No Name is an order of Assassins first founded three hundred years after the Great Daimao War, for the purpose of eliminating threats to a peaceful Ventus society in a time still filled with turmoil and reconstruction. It was founded by the Sky King himself, after he began to grow weary of keeping an eye on enemies and killing possible threats to his reign by himself. The organization has no name, and is not listed on any official government data aside from the Sky King and Saix's personal data files.
The reason for the order's lack of anything resembling a name is simple; giving something a name is to acknowledge that it exists, and to make it possible for somebody to discover it. The order does not officially exist, is not known by the general Edolas public, and is only even heard about in the highest governmental echelons. This is achieved using extremely strict contract assignment (only the Sky King and Saix have the authority to hand out contracts), mind erasure for anybody who may discover it's existence illicitly, traceless methods of assassination, and the elimination or capture of any possible witnesses to an assassination. Oddly enough, the name "No Name" is used most often when referring to the organization by the aforementioned highest governmental echelons; but generally only mentally, as even speaking out-loud about the organization is strictly forbidden aside from in Council meetings.
No Name consists of Gravity Children Ventus taken from birth to become Brain Chargers; a practice the Edolas public has come to accept as necessary due to the abnormalities present in Gravity Children generally preventing a normal life. But when a Gravity Child has proven unable to work with other Gravity Children to become a Brain Charger, they're pulled from the program; and are instead trained to see if becoming an assassin and spy is possible for them. Generally, they're proven to be able to work as assassins; and are given new codenames to prevent possible association with even their own former Brain Charger brethren, utterly making reconnection with any family they might still have completely fruitless.
They are trained extensively in every form of assassination and combat, are taught hundreds of ways to kill their targets, and are equipped with the latest and most advanced weaponry, poisons, and equipment. But at the same time, they are taught how to blend in with their surroundings, how not to draw attention, how to smooth-talk their way out of any situation, and generally how to spy most effectively on any enemy. In Edolas, they are mainly tasked with eliminating dissenters and possible terrorists. But outside, they are tasked with spying on almost every empire known to Edolas; and have never once been caught in either task. They are mostly without oversight, with only Saix constantly watching their actions, and are generally given whatever they request in order to facilitate loyalty and effectiveness.
