Schwarzkreuz

The Schwarzkreuz (lit. Black Cross) is a magic-user organization debuting in Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel as rivals of fellow magic-user organization RKS.

The organization is made up of a type of Magus called Dark Magi, and they make up their home base in a church similar to the Holy Empire's Orthodox Church. They are led and captained by one such Magus named Pamela Arwig.

In their debut in Rosenkreuzstilette Freudenstachel, the Schwarzkreuz launched its own coup against the Empire thinking it was witch-hunting Magi, that while planning a mysterious scheme and having Spiritia Rosenberg kidnapped. They are fought right after Freudia Neuwahl defeats her friends and colleagues at RKS and informs them of Tia's disappearance and the threat of the Schwarzkreuz itself.

Trivia

 * The english translation for the name of the Schwarzkreuz is similar to that of the Black Cross Army, the first villains to appear in the Super Sentai franchise and the main villains of Himitsu Sentai Goranger.
 * The Schwarzkreuz is similar to the X-Hunters from Mega Man X2. They both spied on their respective hero through a viewing globe within their headquarters, and they were both thought to be the primary antagonists until an unexpected villain was revealed to be the true antagonist (Iris Sepperin and Eifer for the Schwarzkreuz and Sigma for the X-Hunters).
