European Branch

The European Branch (or simply Headquarters), located in England, is one of the seven branches of the Black Order and is the main branch, overseen by Branch Chief and Chief Officer Komui Lee and his sister, Chief Assistant Lenalee Lee. Recently, Lenalee was replaced as the Chief Assistant by Brigitte Fey.

Organization
The European 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. In addition, though, because it is the main branch, Branch Chief Komui Lee also acts as the Chief Officer, and can give orders to the other six branches.

Special Duties
Being the main branch, the European Branch takes data from the other six branches, analyzes it and dispenses orders according to what they find. Their Science Division is presumed by the other branches to be the cream of the crop, as most other Science Division members (such as Rohfa, Rikei and Shifu) seem to aspire to transferring to the main branch Science Division.

Facility
The original facility was located at the top of a dangerous-looking plateau, seemingly for security reasons, and was was a campanile-like building, surrounded by a forest with a large wall, occupied by the Gatekeeper, somewhere around it. It was organized as such, from top to bottom : After the attack of the Level 4 Akuma, though, the European Branch as relocated to a far less conspicuous-looking building on an island. The newer building seems to be larger than the last, as it now hosts two new sections of the Science Division and a much larger chamber for Hevlaska.
