Garden

Garden (ガーデン) is an assassin group that operates within Ostania.

Overview
As an unofficial paramilitary organization, they purge traitors of the country under orders from the shadow government. With the exception of Yor Forger's perspective, little is known about this organization, as their existence is unknown to all, with only a few in the State Security Service aware of them. Many stories of them are believed to be urban legends, and it is rumored that one of their soldiers are able to wipe out an entire military troop.

Most of what is currently known about Garden is through Yor, who has been a Garden assassin since she was young and goes by the codename "Thorn Princess." Assassin missions are typically handed out by the Shopkeeper, who seeks to "help make the world a beautiful place." When handing out missions, he will either do it through a phone call or personally at his garden (which itself is at an unknown location). These missions target people who are considered traitors to Ostania, referred to as "clients" or "customers." In preparation for an assassination, "the shop" analyzes their target's capabilities and defenses, leaving the assassin to simply get the job done. In rare cases, an assassin may be tasked with protecting their client, which was Yor's main task during the Cruise Adventure Arc. To not overlap with the assassin's double life, Garden provides them alibis and cover stories.

Assassins
The two notable assassins from Garden, Thorn Princess and Matthew McMahon, are shown to be on a higher level than assassins outside their organization, as Thorn Princess, with the support of McMahon, was able to wipe out over 20 enemy assassins in one night. Despite the difference in their individual power and skillsets, they both appear to share similar skills. Naturally, as assassins, they are expert killers. Both are skilled at hiding their presence, able to appear behind people without them noticing. They also have sharp accuracy, able to land precise blows regardless of the weapon they are armed with. They are also quite skilled at cleaning, which is usually done to clean up the bloody aftermath of an assassination to hide evidence, especially if it involves a large number of people.

Known Members
There are at least 3 other members beside Yor Forger that are pictured as part of Garden.
