Ten Great Saints

Ten Great Saints are the paladins or holy knights at the top of the organization known as the Western Holy Church. Only the strongest soldiers can enter the group, and their hierarchy is decided by strength and ability. As the name suggest, only humans who have reached evolution can enter this group being a Enlightened a minimum requisite, and it is expected for the members to continue to improve themselves so they can attain Saint and even Hero level.

History
Originally created by Luminous Valentine as a division of the general forces among the paladins, she hand picked the strongest fighters with the greatest potential for evolution with the intention of encouraging the creation of Heroes under her command. The role of the Clerics of the Seven Luminaries or Seven Luminaries for short, on the other hand, was to act as mentors to train this potential to the fullest.

Organization
The Church is further subdivided into two big groups: the Crusaders or Templars, paladins under the direct command of Hinata Sakaguchi and the Master Rooks, under the direct command of the Holy Emperor. The line between the two is blurry, especially as the Holy Emperor tends to not give any orders that would interfere with the Templars.

To further prevent misunderstandings and friction, a meeting is held once a month between all members of the group to discuss events and clarify actions.

Hinata Sakaguchi being the strongest fighter not only held the title of Captain of the Paladins, she also challenged Saare for his title as Head Knight of the Master Rooks too. This makes her the indisputable leader of both subdivisions, in effect unifying both subgroups so long as she is in charge.
