PGCI

The original flag

The Prevention of Ghoul Cruelty Incorporation (*abbreviated to PGCI)* was an elite foundation founded by Botan Nero. It focused on preventing humans and ghouls from extreme acts. For example, it would step in if a ghoul was binge eating consistently or if a CCG member would kill innocent ghouls.

It was founded in 1964 by Nero as a division of the CCG, under the name Extreme Force. It then eventually branched out and formed an independent foundation. It ran successfully, and was awarded constantly for it's amazing work to provide peace.

During September of 2013, several employees, including Alex Ushimaru, investigated into Nero and the Board of Management. They eventually found incriminating evidence supporting that Nero and his fellow businessmen had intentionally formed PGCI as away to gain political power. This way, they could pass up rights to make ghouls superior to that of humans, completely contradicting their ethos.

## History

As mentioned above, PGCI was founded in 1964 by then-CEO Botan Nero. Used as a team under the CCG, it was intentionally for bringing down notorious serial killers. It then moved out into itself.

Initially just humans allowed, a new law passed in 2001 allowed ghouls and half-ghouls to join the team. This meant more security restrictions and ghouls still had to face prejudice despite their high ranks.

## Teams

PGCI used a team system to divide up it's investigators into skill levels. The ranking started off at the bottom with **Team Z**, before mvong up to mid-ranks with **Team Y**, and then finishing up high with **Team X**. Colloquially these teams were named upwards from C.

## Flag

The PGCI flag was created and flown on February 23rd, 1964, a few weeks after it was founded. The blue and navy represent security and the law while the shining, white sun represents peace and a new age of equality and balance.
