It appears the coterie of our characters was not the first of its type or purpose.
Some of us have had visions of another coterie, doing much the same things as ourselves (protecting and/or exploiting artifacts and mystical places) all in the name of (choose one: preventing the arrival of Acherdomenos/ expediting the arrival of Acherdomenos).
We seek to find who the members of this previous coterie were. We believe so far that Irving and Francois Chaffee were members... not suprisingly so, given they were the sires of two of our current coterie members.
Other possibilities of members include Johnathan Starr, Jon Areson or any of our sires, though these names are just stabs in the dark.
