History
The Bookman Clan (Japanese: ブックマン一族, Hepburn: Bukku man ichizoku?)
Around 35 years ago, a Bookman from he clan was noted to had allied himself with the Noah Family.
Overview
In appearance, the Bookman Clan were a secretive group dedicated to the preservation of records of historical events in the world. They were noted for being a large-scale clan which had members everywhere, and they came together to support the Bookman as the clan's leader by paying for things such as travel expenses, so the leader can focus on their logs. These members needed to conceal their Bookman lineage and outwardly lead a normal life.
Their goal was recording and maintaining the true hidden history of the world. According to this, it was vital for them to stay unbiased at all times and remain completely neutral. This was because when recording history, even the slightest bias could taint information. As a direct result of this requirement, many other rules had been formed to prevent bias. The foremost of these rules was the prohibition of any attachments or affections. Another consequence of this was that friendships were deemed to be forbidden. An extension of this required neutrality was that the Bookman Clan do not choose sides in wars. They will, however, form temporary alliances with one or both sides of a conflict in order to gain a more detailed record of war and in return may provide information and/or their skills as warriors. The Bookman Clan must not interfere with the events of history and act only as observers. In the event that a Bookman allies with one side of a conflict, it appears that only information and battle support is provided under particular circumstances.
When someone takes up the role of Bookman Junior, they have to change their name every time they change the place of their log. The name they take on at the time will become the name of the log.
In order to provide a detailed and accurate description of the world's history, it was a requirement for the Bookman to possess an eidetic memory.
