The Knights of Saint Christopher

**The Knights of Saint Christopher**, also known as "The Knights of the Blue Rose", is an elite secret society of werewolves whose mission is the elimination of all dark magic users. Their base of operations is an abandoned house near Belgrave University.

## Overview

The Knights of Saint Christopher have existed for many years. All its members are "champions" chosen by one of the six Hides to become a werewolf and fight against evil magic. Once known as the **Knights of the Blue Rose**, they served The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose as protectors of the Vade Maecum Infernal. However, when the Grand Magus began to be corrupted by it, the Knights abandoned The Order and took the Vade Maecum even though they could not destroy it.

One of the missions of the Knights is to keep the Vade Maecum Infernal in pieces so no one can activate its power. However, given that their members have become more resolute about magic over time, Knights are currently unaware of much of their history, as well as the true nature of their powers.

The Hides are attracted to magic, guiding their champions to fight it. Its main enemies are The Order, although some of its current members have been able to ally with the Knights. Over time, the Knights have fought many evil magic practitioners and confiscated many of the magical artifacts that they keep in their lair.

The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose used *Pulveris memoria* to erase the Knights memories of the Order. They also confiscated all the magical objects from their den. As they began to resist the effects of the memory erasing, Alyssa Drake finally decides to secretly give them their memories back while they join The Order.

After being part of The Order for some time while feigning their missing memories they try to steal back their artifacts, but fails. This eventually leads to Lilith being dragged to the Demon Realm after a fight with Rogwan. The Knights were later given amnesty and officially inducted into The Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, as "The Knights of the Blue Rose". They help with several missions against Praxis, which results in the Knights being given the rank of Magistratus. They continue to serve The Order, while saving Lilith from the Demon Realm.

## Trivia

* Knights must recite the phrase, *"I give my life to the cause"* for them to be initiated into the collective.
* Knights eat the hearts of their first kill. Randall, Hamish, and Lilith originally thought it was just a tradition. However, Jack informed them that consuming the heart stops the flow of magic from one being to another.
* Lilith, Randall, and Hamish, settle most nonunanimous decisions with a game of beer pong.
* Knights usually don't live very long. Hamish Duke mentioned that he's been a knight for eight-years, making him, *"practically geriatric"*.
* Lilith describes the Knights as a gender-neutral collective as opposed to a sacred brotherhood.
