[FIREFLY]

OVERVIEW
"Achieve harmony. Find the truth. Follow the light through all the darkness, follow the Firefly."

This is the single message spoken through a mysterious voice. Many have gotten the emails, but few know their meaning. Their online advertisements are everywhere, but nobody seems to know just who they are or what they want. They are the silent watchers of the people. They were enlightened.

The little known truth about the Firefly organization is that it has in fact existed for quite some time, although they have been quiet up until this point. Funded by private millionaires in Hong Kong, the fireflies are really nothing more than a glorified cult, though they like to believe otherwise. The Ritualists in the organization openly follow Lucifer as the Light Bringer, but never announce this to the public, believing that the governments of the world are out to get them. While this statement does have backing to it, the Firefly organization is somewhat paranoid about their own existence, maybe even more so than the Templar Order. None have been able to track their location or true motives, as even the Vatican's best spies pass them off as a elite group of individuals running a gentlemen's club in Hong Kong. Obscene, but no real threat to the world, so they think.

Firefly differs from most other cults in the fact that it is not as solid as one would think. This is perhaps why they have survived for so long. While the group is intensely organized and spread throughout several countries, it is also loose canon and disorganized at the same time. The Firefly Inner Circle are really the only true ones considered to be fireflies, even though they call all other members in affiliated groups by this term. Firefly has always been more of an idea than an organization in a way, constantly changing their member base and names to add to their anonymous nature. Little known to the people, some of these Inner Circle officials are well-known role models and business leaders worldwide; each consistently changing names and acquiring new identification and even disguising themselves to appear as someone else when on their way to a Circle meeting.

The fireflies have been right under everyone's noses all this time.

HIERARCHY
INNER CIRCLE:
Disguised as a simple group of whacky illusive men running a strip joint, the Inner Circle is so much more than that. Each one of these men (or women) are extravagantly rich, perhaps some of the richest men in the world outside of the ones who have given their fortunes to the Templar Order. These are the real Fireflies, the ones who came up with the ideal of it all. That being said, they will stick by their belief that Lucifer is the true savior no matter what. They are the light through the darkness, and are willing to help out anybody who shares the same view. And of course, eliminate all those who find out their true nature.

EQUIPMENT AND TRAINING
Each funded group gets a lecture on how to hide their appearance and involvement in the cult. It should be duly noted that any affiliate that releases their connection with Firefly will be terminated completely, and attempts will be made to utterly and completely bankrupt them, so this lecture should be taken very seriously. Oh, and due to the Inner Circle's near limitless funds, acquiring high grade weaponry becomes an almost trivial affair.

ADDED NOTES
Firefly strictly employs Ritualists and Civilians who believe in the cause, being too paranoid to let any other class in close in fear of exposure. Though some Demons have been known to work with the organization.
