World Police

The World Police was an international police organization established under the Freesis Foundation umbrella. Managing security and law enforcement across the entirety of Evillious, the force helped crack down on criminal activity threatening the interests of the governments and business active in the region.

Foundation
With the rise of organized crime in Evillious, several nations began facing trouble with cracking down on violent syndicates with their individual security forces. Sometime after, Freesis Foundation CEO Shaw Freesis proposed the creation of a unified police organization merging the individual police networks. After some negotiation with the political opposition, the Evillious nations all agreed to the establishment of the World Police organization in EC 573.

Per their conditions, the organization centralized disseminating information and cooperation between security branches within each nation while leaving the right for the governments to control their own security forces. Following its establishment, officer Ein, was made the first chief commissioner of the organization, based at the headquarters in Bariti, Marlon.

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. In the following decades, the World Police began cracking down on crimes and coordinating international security throughout Evillious.

Père Noël
At some point, a number of original manuscripts for Yukina Freesis' works went missing from the Freesis Foundation, some rare volumes ending up on the black market for sale. In response, the Freesis Foundation issued a Lost List naming all missing manuscripts for the public to turn in upon discovery, and the World Police opened up an investigation for the list in order to protect the Foundation's copyrights.

At some point, the head of Justea at the time hired Heidemarie Lorre on as an officer in the International Works Department. In EC 597, the World Police opened up a case dedicated to investigating the Lioness Burning Incident and arresting the supposed culprit, the 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 World Police also opened a case into a black market run by Père Noël in Evillious which sold illegal or taboo merchandise such as volumes on the Freesis Foundations' Lost List or sap from the New Millennium Tree. Investigators eventually discovered the center of the trade in Toragay, with rumors of it being run by I. the Santa Claus. Suspicious of the Marquis of Toragay Caspar Blankenheim, the Elphegort branch began to look into Caspar's connection to Père Noël and being involved in the illegal distribution of Freesis Fairy Tales.

In August 30th of EC 609, the Elphegort branch of the World Police became involved in an assault on the deputy mayor Mr. Banner, stating publicly their intention to address the leader I. the Santa Claus, who took credit for the attack. On August 31, the police force discovered Caspar Blankenheim's corpse poisoned in his home alongside his mistress, Eleanor.

After carrying out an autopsy and conducting an investigation into his death, it was determined by Dr. Marx Felix that his death was by a respiratory failure due to choking. Forced to accept the doctor's testimony the case was put on a halt, with no official statement released. Pressured by the Freesis Foundation, investigations into the black market in Toragay also ceased.

The Toragay Serial Killings
On September 19, Dr. Felix was found in a critical condition in his home and refused to wake ten days later; in response, the World Police opened up an inquiry into the cause and soon after determined it to be a result of tobacco poisoning. Despite this, officers such as Ein Anchor continued to look into the case for elements of foul play.

In early October, the World Police opened another case when the idol Rin Chan was kidnapped and her manager Ton Corpa was killed by V. the Pierrot, with Heidemarie taking on the case to track down the missing Idol. Later, after taking into consideration Heidemarie's many insubordinations and instructions from above, Hob Homer took Heidemarie off the case.

Sime time after, the World Police became involved when twenty four civilians in Toragay were killed by a mysterious illness on October 17, banning trade between the city and Aceid to keep the illness from potentially spreading. During this time, under the command of Bruno Marlon the World Police arrested Hanne Lorre and Heidemarie Lorre as suspects in the Lioness Burning Incident and the Toragay Serial Killings, respectively; the two sisters escaped custody soon after.

As the mysterious deaths continued in Toragay, the World Police enforced a complete quarantine on the city until, on November 8, the Police announced the town was almost completely wiped out. Soon after, the police force also determined Calgaround was the new center of the black market. After survivors were found in the ruined city, the World Police worked in tandem with other sources to develop a cure for the infection. In EC 610, the World Police became involved in tracking down the serial killer Lemy the Ripper as he began killing prostitutes nightly in Rolled.
