The Cross would be in the Shadows and would emerge to serve and protect whoever, when the were needed. The Order was formed by the first Trussian King and beyond in the age of Kings This organization has served the Monarchy and lurked in the shadows for centuries, they watch, Study, and Worship their lord then perform what is to be needed and to do what is right. They are poetic and gentle to the weak but harsh and violent in response when they pull out their weapons as they have the fighting skills of these Agents and their Order stretches back to the early Days even before the T.I.C, but yet they are not T.I.C they are the Cross and as followers of Jesus they wish to die and sacrifice themselves to be like him if they must.
