Hermetic Order of Swift Light

The Hermetic Order of Swift Light (aka Helios Overnight Services, HOS) are a camp of Corax.

Overview

First Edition

This is a corporation of Corax who are in the information brokerage business. "Any secret under the sun" is their motto, and clients include mages, vampires and Garou. Though it is a large business (staffed by Kinfolk), only one Corax is ever involved in operations at a given time. Leadership of the corporation is treated as a trade good. A Corax will bargain with others to gain (or get rid of) the responsibility. They are also known as an excellent messenger service.

Second Edition

This is the business arm of the Breed: basically, a bunch of guys who do their Gaia's-gossip thing for the right price. It's HQed out of Manhattan, with posh offices on Madison Avenue at a yearly rent that will make you puke. By tradition, there's only one actually raven in the joint, though the rest of us can make some dough by hiring out as freelance couriers and the like. Word is that the Corax who runs the place has been doing some reorganization; for one thing, the IPO went gangbusters. Word in the grapevine is that soon there'll be a bit more of a permanent structure, not to mention some electronic backup for the gossip net. It's gonna be interesting seeing how it all shakes down.
