OCT

**The OCT** - Order to Control Terrorism - is a military force built to stop any threats to society.

## Background

OCT is an official national military unit formed to counter and control terrorism. Unlike the police, they are an army under the direct control of the state whose purpose is not to protect citizens or improve security, but to suppress terrorist organizations. Their combat power is high, they have the know-how in fighting demons, and although unofficially, demons officially belong to them.

## Organization

As the organization was created to suppress terrorists and the threats to the national order, they are ready to take down any kind of enemy. Once any actions of terrorism once known and considered as threatening by the state, they will send out a team, a unit, or even the whole force depending on the level of danger the terrorist they are going to face and counter it, whether it is a demon or a human. As demonstrated in the series, they are allowed to carry weapons all the time during the missions and as their purpose is not to protect citizens or improve security, they rarely care about the well-being of the citizens. Once the target is in their sight, OCT will eliminate them without a question.

According to Dratton Bergman, there are two types of target to the OCT:

1. Those who causing chaos for their enjoyment.
2. Individual or a group of people who resort to using violence for their grievances with the society.

The first type is considered criminal, whether they have any significant terrorist action or not, and as OCT's task is to preserve the Order, they are merciless to them. However, as for the second type, they are put into consideration either to be eliminated or should be convinced since it was natural even for the members of OCT to be dissatisfied with society and the current state of order. Thus those who are among the second type are considered worthy of persuading, according to Dratton.

As demonstrated in the case of Dratton Bergman and the Dressel brothers, once accepted being convinced to give up on their terrorist actions they are either put under surveillance or join the organization as state-authorized demon soldiers.

By selecting a number of soldiers who have a strong fealty to the country and using the Shadow of Lhaplus, they gave those soldiers a chance to gain supernatural power and become a demon. Since they made their contract with the approval of the officials, they will be called "State-authorized Demons" within the military and the government.

After being conducted into the special demon force within the military, they will receive a title called "Demon Admin Code". These titles were meant to manage the state-authorized demon and upon receiving the title, the demon's soldiers will be under the control of the nation and will only be sent to some dangerous mission where their power becomes useful.
