Smoke Knights

According to Violetta and Tarvek the Smoke Knights are an order, all drawn from a family related to Tarvek’s, who serve as the hereditary personal security force for his family. They also do foreign information gathering and may have additional duties typical of intelligence agencies and secret service organizations.

Ordinance
Violetta possesses a grapnel gun.

Evidently there is a collection of Smoke Knight doctrine known as the Yellow Codex.

Possible Members
Violetta is the only known member, and a rather incompetent one by her own admission. In all likelihood, a competent member would not have revealed her position to the Heterodyne. Violetta also revealed that another member was under cover as employee of the hospital, but got herself killed. Most likely this was the nurse seen attempting to administer “a vitamin” to Baron Wulfenbach, and the first victim of Gil’s lightning staff; although, if so, it is not clear what Dr. Sun Jen-djieh meant that she was not “one of theirs”. Either she was not actually employed by the hospital and had managed to avoid detection for an extended period of time, or Sun meant only that she didn’t belong to his immediate team or on that floor. (Or else Violetta was referring to someone else, but of the characters depicted, this is the most likely candidate.)

Veilchen is another possible member, based on the similarity of his dress, his working directly with the Sturmvoraus children, that he possessed similar toys, and even his name. It uncertain because, naturally, being one of their best, he doesn’t go around revealing to foreign military operatives state secrets such as the name of his organization. (Although, if they are in need of funds, they now know of a clientele who might be interested in their swag.) Violetta has also mentioned a Grandma.

Violetta suspects that Moloch von Zinzer has trained as a member of the organization, but this suggestion should be pondered, if at all, with Violetta’s general incompetence kept firmly in mind.
