A team of mystics, magicians, and scholars, the "Midnighters Club" first banded together in 1933 to defend Paragon City from evil occultists like the "Circle of Thorns". Unlike other hero organizations, the Midnighters typically operate in secrecy and shadow.
The group originally started as a sort of reading and study group for defense of paranormal investigators in the 1920's. Many of the original members had respectable jobs as professors, businessmen, museum curators, and scientists. They could not be seen publicly meeting and discussing controversial subjects like wormholes, magic, ghosts, and other worlds. So they met in secret, often late at night in the home of one of their many wealthy patrons and members. Their goal was to gather, and digest as much information as they could about the occult, science, magic, and nature. Cutting through all of the superstition and lies to reveal the inner truths of the magical world (if indeed there were any).

The academics in the group had never thought of themselves as heroes, but they were shocked and horrified at the descriptions of the foul Circle of Thorns. The group agreed to help, and many of them were actually quite excited at the prospect. One of the members came up with the name "Midnight Squad", inspired by their late night meetings.

Over the years the "Midnight Squad" has gone through hundreds of members, and many incarnations. Called "Midnighters" "Midnight Squad" Midnighters Club" & Midnighters Guild" Each depending on the number of Midnighters involved. For a time in the sixties and seventies its members actually wore tights and masks and fought like traditional super powered heroes, using magic instead of mutations.
Ever since the 1980's the group has become less and less public. In the world of magic it is a very risky thing to let your enemies know too many details about you. Far better to operate in the shadows and keep your presence hidden from prying eyes. By the early nineties the group had largely faded from public life, although it still remained quite active in the wars to come.

The "Midnighters guild" has played a vital role in many world wars. All 4 Tyrian world wars: "The Krytan war", "The Canthan war", "The Elonian war" and the "Destroyer war". 3 Paragon wars: The "Rikti war" The "Pretorian civil war" and the "Galaxy City war". Paragon however... was lost in the end. It is rumored the Midnighters still operate in Tyria, but to date, they are only rumors.

During the "Rikti War", the Midnighters Guild played a tremendously important role, but they also paid an awful price. The Rikti advanced technology was quite vulnerable to mystic assault, and the alien invaders soon realized this weakness. Soon after, the Midnighters vanished...








...but to this day,
there are still reports of "Midnighters".
