The Dorcha take in those who have gone through their trial of seeking, this is usually done with other prospective Dorcha and if you live you become a fledgling member of the organization.
As a member of an adventuring party, you might find it more difficult to pursue a personal agenda that doesn’t fit with the group’s objectives — but on the other hand, you can take down much more formidable targets with the help of your companions.

Suggested Characteristics
Agents of the Irrathóir Dorcha tend to have been raised since their youth into the organization and because of this they are often Naive to the workings of everyday society, preferring to work alone or with others from the organization. Therefore agents are formed by their service to the organization. Their study of Beasts, fighting and monsters, and their relationships to mentors, other students and internal hierarchies affect their mannerisms and ideals. Their flaws might be some hidden grudge or resentment, or an ideal or bond taken to an extreme due to their method of education within the organization.
