The Luminary and Rehabilitating Center for Awakened Individuals, or LARCAI had been founded in 1937, by a mysterious individual who has since given up their role of leadership. Created to help and rescue people no matter Sleeper, Awakened or Hunter. They advocated for equality and peace, brokering peace between factions and giving sanctuary to the lost. They act much like social service but retrofitted for the Awakened world, complete with their own operational and intelligence branches.
In the past decade, LARCAI has allied themselves with various mage councils, changeling courts and even Kindred courts to receive supplies and protection from established organizations who wish for the same peace. Their most prominent connection is with the Sons of Ether mage council which seems out of character for them to affiliate with such an organization. Many of their contributions tell stories of saving people from oppressive Awakeneds, deranged Hunters and even war itself.
After their escape from the Mafia and work alongside the Midnight Association, Elijah has learned many lessons throughout his time in various work trips across America. Even learning under an ex-union archmage to help Elijah master his own spheres of magic, he was also suggested to join the Sons of Ether Tradition to receive protection and recognition for his creations. After the death of his father, Elijah founded LARCAI in hopes of living on Gerard’s dream of helping people when the hunter couldn’t.
Taking upon himself to create an organization based on his experience with the hunters to organize and monitor a cohesive group of people capable of rescue, brokering peace, providing sanctuary and even as social service. During World War Two, the mage took volunteers with him to Italy in an effort to help war refugees escape and to calm the tides of war.
Years of working and fighting off Awakeneds with malicious intent has made Elijah weary and tired, now they have arrived in San Francisco to not only continue their work in a more peaceful manner, but also to visit family and perhaps even settling down. Now, Elijah seems to have applied for Mercurius Maximus Academy as a magic instructor, specializing in control and manipulation of magical output.
