World Police

The World Police was an international police organization established by the Freesis Foundation. Coordinating intelligence and officers from every government, the force helped manage security and law enforcement across the entirety of Evillious, especially in international disputes. The police cracked down on criminal activity threatening the interests of the governments and business active in the region.

Foundation
Following negotiations between Freesis Foundation CEO Shaw Freesis and all the Evillious governments, the World Police was established in EC 573, headquartered in Bariti, Marlon; officer Ein was made the first commissioner of the organization. Setting up a branch within each nation in Evillious, the World Police coordinated the local police networks into their central intelligence departments. At the same time, a secret police was developed for use by the Freesis Foundation.

Alongside the separate national branches, the International Works Department was based at the headquarters and was given emergency power to supercede government authority for international cases. Limited to twelve members, the organization was named "Justea" after a past Beelzenian Emperor by its first chief. With funding from the Foundation, the police began cracking down on criminal syndicates throughout the region. As time progressed, the World Police gained great success in putting down criminal organizations and helping maintain security for the local governments.

International Investigations
After several of the original manuscripts of Yukina Freesis' lost works were discovered being sold on the black market, the foundation issued a Lost List naming all missing manuscripts for the public to be turned in upon discovery.[16] As the years progressed, the foundation had the World Police mercilessly crack down on copyright defilers and criminal syndicates illegally distributing the famous novels.

In EC 597, the World Police opened a case to investigate the town of Lioness' sudden burning, confirming eye witness reports that the arson was caused by the famous mage Elluka Clockworker. Around this time, the World Police became aware of the criminal organization Père Noël and began to investigate the crime syndicate and its supposed members. At some point, the head of Justea at the time hired Heidemarie Lorre on as an officer in the International Works Department.

Following an attack on the deputy mayor of Elphegort on August 15, the World Police's Elphegort branch opened up a case looking into the matter in Aceid. After discovering Père Noël's involvement, Chief Thomas Ackerman announced the investigation's findings that the criminal organization's leader "First Santa Claus" took credit for the attack on August 30.

Toragay Serial Killings
In early September of EC 609, the World Police's Elphegort branch opened an investigation into the sudden death of Marquis Kaspar Blankenheim. During the investigation, evidence to a potential underground market was discovered in the Blankenheim manor's basement. Pressured from the Freesis Foundation, the World Police halted it's investigation into the supposed black market and settled with its testimony from Dr. Marx Felix that Kaspar died of tobacco consumption.

On September 4, Chief Thomas Ackerman announced their findings that Kaspar was discovered dead in his home on August 31 by his father-in-law, Dr. Marx, and determined to have died of respiratory failure from tobacco. After Dr. Marx was discovered in a coma in his home on September 19, the World Police opened another investigation into his sudden coma and announced they would carefully handle his case in relation to Marquis Kaspar's sudden demise.

Determining from his autopsy that he and Kaspar suffered a mysterious disease, the World Police closed the case and charged Constable Ein Anchor with the case's post-processing and unofficially investigating the underground market in Toragay. The World Police opened another case in Rolled, Lucifenia following the murder of Ton Corpa in his home and disappearance of the manager's idol, Rin Chan. Tasking the Justea department with the case, Officer Heidemarie discovered the involvement of Fifth Pierrot and tracked the assassin down to an inn in Toragay.

After launching a raid onto the establishment on October 12, Fifth Pierrot was discovered to have already fled and, under pressure from the Freesis Foundation, Justea Chief Hob Homer suspended Heidemarie for her history of insubordination and extreme actions. Following the death of Shaw Freesis that same day, the secret police were tasked with informing Hanne and Heidemarie Lorre of their great-grandfather's death and escorting them to Marlon to mourn his passing.

The World Police's Elphegort later opened an investigation into the mysterious deaths of the 24 orphans and staff of Toragay's Charity Institute that same day. Confirming Heidemarie Lorre's presence and involvement in the discovery, they announced they were considering all possibilities in the cause and motive of the deaths and were currently searching for Heidemarie's whereabouts. Shortly afterward, the Freesis Foundation had the World Police enact a state of emergency and quarantine the town to prevent an epidemic outbreak, cutting off traffic leading to and from the town at all checkpoints.

On October 19, the secret police delivered the sisters to the Freesis Foundation and interm leader Bruno Marlon had Hanne and Heide arrested for suspected involvement in the Lioness Burning Incident and Charity Institute deaths, respectively. Later that day, the two women broke out of prison and escaped the Marlon island. On October 21, a police unit were attacked at one of the checkpoints by Elluka Clockworker and Gumillia while restraining a coachman from entering Toragay and the three escaped the officers in pursuit.

Chasing Père Noël
In November, the World Police dispatched a team to survey the state of Toragay. On November 8, the World Police officially announced that all residents of the town had died to a mysterious illness, totaling over 300. Following the murder of five prostitute in Rolled throughout the month, the World Police's Lucifenia branch opened an investigation into the murders. After the Saint Fauro Newspaper reported receiving a letter from the alleged perpetrator, "Fifth Pierrot", the World Police announced their suspicion of Père Noël's involvement despite not yet confirming the letter's validity.
