The Shuffle Alliance
These are the people who the planet knows as the Shuffle Alliance, the holders of the Shuffle Crests. A loosely aligned group of Martial Artists who occasionally intercede in matters of war, as well as acting unilaterally against injustice and cruelty. We would prefer everyone to continue to think that was the case.
Crest Holders
The five martial artists who have inherited the crests of the original Shuffle Alliance, from the previous generation. The world already knows who they are.
- King of Hearts 4711 - Domon Kasshu
- Queen the Spade 1713 - Chibodee Crockett
- Jack in Diamond 1271 - George de Sand
- Club Ace 0001 - Sai Saici
- Black Joker - Argo Gulskii
Non-Crest Holder Command

Captain Neate's association with the Alliance came to light during the Gryps Conflict, but he is mostly associated with the crest holders.
