The Holy Order Of Canadian Disciples: We Stand On Guard For Thee
Never mind the Mounties, this is a new century, a new millennium. And a new millennium requires new heroes. Borders are disappearing, enemies are taking different forms, the Great White North is melting and the people don't know whom to turn to. A shadowy outfit known as the Holy Order of Canadian Disciples have dedicated themselves to the protection of the Dominion, taking the black maple leaf as their mantle. They seek neither public nor government approval, hearkening back to an older, some say forgotten sense of frontier justice and New World imagination. They bring ancient values to this young nation, combining the fervor of the prairie populist, the mystique of the French Jesuit orders and the British tradition of the gentleman-soldier. Their black robes and religious symbology is based on their idiosyncratic, largely hidden belief system, which is known to include the recognition of Louis Riel as divine prophet and the deification of Canada as the mystical Ultima Thule, the Promised Land of the North. Their base is said to be somewhere in the wastes of the Northwest Territories, the so-called Frozen Jerusalem, running on telluric currents from a forbidden temple directly beneath the North Pole. But who are these journeymen, these dreamers, who dare forge their own cryptic vision of a Canada sea to sea? They are:
The Montreal Magi, inheritor of the forgotten French esoteric tradition, student of Jesuits and Kabbalists, a Quiet Revolutionary prowling the Old City in search of salvation and the secrets that lurk beneath.
Lord Ironcross, British aristocrat banished from the United Kingdom for unknown offenses against the royal order, a believer in Canada as the British Empire's chosen descendant and the transmutated banner-carrier of Anglo civilization.
The Spirit Ranger, half-Inuit shaman and seer into other dimensions, unrivalled in his knowledge of the dark and the cold both in the Arctic and in man's heart.
Father Dominion, wizened founder of the Holy Order known for his cryptic wisdom and intimate knowledge of his country's terrain and soul, unwearied by age and possessor of the legendary Vinland runes, rumoured to grant primordial strength and vision to their possessor.
Newfoundman, descendant of the greatest navigators of the Maritimes and self-proclaimed spiritual heir of Newfoundland's original Viking explorers, master of the fiddle and protector of the Atlantic through hatchet and harpoon-gun.
Cold Lady Midnight, a former Vancouver prostitute turned dark seductress of the streets, known for a "zero tolerance" policy towards drug use that includes the free distribution of syringes filled with potassium chloride.
The Great White Avenger, a loose cannon among loose cannons, former populist prairie preacher turned grey-bearded vigilante enforcing national unity and Western values through the tip of his poison-bladed cane.
