Over the last decade, the group was responsible for scheming and building an empire of lies that operated in the shadows. At some point around eight years ago, a vampire was responsible for the Whitechapel murders that the Order eliminated. They later went through painstaking acts to dress them as the work of the serial killer called Jack the Killer where they mutilated the bodies to hide the signs of vampiric feeding. They were also responsible for killing the family of Professor Van Helsing who embarked on a quest in reviving their ancient enemy Dracula. During the Victorian era, an American businessman by the name of Alexander Grayson threatened their powerbase by showcasing geomagnetic technology. In reality, Grayson was the undead vampire known as Dracula who intended to shatter the power structure of the Order by removing the reliance on oil as fuel. With this resource gone, he believed that the Order would be destroyed as they lost their money, power as well as influence. Grayson later was responsible for killing the skilled huntsman Kruger that led to the Order being aware of the presence of a vampire within the city.
