Kin of Grimoire

About
The Kin of Grimoire are a mysterious organization which are reportedly seeking to create the ultimate wizard through different means of experimentation. Their members have been modified to tie their astral presence to deeper reserves of their spirit, giving them a prior unseen depth of magic which seems to have both good and bad side effects. On the strong side, their magic seems to be of a high level, breaking rules and imposing outcomes more on theme than anything. On the bad side, those put under such experiments have odd things happen to their bodies. As one ex-member put it, after certain experiments she became 'broken'. It's been said that the Kin of Grimoire have a deeper motive for their Ultimate Wizard. Recently the member Rurose revealed to PARADIGM that the Kin hope to create this wizard in order to combat the return of The Black Wizard Zeref, said to the cause of the end of the last age, and now long since thought a myth. While the Magic Council of Dallurn has ignored signs of his return, the Kin of Grimoire have heeded them and now look to prepare even at the result of criminal activity.
At present, the Kin of Grimoire's directly known crimes are several fold. They hired the Elemental Four primarily through the leadership of Erigor to begin an operation for mass theft of lacrima. They also personally attacked the Library of Infinity with members Melody and Ultear, looking to steal the Astral Tome of Magic, Argente, by taking her core from the tower's magic latticework. Thankfully PARADIGM intervention prevented this, and they only stole the core without Argente's conscious inside. The Agents later intervened on the attempted assassination of the member Emilia, who had since abandoned them but seemed to represent a loose end, and now members Melody and Ultear are said to be on their way to a sealed demon by the name of Deliora in a northern village. While Rurose claims the pair mean to defeat it, their intention with any remnant of it remains unclear.
Members
- Melody - A fairly quiet girl with an expression that never shifts or shows any emotion, her powers contrast heavily with this, seemingly capable of infusing emotions into others and sharing senses to her opponents like pain inflicted upon her.
- Ultear - A decisively acting and assured woman, dressed in flowing gypsy attires, she always carries a crystal orb that floats around her, capable of sending it out at opponents as a weapon. Her main talent seems to be manipulation of time, reverting different outcomes around her, such as the existence of spells incoming at her, or objects dropped from her person returning to her (indeed, her control of her crystal ball seems to be similar). It was recently learned that she can't influence people in this manner, at least to any major capacity.
- Emilia - A perky, if quirky girl, dressed as an elegant dancer, she was met by PARADIGM when she was aiding orphans in escaping bad circumstances at the Mother Mae foster home in Clover Town. Instantly cooperative with the Agents, Emilia revealed herself to be the 'runner' from the group during discussions with them, remembering bits and pieces of her transformation into a member of the Kin, but having a sour taste in her mouth of the affairs she was asked to perform. Few of her powers are known, except that she was seen capable of creating a spacial wall as a barrier, and that she could fade her body mostly out of existence in hiding. She also likes to sing!
- Rurose - A man seemingly locked into the idea of adventure and story telling, he claims that the Kin used to be less villainous than recent times, and hasn't been shown to take personal part in any of their recent crimes. His powers revolve around those of the imagination, tweaking reality in subtle ways by speaking out suppositions or guesswork of the uncertain and having fate favor those ideas and outcomes in small ways.
