Garden

The Garden Assassins Syndicate (暗殺組織 「ガーデン」), simply known as Garden (ガーデン), is an assassin group that operates within Ostania.

Overview
As an unofficial paramilitary organization, Garden purges traitors of the country under orders from the shadow government. 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. Garden has supposedly been in Ostania for a long time, and many stories of them are believed to be urban legends. It is even 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 the perspective of Yor Forger, who appears to have been in the organization since she was young and goes by the code name "Thorn Princess." Assassin missions are handed out by the Shopkeeper, who seeks to "help make the world a beautiful place." When handing out missions, he typically does it through a phone call, whether it be at the assassin's home or at their cover workplace. Another method is by personally assigning them at his garden (which itself is at an unknown location). These missions target people who are considered traitors to Ostania, who are 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 with alibis and cover stories.

Assassins
The two notable assassins from Garden (and the only ones that have currently been shown thus far), 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 power and abilities, 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 have sharp accuracy and senses, able to land precise blows regardless of the weapon they are armed with and dodge surprise attacks. 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 disposing a large number of bodies.

Known Members
There are at least 3 other members beside Yor Forger that are pictured as part of Garden. The anime shows 5 additional members in the silhouetted group.

Trivia

 * Garden is rumored to be behind the assassination of one of Franky Franklin's associates. Although some of the rumors he spreads about them are exaggerated.
 * In the manga, on the grip panel of Matthew McMahon's silencer is a logo with garden shears. This could possibly be the logo for Garden.
 * While the anime introduced 5 more Garden members, what appeared to be Yor's silhouette is noticeably absent.
