at the very least, members of the Amphibian Army since before the Era of Reconciliation. After the Black Rose Syndicate leadership rank the 13 Generals of the Frozen Legion in seniority, they all joined at different times after the Era of Reconciliation and mostly consist of trusted Amphibian Army allies turned members. Finally in the seniority ranking come the three leaders of the Twilit Rebellion, collectively called the *Trifecta*. They, alongside the rest of the Twilit Rebellion, are the most recent additions to the Amphibian Army and thus only hold limited authority.

Below the Army Council each subfaction has its own established hierarchy, with an unofficial seniority ranking existing between the factions. For example, the members of the Black Rose Syndicate are generally the most revered and respected, even among the Frozen Legion Generals, as most of them have been members of the Amphibian Army for a very long time. This often results in Black Rose Syndicate members taking command in crisis situations even though a General is present. Members of the Twilit Rebellion do not conform to this to the same extent, and most often follow the *Trifecta* rather than regular Black Rose Syndicate members, although should a situation arise, where the *Trifecta* is unable to give orders, they are willing to follow the unofficial seniority ranking.

### Subfaction member makeup

#### Black Rose Syndicate

In terms of raw numbers the Black Rose Syndicate is the smallest of the three subfactions, numbering only ... members, but most of the members of the Black Rose Syndicate have been members of the Amphibian Army for significantly longer than the members of the other two factions. Most of the Black Rose Syndicate members have been a part of the Amphibian Army since before the Era of Reconciliation, which means they joined over 4000 years ago. There are only a handful of exceptions to this rule, which consist of member that joined after the Era of Reconciliation, but before the Frozen Legion was incorporated into the Army. In terms of structure, the Black Rose Syndicate follows a rule they call 'The Rule of Two', this means that every member of the Black Rose Syndicate has a designated partner, which becomes a point of reference in crisis situations. Should their partner not be present in a crisis situation it is still suggested that no one act alone and that people find other Amphibian Army members before deciding to take action. For all of the Black Rose Syndicate members that joined before the Era of Reconciliation, they are referred to as either an Overcommander or an Undercommander, with their partner having the other designation, this is a remnant from an old hierarchical structure in the Amphibian Army and no longer indicates a higher or lower rank. The Black Rose Syndicate, is currently housed on the Amphibian Army flagship, called the 'Unholy Divine'.

#### Frozen Legion

The Frozen Legion is mainly made up of three organizations that fused after the 'Ravaging of Kalifax', these groups were, the King's Guard, the Order of Occultism, and the Scarred Fallen. originally joined forces with was incorporated into the Amphibian Army

The Army started out as a hero organization on Earth, trying to protect the planet from both inside and outside threats. I after a set-up by Zarc, that led to a massacre of civilians in the city of Istanbul, the Amphibian Army began being despised by the general public, and most governments on Earth attempted to shut down the Army.
