Lucifuge
Member of the Lucifuge call themselves "the Seventh Generation." Each of them is an inheritor of an infernal lineage, and brought into the Lucifuge as a last resort. There, they will transmute their demonic potential into a useful, well-controlled occult tool for fighting demons and other monsters, or they will die trying.
Endowment: Castigation. The Lucifuge learn strange rituals that allow them to reshape their demonic potential into tools that are (relatively) safe to use. In many ways, the rites of Castigation are a trade-off: instead of that potential being used safely but transforming the Lucifuge into a demon, they are instead volatile and dangerous, occasionally injuring the Lucifuge, but carry (almost) no risk of transforming them.

The Factions
There are three major faction within the Lucifuge, largely philosophical leanings rather than sub-organizations.
- The Denial: Empathy (Discern Intent). The Lady of Milan's own philosophy states that the Devil is callous, selfish, and utterly evil, and that those monsters who invoke or draw upon this power or nature must be destroyed utterly. Those that rebel against their evil natures can be left alone or offered redemption, but its intent and actions must be measured and ascertained.
- The Reconciliation: Weaponry (Knife). This strange faction believes that the world's monsters are themselves the chains of evil which bind Satan to his wickedness, and that if he can be liberated from them, he will repent of his sin and reconcile with Heaven. When this happens, man will likewise be elevated from sin and perfidy. Thus, the utter destruction of all monsters is vital to the redemption of Satan and the salvation of mankind from evil. Members of the Reconciliation recognize one another by the rosewood handled knives they wield.
- The Truth: Academics (Research). These academics are wholly unconcerned with monsters outside of the Lucifuge. Instead, they seek to understand the nature of evil by uncovering the truth about their own lineages, and those of other Lucifuges around them: they exhaustively investigate and spy upon other Lucifuge members, finding out as much as they can about one another. They frequently uncover dark secrets about their fellows, and they do not hesitate to use those secrets to their own advantages.
The Thirteen
Each member of the Lucifuge who is not part of its leadership is given "the Thirteen": the names and information for contacting the thirteen Lucifuge closest to them geographically. They are expected to check in with one another occasionally, and to call upon one another for assistance where possible.
