The Order of Shadow was established as a way to safely hide and protect beings of the dark that normally would be hunted by blood hunters in large. Those protected were usually victims of higher beings such as vampire lord's, and now had to contend with their new state of being. The order protected them, gave them help, new homes, identities, and if they could, cured them of their ailments. Due to the orders secrecy most individuals do not know of its existence, and members are hand picked from the ranks of the blood hunter apprentices. If an apprentice declines to join their memory of the conversation is erased. 

The Order of Shadow prides itself on its acceptance of the supernatural, taking what it can learn from those it protects. This has allowed them to tap into sources of power unavailable to other blood hunters, whether that be studying the magical secrets of those they hunt or protect, or learning how to tap into ley lines and the weave itself. Their spell casting attribute is intelligence.
