Asian Branch

Asian Branch (アジア支部, Ajia shibu), located in China, is one of the seven branches of the Black Order, overseen by Branch Chief Bak Chang and Chief Assistant Sammo Han Won.

Organization
Asian Branch follows the traditional organization that all branches of the Black Order follow, with a Branch Chief and Chief Assistant overseeing general operation and seven subdivisions functioning concurrently.

Special Duties
No specific special duties are currently assigned to Asian Branch, though in the past it was home to the Second Exorcist Program.

Facility
Unlike the other seen branches of the Black Order, Asian Branch is located in an underground cavern, converted for human use when the Black Order was first founded. The entrance is apparently located in the side of a cliff, surrounded by waterfalls and with a lake in front of it. It is sealed off by a massive door that acts as the resting place of the guardian deity, For, when she is not in her physical form.

For has noted that it is larger than the European Branch (at that time located in the first Headquarters) and was still growing.



Somewhere within the facility is an area called Laboratory 6, which was the main facility of the Second Exorcist Program until the project was shut down after the murderous rampage of Alma Karma and the slaughter of the staff who worked there.
