During the Second Wizarding War the group maintained its mission, but with the Order of the Phoenix doing a decent job they didn't interfere with the Order's operations. They stayed under the radar and focused on picking up the slack left by the focus on the Big Threat.
Post-war the group underwent reforms due to the losses and became much more organized and coherent. They grew greatly in size once the country saw the corruption in the Ministry since many wanted to make a difference but didn't trust the government. Over time, the Ministry became trustworthy again, and membership dropped slightly but stabilized quickly. They established leadership positions and chapters dedicated to certain areas of the country. They reached out to international groups and began establishing connections to keep tabs on developing issues and to gain allies. Through some such allies they gained corporate sponsors and were able to create full-time positions and official meeting places instead of gathering in old warehouses and members' homes.
During the Fitzgerald Administration, Vigilance put a lot of time and manpower into protecting people the new policies discriminated against, and they helped to organize the Precinct Riot. Post-Fitzgerald, Vigilance has resumed most of their normal function, but they have a vendetta against Fitzgerald's lackeys and supporters - and the institution that allowed the administration to come to power.
- Assassination:
- Currently, Vigilance is still working through a list of some of the most distasteful folks from the time of the Fitzgerald Administration.
- In short, bad people. Vigilance thoroughly vets any contract or case before they take it on to make sure the facts add up and the target deserves what's coming to them.
- Incident Prevention:
- This primarily is the duty of Vigilance's informants, who report back regarding goings-on they witness or hear about. Informants in the ministry are particularly valuable as Vigilance does not trust the government and tries to get in front of any issues that may arise.
- Vigilance will also provide guards or personal security as needed on a case-by-case basis.
- Punishment:
- Vigilance feels that the Ministry is not stringent enough when sentencing criminals, and some crimes go unreported or the perpetrator gets off or away on a technicality, and they make a point to correct that. They don't always go directly to murder - sometimes they do less violent things, like theft or vandalism or impromptu amputation.
Vigilance welcomes anyone with a relevant skill to contribute to the group, both on a paid-but-unofficial full-time basis and a volunteer part-time/on-call basis. In recent years, Vigilance has begun to take on more contract work, and as such paid positions do pay enough to live modestly but comfortably. Payouts for contract work do go into the organization's account, but members working on that specific contract do get a % bonus on top of their base pay, if applicable.
- Currently in search of:
- Assassins
- Spies
- Healers
- Accountants
- Volunteer informants
Want to get involved, but aren't sure you have a skill that falls into one of those categories? That's fine! It all depends on how you spin it. Vigilance has a place for everyone except for snitches.
Vigilance Warehouse is one of two warehouses owned by OOSC and is used primarily their as surplus/backup storage - at least on paper. Vigilance uses this facility for training, storage, mission briefings, and as a hospital as needed and it's protected by extensive enchantments and deterrents to ensure they have privacy. During the Fitzgerald Administration, the warehouse was outfitted with living quarters to accommodate Vigilance members and their families as needed, as well as other folks who found themselves displaced or on the run due to Fitzgerald's policies. While all those policies have been rolled back, the warehouse remains the same, and some people have opted to continue living on the premises.
