Patron Family

A Life for Lives

The ends justify the means - the Zodiac are researchers who would gladly sacrifice one person today if it might benefit hundreds later. Their ways are dangerous and have had their fair share of controversy over the years, as their studies focus on the creation and control of the undead. 

Specialty

Research - The Zodiac Order specializes in solving the most complex of problems and riddles.

Key Individuals

Zodiac - Manic leader of the Order, known for experimentation on the dead.

Virgo - Zodiacs friendly and bubbly prized student… and as his potential successor.

Aries - Virgo’s main rival, known for his temper and disdain.

Gemini - A scorned student of Zodiac’s who fled before the final trials.

Organization

The Zodiac Order has Zodiac at the helm supported by a cabal of apprentices that act as advisors during his more manic periods. The rulers can be identified by their titles which match the names of constellations. 

Basic Society Membership - “Unnamed.” Rarely seen in Requiem proper, these followers of Zodiac have yet to receive a name.

Proficient Society Membership - “Named.” These apprentices of Zodiac have completed at least one of his trials.

Master Society Membership - Zodiac himself, who treats his family almost as a cult.

History

Zodiac and his followers were exiled to the Fold for the most obvious of reasons - the practice of strange experiments on the undead. Called (perhaps not unfairly) “a necromantic death cult” they don’t speak much of their history to outsiders, but have been accepted in Requiem based on the strength of their research.
