[QUOTE="marcoasalazarm, post: 2909694, member: 26698"] [B]-Obsessive.Com:[/B] It was originally a site for a group of fan collectors. Now, post-Vanishing and re-organized by Jordan Kennedy, they are a convention of every kind of 'collector'-style villain ever, and people who wanna be just that. They are out to collect the rarest items out there, just for the bragging rights... by any means necessary. [B]-The Knights of the True Timeline:[/B] They are not one single group. Rather, they are a number of groups reunited under one single banner. They enforce their belief of 'one true timeline' for both Coreline and every single Fiction series out there by hunting down and destroying Alternates for key characters or going to the Alternate Universes proper and doing 'whatever it takes' to get it back to looking like the canon timeline. Unfortunately, they only do lots of unfocused, overkill destruction, which instead could (and will) lead to further changes in the timelines, and so, possibly create more alternate universes, which they visit to 'change' again in a very vicious circle. Insofar, their more destructive act in Coreline Earth was the utter destruction of several neighborhoods in Surrey in an attempt to destroy an Alternate of Vernon Dursely.
