The Organization

The Organization refers to the unnamed group that creates and commands the Claymores.

Mode of Operation
Upon completion of a job, a man in black collects the fee. Towns that fail to pay receive no further help, and will be left at the mercy of the Yoma. Teresa, after completing a job, hints to a villager that the Organization itself may send Yoma to the towns that fail to pay, and that such towns are doomed. It was also noted that Dietrich mentioned to the Seven Ghosts (sans Miria) about her home town that was destroyed. She explained that the village chief and a man in black were arguing over something at that time. Shortly after, the village was atttacked by Yoma and Awakened Beings. Later on, Deneve deduced from what she heard from Miria that the Organization is secretly creating male Half-Yoma and Half-Human beings. This was later confirmed after the Claymores in the Northern Path took down the facility that were turning males into Half-Yoma and Half-Human creatures.

Known Special Positions

 * The Organization's
 * Claymore No. 10 / Anti-warrior

Handlers
Though they don't wear standard uniform, all handlers are usually identifiable by their all-black apparel. Known handlers are Rubel, Ermita, Orsay and Rado (Men in

Dae, while not a known handler, appears to be in a division of the Organization calls the Retrieval Squad, which collects specimens such as the flesh of Awakened Beings for research.

Elders
The highest ranked Organization member seen so far is Rimuto, who has been seen giving orders to handlers and even some Claymores directly.

Miria's Hypothesis
Miria hypothesizes that the Organization creates Yoma and Awakened Beings. Furthermore, she speculates that Island World of Claymore is actually a research center for the creation of Awakened Beings that can be controlled. She reveals that across the ocean, there is a "bigger land" where there have been territory war between two different kinds for over a hundred years. On one side, the Dragon's Kin are nonhuman creatures with "extremely tough skin," referred to as the Draconic Tribe. On the other side, in order to defeat the Dragon's Kin, the Organization was created to research and develop a weapon known as Awakened Beings. Claymores are part of the research, which will eventually Awaken.

Initially, male Claymores were sent to the battlefield and Awakened upon encountering the Draconic Tribe. However once Awakened, they were unable to turn back to human form. As weapons, they were left on the battlefield to continue fighting until they were destroyed. In contradiction, those that were able to proceed back to their own base eventually end up destroying their own side. So the Organization was given the order to continue with the research on an isolated island to create Awakened Beings that are able to revert back to human form or rather able to be controlled. The progression results in Luciela and Rafaela which appeared to be a failure, nonetheless acts as a stepping stone to the creation of Soul Link, Alicia and Beth. Although having Soul Link allows the transformation of one twin to revert back from Awakened Being, if the other twin that acts as the controlling party is killed, the result remains the same. Therefore, the research continues.

Truth
Later Miria's hypothesis was indeed proven true during the Organization collapse, where Miria uncovered the secret facility that held the half dead remain of the Asarakam's and it was confirmed by Rimuto, the leader of the Organization that they were indeed the one's responsible for creating Yoma and developing the Awakened Beings as super weapons in their war against the Asarakam.

Later during the battle between Priscilla and the Riful-Like Being, Dae, the head researcher and developer for the organization confirmed that they were actively researching the creation of Claymore and their resulting power once Awakened. In this study, it was revealed by Dae that "Hatred" itself played a huge part in the Claymore's overall power development and powerful Claymores were usually created when the warrior in question harbored immense hatred for Yoma. This was observed during training, by analysing the amount of trauma the trainees have endured and to see if they despise yoma enough to completely abandon their sense of self preservation in order to destroy them. Dae even admitted that the Organization were guilty of creating such incidents by inducing horrible and traumatic incidents to any potentials.

The End
Upon Hysteria and Roxanne's deaths and Cassandra's departure, Miria, Helen and Deneve venture into the Organization's headquarters. They find the place deserted and the three split
