5	!!Fascere Order
6
7	[[Characters/ArchipelagoExodusRogues#Terrian Terrian Brogue]] ([[Characters/ArchipelagoExodus Rogues & Brogues]]) is a sometime employee of this organization.

9	[[#Nopcsa]]
10	!!Nopcsa
11	[[quoteright:150:https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/small_nopcsa_624.png]]
12	->'''Played by:''' Lee
13	%%* AdventureDuo: With Terrian. They go back and forth on who's who, though.
14	* AmoralAttorney: Williams certainly pegs him for one of these in Obscured Truth. In point of fact, Nopcsa really is interested in uncovering the true identity of the Butterfly... but only for the Fascere Order's practical benefit.
15	* AscendedExtra: Nopcsa wasn't originally slated to appear past Triannual, but Lee now considers him a second-tier character. Between Emet, Bows, and Ishkabibble, Nopcsa's easily the most prominent representative of the Fascere Order.
16	* CharacterizationMarchesOn: Justified; though it might seem like his sinister, assertive personality from Triannual's first few pages falls by the wayside, Ishkabibble reveals that it's an intimidation tactic that he slips into when dealing with strangers that he knows he can freak out.
17	* CombatPragmatist: Nopcsa's thrown boiling coffee, ripped out piercings, made sexual advances on his male opponents just to distract them, used a holy statue as a shield against an attacking monk, deliberately played bystanders to convince them to attack his opponents, and pretty much every other dirty trick in the book.
18	%%* DirtyMindReading: Provides some of his favorite blackmail material.
19	* GroinAttack: Attempts one on Prime in Luxury Train Ride, another on Sikes in Ishkabibble, and uses one described as a "football punt" on the Lama in Bows. Every time, his opponent {{No Sell}}s the attack.
20	%%* GuileHero
21	* AMindIsATerribleThingToRead: Though Nopcsa's largely unflappable, his brief encounters with inhuman mindsets tend to give him a HeroicBSOD. Especially notable are the twins in Luxury Train Ride, Mandelbrot in Ishkabibble, and ''something'' in Emet.
22	* NoNameGiven: "Nopcsa" is a pseudonym; we've never learned his real name. According to [[http://archipelagoexodus.proboards.com/post/51195/thread this post]], "Nopcsa" was chosen by Order members for being totally unlike his real name in "mystic signature" (in other words, he's making a point of not letting other magical characters pull an IKnowYourTrueName on him).
23	* PstandardPsychicPstance: Zigzagged; when Nopcsa is really flaunting his mindreading, he touches the cheek that his artifact is implanted in. However, it's never clear how much of this is him needing to do it, versus just showing off to intimidate those around him by making it obvious he's reading their minds.
24	* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: He can do these quite well, but only bothers when he knows it'll affect his opponent in the first place.
25	* {{Telepathy}}: The read-only kind, and he milks it for all it's worth.
26	%%* TrashTalk: Pretty much Nopcsa's weapon of choice.
27
28	[[#Garth]]
29	!!Garth Firbolg
30	->'''Played by:''' Lee
31	----
32	%%* AmuletOfConcentratedAwesome: Subverted in how not awesome his amulet turns out to be.
33	* BewareTheNiceOnes: After spending the first portion of the topic getting teased, pranked, and antagonized by almost everybody, he reveals that he's quite possibly the singular most dangerous Power in the entire school.
34	* ButtMonkey: It seems that Garth is only the center of attention when he's on the receiving end of insults. Or, if you're a faculty member at Terminer, tonally inappropriate physical punishment.
35	%%* FakeDefector: In Triannual.
36	* GlassCannon: Garth's powers make him an offensive match for almost any Power in Whelkshore. However, defensively, he's merely a sickly teenager with no combat training. (That's not even mentioning the other [[CastFromHP side effects]] of his powers.)
37	%%* LetsGetDangerous
38	* NewMeat: In Triannual, along with Terrian. Despite the jokes from other Fascere members, though, both are valued a little more highly than the trope suggests.
39	* NoRespectGuy: Meta example. After Garth got sidelined hard during his debut story, Triannual, it's become something of a running gag that he can never get a scrap of recognition from the forum community.
40	* PortalCut: Slices the tip off a meteor the size of Kentucky.
41	* ProperlyParanoid: Is understandably concerned when the prank war in (Dis)Orientation starts escalating.
42	* PsychicBlockDefense: A side effect of his amulet is immunity to telepathy, to Nopcsa's annoyance.
43	* SailorEarth: Garth's Zodiac disc corresponds to Ophiuchus the Serpent, the little-known ''thirteenth'' Zodiac sign.
44	* TechnicolorFire: A whole spectrum's worth, in fact.
45	* ThinkingUpPortals: Normally appears as a pyromancer, but whenever he makes a ring from his flames, he can use it as a bridge to any point outside of Earth's atmosphere.
46	%%* WesternZodiac
47
48	!!Telrien Wallen
49	->'''Played by:''' Cendra
50	----
51
52	%%* StickyFingers
53	* TrickArrow: A handful. She has acid arrows, arrows that inflict confusion, a spring-loaded pronged arrow that operates as a grappling hook, and a white arrow variety with a secret function.
54
55	!!Auguste Tylor
56	->'''Played by:''' Lee
57	----
58	%%* CorruptCorporateExecutive: Projects this image, at least.
59	* NebulousEvilOrganisation: Subverted. The Fascere Order was played up as such in Triannual through speculation on the part of Natalie and other characters, then revealed to be a shifty and amoral but ultimately non-malevolent enterprise. Course, there are definitely at least a few outright villains among its ranks.
60
61	%%!!Nachoset
62	%%->'''Played by:''' Lee
63	%%----
64	%%* WarForFunAndProfit: Nachoset is implied to be the head of handling this for the Fascere Order.
65
66	!!Orville Giguere
67	->'''Played by:''' Lee
68	----
69	* AGlassOfChianti: Serves his guests an enchanted wine.
70	* HalfHumanHybrid: One-eighth Golden Dragon.
71	* ManOfWealthAndTaste: He tries to project this air, but his tastes are admittedly rather tacky, if not outright disconcerting.
72	* TemptingFate: When a prophecy guarantees he'll be alive at the end of a night, he pronounces himself immortal.
