[Season.1] Research Report - AS:Masters

[ Summary ]
Masters is one of the internal organizations within AS, consisting of a total of 12 men.

They primarily perform backup tasks such as espionage, negotiations, and intelligence operations, rather than field missions like assassinations.
As handlers of classified information, heir existence is treated as highly confidential even within the AS organization.

The only individuals whose identities have been revealed within the organization are the three intelligence agents: Mr. Ten, Mr. Parabellum, and Mr. HollowPoint.


[ Background ]
The second leader of AS, Mr. Anyone, had grievances with the organization's operational policies inherited from his predecessor, Mr. One. These grievances led to internal discord within AS, resulting in attempts to suppress and purge the M.A.I.D. organization.

The members of M.A.I.D. grew resentful of Mr. Anyone's control policies, and he eventually issued orders within the organization to eliminate M.A.I.D. This sparked an imminent internal war within AS.
Upon hearing this news, some Masters believed that the internal conflict had to be stopped, leading to the formation of the AS-Masters organization, consisting of specialists in networking and negotiations within the political and business sectors.

Through the negotiations and mediations of AS-Masters members, Mr. Anyone's plan to purge M.A.I.D. was thwarted, ultimately leading to his departure from the organization. AS-Masters expelled individuals associated with Mr. Anyone to address the internal discord and conducted negotiations to ensure the status of M.A.I.D.

Subsequently, AS-Masters specialized in missions based on their high level of intelligence and human networks.


[ Attributes ]
They perform tasks such as gathering information and negotiations from behind the scenes.
These roles have allowed AS to handle requests in a clean and quiet manner, differentiating them from other contract killing organizations.
