| - | When Invictus Kindred are threatened and trouble looms from without, it is the Knights of the Order of the Thorned Wreath who inevitably step to the fore and defend the kindred. Professional soldiers and rescue specialists bound by a strict oath of humble self sacrifice, these Knights are feared and admired in equal proportion. Members of the Order of the Thorned Wreath follow the teachings and motto of Artus Le Jumel of courage, courtesy and loyalty, Spina vampires have these teachings in their blood.

Within them is the unshakeable faith that civility is the salvation of the Kindred; saving grace or not, through their discipline of [[Courtoisie]] it offers them power. Le Jumel founded The Most Honorable Order of the Thorned Wreath, they act as inquisitor and knight for the Invictus, jumping to the fore whenever threats loom from without. Professional soldiers and rescue specialists bound by a strict oath of humble self-sacrifice, the Barbs are feared and admired in equal proportion. |
