The Order was founded by The Dr., a mysterious scholar whose lifelong pursuit of the unknown unfolded step by step, case by case. His investigations—chronicled in the Hidden Ones series—form a chronological record of strange encounters, each building upon the last. What began as scattered field notes grew into patterns, and what seemed like isolated folklore revealed deeper connections. Over time, it became clear that casual inquiry was no longer enough. To face the creatures hidden in the shadows—cryptids whispered of in stories but rarely proven—required organization, discipline, and careful documentation. Out of this progression, The Order emerged: not as a sudden creation, but as the inevitable culmination of his work.

Purpose

The Order’s purpose is to investigate cryptids systematically—to move beyond campfire stories and gather real evidence. Each field agent acts as both scientist and storyteller: documenting encounters, collecting artifacts, and maintaining case files. While others dismiss cryptids as myth, The Order treats them as subjects of study whose existence shapes human culture and fear.
