Aegis

## Introduction

The Aegis is one of the four great conglomerates of the Outerverse. They are a group that on the surface provide mercenary services to the general public, and are a security company but they are the ones that have countless training grounds across the Outerverse, as well as the greatest assassination organization in the Outerverse.

### History

The history of Aegis begins with 10,000 years ago where a huge extermination operation was launched against the Outerverse that targeted all of the Outerverse's assassination organizations. The operation managed to wiped out more than half of them, but the mastermings behind those assassination organizations managed to escape. They were the ones who created Aegis afterwards, and this is also the story of how Aegis was started. Those few people were very smart, and they knew that if they recreated those assassination organizations and grew too strong, it would simply lead to another extermination operations. Hence, they established a mercenary company in the open and trained mercenaries to accumulate wealth from wars. The assassins remained secret.

These people created Aegis, and they are also the masterminds behind its structure. Nobody knows how many people comprise the original group of founders, only that they take turns in cryostasis. Every hundred years, one of them comes back to life and manages the organization for a hundred years before going back into cryostasis. The next one then takes over, and they take turns managing Aegis like this. They are the true managers of Aegis.

They did not create Aegis to be a private organization, Instead, they have an external board of directors who are supervisors secondary only to the original founders. These board members might be recruited from large clans or huge corporations, and after so many years, nobody knows how many clans and corporations have joined Aegis. The reason why they join is usually to borrow Aegis’s strength, while also avoiding Aegis’s assassins and the fate of ending up as mere sacrifices.

Aegis’s second level management is roughly estimated to consist of thousands of people. They are not able to decide the direction of Aegis, but they are able to influence Aegis in certain other aspects. For example, they can decide which member of a certain family is to be assassinated, or which side should be supported in a war, and so on. More importantly, Aegis is able to borrow the strength and influence of its second level members to complete certain tasks.

## Story

Aegis held six of the top ten assassins within the Outerverse, but Lu Yin killed Feng Yi, Peerless Beauty and ordered Old Smoker to counter assassinate The Magistrate, the Poisonmaster.

Starfox was the current awakened Hunter cultivator who is almost at the Enlighter Realm in charge of Aegis. After the Endless Warfront against the Sixth Mainland had happened, the hidden experts from Aegis emerged as well. It was revealed there used to be five members of the original first level management who created the Aegis, which include Black Mask and a child-like killer (Xiao Zheng), while the other two had already pasted away.

With Lu Yin's influences as an Honored Chosen, the Aegis was then put under the Hall of Honor's protection as part of Lu Yin's subsidiary power without being supervised. With the backing of the Hall of Honor, the Aegis finally has the background and and status needed to not be targeted by other organizations as the past. In return, Aegis now is part of Lu Yin's ship in helping him assisting the Great Eastern Alliance.

After the war against the Sixth Mainland, the assassin that looked like a child had died and Aegis lost many of their top rank assassinates and could no longer compared to it's peak. With the Sixth Mainland taking over the Outerverse, Aegis' headquarters had to move.

Located at the Aegis headquarters was a planet with a dagger which there are cracks in the void on this planet, and there are ruins of an ancient sect within those cracks. It was the location which the curio cloakstone which Aegis managed to obtain. There was a black sun which contained the Ancient Progenitor's God of Death's power of death energy.
