Brotherhood of Magisters

The Brotherhood of Magisters

The Brotherhood of Magisters are an ancient sect of magic users founded during the Dark Ages in which they thrived as a society. With their power diminished in modern times, the Magisters desired to return the world into its archaic state so they could rule it.

History

The symbol of the Magisters

The Magisters ruled during the Dark Ages, when their magic inspired fear. However, as technology advanced and modern times took over, their power declined and their times faded away. They have roots in many places, including the police, as an English policeman is seen being a member of the Magisters. When they only have fellow magisters for company, they wear ancient-style white robes with purple trim; when in public, they will wear modern clothes to avoid being recognized by outsiders, though they all wear an item of jewelry with the Magister symbol on it as a more subtle show of their allegiance. Their primary weapon is a spell they use to fire electrical discharges from their hands.

In the 21st century, the Magisters stole the ancient Stonehenge, believing it to be a magical weapon of mass destruction (while others say it calls aliens) by simply lowering it below ground. By happenstance, Jackie and Jade Chan came upon the Magisters by accident, as Jackie was doing an archaeological dig in the very castle the Magisters used for a fortress, and accidentally fell down a trap door. Believing that Jackie heard their plans, the Magisters began to chase him all over London before the Chans decide to investigate.

The Magisters eventually captured them and decided that, since the Chans already knew enough that the Magisters could not risk letting them live, they might as well tell the Chans the rest of their plot. The Magisters revealed their plan to use the power of Stonehenge to destroy every major city and plunge the world into a new Dark Age for the Magisters to rule once more. But over the phone, Uncle used a spell that cancelled their magic. With their spell weakening, the head Magister used one last blast, and Stonehenge fired into the sky, only for London to not be destroyed. Interpol agents then came in to arrest the Magisters. With Jackie's testimony, the Magisters would be locked up for a long time.

But, unknown to everyone else, Stonehenge did do something: it left a signal for a flying saucer.
