History Series / TheOrder

** LeeroyJenkins: Midnight, The Reckless One, who will bond with anyone who gets close enough. The current Knights call him "Cannon Fodder." [[spoiler:Alpha calls him the one to make the HeroicSacrifice. Season Two reveals that Midnight really doesn't like Silverback, because of his tendency to act from emotion without thinking and make things worse -- given that Silverback's previous host, Jurgen Sawyer, nearly completed the ''Vade Maecum'', Midnight has a point. Midnight's mission is to keep Silverback in check, lethally if need be, though whether this is official, unofficial, or self-appointed is left unexplored for now. We also get to see Midnight's actual personality, instead of that of his Champion, it pretty much boils down to "KillEmAll and let. . . eh, I've already stopped caring."]]

* WhatHappenedToTheMouse: Renee's necromancer twin sister spends the entirety of ''Homecoming: Part Two'' relentlessly hunting Alyssa and Jack with her ability to predict the future to retrieve her [[PhoneCallFromTheDead necrophone]], killing people and turning them into zombies to aid her hunt. When she gets it she calls Renee, who tells her to KillEmAll and warns her that Jack is a werewolf. She then runs away, escaping with just a few claw marks on her back and hasn't returned since.

* AdultFear: Jurgen Sawyer takes Edward's son as a hostage.

* SlobsVsSnobs: Jack Morton, scholarship townie from literally the wrong side of the tracks versus The Order filled with elitist trust-fund assholes. [[spoiler:Becomes more prevalent in Season Two, with the Knights collectively as Slobs to The Order's snobs, while the Knights are working within the Order to highlight the difference between them. Interestingly,
it's also revealed Hamish comes from a wealthy family but deliberately eschews being a "snob", while it's implied Vera started a "slob" before joining the Order, and has only become a "snob" to blend in with the others.]]

* RealityEnsues: During a large and extremely complicated ritual, Vera instructs Alyssa to "start circulating the water and lozenges, we're going to be here awhile." Even magically-powerful practitioners can't chant Latin for hours on end without some voice maintenance.

Season 2 premiered June 18th, 2020.

-->'''Randall''': ''(whispering to Hamish)'' Do you know who she is?\\
'''Hamish''': ''(whispering back)'' I have literally never seen her before today.

* EurekaMoment: Jack has several, as his keen observation skills and intellect let him piece together clues to the assorted supernatural mysteries that others easily miss. Perhaps most notable, in the first season, he realizes he's not [[spoiler:in the Afterlife per se, but in the collective unconscious, as he saw a memory he was never present for. None of the other dead people made this connection, and Jack realizes he can use this to gain intelligence on Coventry leading up to the final battle.]]

* OurWerewolvesAreDifferent: The werewolves don't transmit their abilities through bites. The ones we've seen consider themselves a knightly order whose purpose is to hunt down those who use magic to hurt people. The become werewolves through bonding with the hide of a werewolf. There are five [[spoiler:and a sixth is revealed late in the first season]]: [[TheSmartGuy Tundra]], [[NervesOfSteel Greybeard]], [[InformedLoner Timber]], [[LeeroyJenkins Midnight]], [[TheBigGuy Silverback]], and [[spoiler:Alpha, presumably the "true" leader]], and the hides are attracted to "champions" who share their personality traits. If a werewolf is killed, the pelt returns to a special box, where it waits for a new champion to bond with.

*** In the first season finale, [[spoiler:Vera has a book in her desk drawer with a cover very similar to that of the ''Vade Maecum''. It's the actual ''Vade Maecum'', which cannot be destroyed.]]
*** [[spoiler:Where is Alpha, and what happened to his pelt? How does this tie in with the "dumb luck" that resulted in Jurgen Sawyer being trapped in the ''Vade Maecum''? Alpha was hosted by Salvador Grant's father, and she took up the hide after him, and started Praxis to bring magic to all the people.]]
*** [[spoiler:Silverback is free of the ''Vade Maecum'' and needs a new champion, since Jack is now bonded to Midnight. Jack rebonds with Silverback accidentally, then has to choose as the two hides are killing him. He chooses Silverback.]]
*** [[spoiler:Vera reclaims all the "confiscated" magical books and artifacts from the Knights, as well as everything from Edward's house. The Knights steal these back, along with several of the Order's own potent artifacts, only to have the lot stolen out from under them by Praxis.]]
*** [[spoiler:How much of the Knights' memories did the Order take? And the Knights had figured out how to reverse that process; do they still possess that capability and will they figure out to use it? Vera assigns Order handlers to the amnesiac wolves to try and bring them into the Order, but the Knights are remembering things and need fresh mindwipes every few days. Alyssa eventually gives up and restores their memories, the Knights brew a potion to protect their minds from ever being tampered with again, and begin working with the Order.]]

In modern times, in Belgrave University, there lies a branch of the Hermetic Order of the Blue Rose, a cult that practices magic. Jack Morton (Creator/JakeManley), a freshman, seeks to join this order to take down its head, the Grand Magus Edward Coventry (Max Martini). Not long after being accepted, Jack is forcefully inducted into another secret organization: the Knights of Saint Christopher, a pack of vigilante ''werewolves'' dedicated to protecting the world from evil magics by any means necessary - especially the violent ones. As the Knights' inside man, Jack struggles between two conflicting desires; protecting the innocent from the sociopaths among mages - especially Coventry - and learning how to channel magic for the forces of good with his love interest Alyssa. Unfortunately for him, he doesn't have enough time to sort out his issues - The Order has found something fundamentally wrong, and they're pulling out the stops to unleash it.

* TooSoon: InUniverse. [[spoiler:Lilith asks Alyssa why she was kicked out of the Order, and Alyssa responds "You know how Tragedy Plus Time Equals Comedy?" Lilith astutely observes that not enough time has passed for it to be comedy yet. When Alyssa offers to tell her after enough time has passed, Lilith decides she'd rather not know.]]

** LeeroyJenkins: Midnight, The Reckless One, who will bond with anyone who gets close enough. The current Knights call him "Cannon Fodder." [[spoiler:Alpha calls him the one to make the HeroicSacrifice. Season Two reveals that Midnight really doesn't like Silverback, because of his tendency to act from emotion without thinking and make things worse -- given that Silverback's previous host, Jurgen Sawyer, nearly completed the ''Vade Maecum'', Midnight has a point. Midnight's mission is to keep Silverback in check, lethally if need be, though whether this is official, unofficial, or self-appointed is left unexplored for now.]]

*** [[spoiler:Salvador, host to Alpha, is dead, and Alyssa stated that Alpha's locker was in a safe place, awaiting a worthy champion. Where is that safe place, who knows about it, and who will Alpha choose to bond with next. . . and will he be an ally or enemy of the Knights of the Blue Rose?]]

* MySignificanceSenseIsTingling: The werewolves hear a high-pitched ringing noise whenever magic is being performed. For really big and powerful spells, the ringing is sharper and lasts much longer than usual. Though it doesn't seem to happen every time. . . Vera and Edward routinely open and close the doors of the temple with magic, and many other spells pass without the werewolves being any the wiser, indicating it may need to be specific kinds of spells. Also, as Jack learns to use magic himself it stops causing a ringing (for him and for other werewolves), and when [[spoiler:Alyssa uses a tracking spell to find Randall]] the werewolves are a bit intrigued that they didn't hear ringing, but don't really pause to question why.
