Ch51 Aurora Society

Aurora Society's phoenix symbol.

Aurora Society (アウローラ 学会, Aurōra gakkai) is a highly secretive organization, founded by Rian Stoker.[2] Their aim is to revive the dead.

Overview[]

Ch52 Aurora Society's meeting

Aurora Society's meeting.

Aurora Society is a private association of elite doctors from Karnstein Hospital, who frequently carry out illegal human tests in an attempt to revive the dead. Its declared objective is to save mankind by designing a medicine that can counteract the "worst" kind of health issue: death.[3] The society's motto is "absolute salvation of mankind through medicine."[1]

According to a nurse, the Aurora Society regularly holds confidential meetings and presentations for the results of their experiments and collects donations from nobles.[1]

Technology[]

Its technology is an artificial medicine, known as the "complete salvation," that revives the dead by implanting a special device into the dead's brain to generate a weak electric current in order for signals to be sent to the rest of the body.[4] However, when tested, the medicine backfires and resuscitates them into man-eating Bizarre Dolls instead.[5]

This technology is said to have been bought by a certain US company named "Osiris," which Ciel Phantomhive believes is a dummy company.[6]

Ch59 Aleister and the device

Aleister and the Device.

Device[]

As said by Rian Stoker, there exists a device that omits supersonic waves, rendering all patients subjected to the complete salvation inactive again.[7] The device is later stolen by Aleister Chamber, and when he attempts to activate it, the device does not work.[8]

Private Meetings[]

Ch52 Phoenix Pose

The Phoenix pose.

The signal to go to the meeting is when a waiter walks around the hall, carrying empty glasses. The attendees would take one and go to the meeting place.[9]

In order to enter, one must pay an extravagant price for a glass of water[10] and acknowledge the fixed greeting, "The complete flame in our chests shall not be extinguished by anyone. We are 'The Phoenix.'" (完全なる胸の炎は何者にも消せやしない。我ら「不死鳥フェニックス」, Kanzen'naru mune no honō wa nanimono ni mo keseyashinai. Ware ra 'Fenikkusu')[11] After saying so, one must pose as a phoenix. Once permitted, he or she, particularly first-timers, would receive a membership badge.[12]

History[]

The Aurora Society was founded by Rian Stoker, the director of Karnstein Hospital, with some of his fellow upper-rank doctor colleagues to find a way to revive the dead and "cure" humanity of death.[2] However, despite his best efforts, Rian was unable to revive the deceased with the medicine he possessed.[13]

Eventually, Rian met Undertaker who quickly became the true mastermind behind the resurrection experiments and is responsible for making the corpses move while Rian became completely reliant on Undertaker's powers.[14] Although Rian was not able to comprehend the general notions of the treatment Undertaker had concocted, he used it on his patients.[13]

Undertaker created the moving corpses, which he refers to as Bizarre Dolls, by tampering with their Cinematic Records.[15] He built the Device as a faux safeguard for Rian to keep up the illusion that he was reviving the corpses with technology.

In 1888, the Aurora Society was sought out by Edgar Redmond, Lawrence Bluewer, Gregory Violet, and Herman Greenhill to revive Johann Agares, Derrick Arden, and some other Weston College students who they had murdered.[16]

Luxury Liner Arc[]

On April 19, 1889, the Aurora Society holds a private meeting in the Campania's first-class smoking lounge.[10] As part of their investigation, Ciel Phantomhive and Sebastian Michaelis attend the meeting in disguises and are given membership badges.[17]

In the lounge, Ciel and Sebastian meet Undertaker and Aleister Chamber.[18] Together, they watch Rian's presentation and the resurrection of Margaret Connor which quickly turns into a bloodbath when Margaret suddenly goes berserk and starts to attack her mother[19] and other people.[20]

Fortunately, Margaret can be destroyed by Ronald Knox who came to find out whether he correctly collected her soul or not; he had.[21] However, Margaret was not the only Bizarre Doll the Aurora Society had taken onboard the Campania: Both the bottom[22] and the front freight storage room hold numerous Bizarre Dolls.[23]

Sebastian is able to kill the Bizarre Dolls stored in the bottom storage room,[24] but those in the front storage room manage to escape their coffins and attack the ship's passengers.[25] To stop the chaos, the Device from Rian's room is needed.[26] However, the Device is later revealed to be a hoax when Aleister turns it on and nothing happens,[27] and Undertaker admits to Rian that everything he told him about the revival project was a lie.[28]

Rian dies when the Campania sinks.[29] Because of his death, the revelation of the Aurora Society's true nature, and the dismantlement of Karnstein Hospital, the organization is seemingly abolished.[30]

Blue Revenge Arc[]

Months later, Ciel, with Sebastian's and Lau's help, learns that the Aurora Society still exists, and that Undertaker has been using it to found several locations as fronts to gather blood from patrons in order to sustain the life of his Bizarre Dolls.

The possible locations are: Heathfield Manor where former nurses from Karnstein Hospital are employed as maids, and although hundreds of other maids have been hired as well, they still advertise for maid jobs in newspapers. F.O.L. Orphanage in Norfolk which takes in underage orphans from all over England and receives large donations by Aurora Society members. Athena Sanatorium for Former Servicemen in Wiltshire where several Karnstein Hospital doctors work and a "Miracle Healer" who is capable of nursing all kinds of wounded soldiers back to health. A new resort hotel in Brighton whose hotel manager belongs to the Aurora Society and where the guests do not wish to leave.

Ciel, his household, Lau, and Ran-Mao split into pairs to investigate each location and find out whether they are truly connected to Undertaker's blood collection scheme: Mey-Rin and Ran-Mao will head to Heathfield Manor, Baldroy and Lau to Athena Sanatorium, Snake and Finnian to F.O.L. Orphanage, and Sebastian and Ciel to the hotel. If they find any evidence, they are ordered to annihilate the organization.[31]

After Mey-Rin discovers that many maids at Heathfield Manor are sedated and unknowingly used for blood collection,[32] she and Ran-Mao destroy the manor's secret basement and blood supplies and rescue the maids.[33]

At Athena Sanatorium, the chief nurse Ada admits the facility's connection to the Aurora Society to Baldroy;[34] because of the Society's ever-rising blood supply demands, she changes sides.[35] One of the nurses, Layla, however, turns out to be a Bizarre Doll[36] and nearly kills Baldroy,[37] but Ada manages to save him. With the sanatorium now having left the Aurora Society and being in danger of getting exterminated for their betrayal, Lau proposes to relocate Ada and the patients to Shanghai for protection if she will work for him; Ada gratefully accepts.[38]
