Officio Assassinorum

The Officio Assassinorum was a concept created and pushed by a handful of Incubators, led by Kyuubey, in order to bring a semblance of formalization and organization to contractees all oevr the world. This was mainly to keep territorial disputes and infighting to a minimum. It was also a way to legitimize the operation as a whole, raise it from its clandestine underground status, and basically make the entire thing a well-greased machine running on tangible resources and adequate support rather than counting on the mettle of a few bright, but still decidedly fragile Magical Girls. To prevent the heat death of the universe requires more than just a clean heart, a pure Soul Gem and a handful of grief seeds - one also needs synergy. Bureaucracy. Zazz. With the Officio Assassinorum came the classification of Magical Girls.[1]

The Officios work mostly like huge businesses with their respective Incubator as CEO. Some formed international alliances, some are rivals and some sworn enemies. But while their employees might consider each other enemies, the Incubators themselves still see themselves as brothers. [2]

The First

The best. The brightest. The Ultramarines of the setting. They only induct Warmasters and Magical Girls of note.

Location: The Moon.

It is said thet a candidate for the First needs the combat prowess of Kharn and the heart of Mami to be half as good as what it takes to get in. The First Incubator is confirmed to be the leader of the Incubator operations on Earth. While each of them acts mostly independantly, he has the right to intervene when seen fit and can invite magical girls from all Officios to join his forces without repercussions.

The Second

The Holy Inquisition of the setting. Witch Hunters and seekers of Magical Girls turned rogue. Abhors heresy. Has a division called the Black Templars.

Location: In a castle in Britain.

The Third

Dissolved. Incubator Status Unknown. Folded into the Ninth.

Last known location: Japan.

The Third Incubator arrived on Earth long before Kyubey and helped him get started. They shared friendly relations until the Third Warmaster, Ahriman, sacrificed a large number of magical girls in a plot to gain the Blessed Ladys favor and was struck down by the Ninth Warmaster, Kharn Valnikov.

The Fourth

Details Unknown

The Fifth

Details Unknown

The Sixth

Monster Hunters. The Warmaster is rumored to be a monster herself.

Location: Australia.

The Seventh

The Peacekeepers. An Officio centered around peace and spirituality. The Incubator contracts Magical Girls seemingly at random, and gladly provides refuge for Magical Girls who want to escape from their Officio.

Location: Unknown.

The Eighth

The Assassins. A very powerful Officio powered with the funding and technology of the most powerful nation in the world, America. The Incubator is a strange one.

Location: Santa Destroy, California.

An Officio filled with bloodthirsty lunatics, even by magical girl standards. They are in competition with the United Assassins Association. The Eighth Officio is home to Wendy Coldown, a mysterious character occasionally appearing in Chiakis dreams. A party of the Ninth visited their HQ in a flashback featuring Sayaka. Other events concerning the Eigth Officio take place in sidestories written by Wendy Cooldown and -That- Guy.

The Ninth

The Murderers. Equal to the Eighth in power, funding and technology through its shrewd Incubator, this Officio in Japan always gets the most lucrative of assignments, along with the Eighth. It also owns quite a lot of business ventures all over the world, and a mysterious R&D facility in Siberia.

Home to the quest protagonists, the Ninth Officio and its Incubator are one of the most important resources at the players disposal, even more so since Chiaki Matsudas promotion to Warmaster. It is the biggest and most efficient Officio, even the other Incubators admid to Kyubeys skill despite their rivalries.

The Tenth

The Thugs. An Officio that had taken to underground dealings to expand its power. Hires out its Magical Girls to criminal organizations.

Previously home to Midori Hanegawa, the Tenth Officio uses underhanded tactics in a ruthless manner to achieve its goals. They are suspected of actively working against the Ninth.

The Tenth Incubator Jyuubey is sort of an outcast among his brothers.

Trivia

Each Officio has their own variation of predicting witch events and other relevant things. The Second uses prayers and seer visions, the Fourth uses statistical analysis, the Seventh reads from tea leaves. The Ninth utilizes its Culexus prognostications which gives the most accurate results.
