Team Darkstar
Team Darkstar was initially a vigilante group that fought against The New Militia and Calliope Ariandal in Croft. Created in Sam's universe on Earth Pr, the team expanded and contains members from different dimensions.
Following Mogul's defeat, Darkstar is now an elite specialist group, part of The Inquisition in Corinth, serving under Kyrael Prima.

Overview
As the Inquisition's ultimate elite specialist force, Darkstar is called to take on tasks that require immense power and strength. Composed of Corinth's strongest and smartest fighters, the members of Darkstar are considered the best of the best in the Inquisition.
Members
Team Darkstar is composed of members of differing origins. Each member that joins the team brings their own skills and talents to the table, and due to the small size of the group, the members are considered family.
Leaders
Jonathan "The Black Jason" Crypt
John "Jason" Crypt is one of the founders of Darkstar and is one of the leaders of the team. As a remnant to Decen, the Paladin of War, as well as the first soul-link host to Sentry, Jason is the most battle experienced member of the team. He is currently soul linked to The Underworld through Sentry's Katana, and serves as a field agent and mentor figure to several of Darkstar's members. He is in a relationship with Amana Cross.
Amana Serah "The Fox" Cross
Amana Cross is the other leader of the team. A half infernal and celestial human, Amana possesses incredible power rivalling Jason's. However, Amana prefers using intellect and wit to outsmart her enemies. Calculating and tactful, Amana's greatest asset is her intelligence. The strategist of the group, Amana managed to outsmart Redstone, a contracted and well famed tactician to the New Militia. Amana's warm and welcoming personality has provided Darkstar with an emotional backbone, allowing her to be an effective and natural leader to the team. She is in a relationship with John Crypt.
Co-Leaders
Darkstar's co-leaders are in charge of the team should the current leaders be away on mission. The co-leaders typically make decisions which go through the leaders for approval, however due to the closeness and trustworthiness of the team, approval is typically given right away.
Lawrence "Lazarus" Wright
Lazarus is one of the co-leaders to Darkstar, a long time friend of Jason, and was initially soul-linked to The Goatman, until giving it up to save Amana Cross. Lazarus focusing on healing and support rune magic, but is also capable of offensive and crowd control spells. Lazarus' rune magic is formidable, and extremely versatile due to his vast background, exploring outside of Croft, and battling various threats. Lazarus's dependable and kind personality inspires other members to act. He is in a relationship with Calliope Ariandal.
Calliope Ariandal
Calliope was free from the Corruption after Maven had drained the Pit of Corruption with the help of Trill, Amana, and Lazarus. Calliope's immense magical power with Seraphim allows her to provide a perfect combination of offence and defence, focusing on strengthening and protecting her allies with powerful celestial constructs. Calliope's magic complements Lazarus' rune magic greatly, making the pair a powerful force to be reckoned with. Calliope's experience with leadership allows her to gain the inspiration of the members of the Inquisition. Calliope, Lazarus, and Jason were long time friends from their time in Team Trinity, and once restored to her original self, she had proven herself to the team to rise to the rank of co-leader over the time gap.
Field Agents
Ferris "Overseer" Wheeler
Unofficial Members
Darkstar also houses certain people who stay, but are not officially a part of the team. These members are considered "temporary", or are partially affiliated.
Clyde: Clyde the "homeless rapper" is rescued by Lazarus during one of Multifaria's resistance missions. Lazarus protects Clyde from a Destroid, and Clyde has followed Lazarus ever since, much to the annoyance of Reya, Tob, and Dennis. Clyde offers to join Darkstar in exchange for providing some "fire bars". Lazarus lets Clyde stay with the group until he is able to afford a place to live himself. Clyde is often considered comic relief, and frequently offers Lazarus a smoke, after Lazarus reveals that he used to smoke and do drugs in a past life. Clyde eventually moves out of the hideout to a place of his own. However, Clyde still comes to visit Lazarus during their off-days.
Base of Operations
Darkstar initially operates from Wheeler's Gym. Under the guise of a regular gym, the hideout is located in a secret basement complex in the building. The hideout is only accessible through the staff room. The entire gym is reinforced and protected by Wheeler's Earth Magic, and security is maintained through Wheeler's Stone Golems and Seekers. The hideout's security is further amplified by Lazarus by placing a modified "Sigils of Radiant Sanctuary" spell within key structural components of the building, masking the hideout from vision-based infernals or operatives.
Members of Darkstar use this hideout as a residence, with multiple rooms for facilities, and a common room for which the members can socialize, sleep, and eat, and is where Wheeler watches over the gym and members during missions. A separate room is reserved for planning and strategy.
The gym was initially infested by soul beasts, hence business was at an all time low, until John cleaned the monsters up, improving operating conditions. Wheeler's gym has since gained more reputation and business.
After the events of Calliope's invasion on the slums, the gym has since been taken over by the New Militia. It is suspected that Darkstar's new hideout will be in Kyrael's Fortress.
Alliances
Darkstar has built up several alliances with other factions and groups, due to their adventures in other dimensions and neighbouring countries.
The Champions: During his time in Millennium City, Lazarus' heroic exploits become noticed by Defender and the Champions. Lazarus has since collaborated with the team in numerous missions. When Lazarus introduces Reya, Sapphire gladly trains her in controlling her powers.
Kyrael Prima of Corinth: Kyrael is an old friend to Decen, and by extension has a soft spot for his remnants. Kyrael and Jason have a strong friendship. Kyrael helps Sam control his Hunter's Eye, and offered to help Jason's team rescue Junon. Kyrael offers the Inquisition's services if Jason requires it.
The Steel Pack: Steel, a dragon slaying operative working under Kyrael in the Inquisition, develops a bond with Blackflame after a sparring session. The two frequently partied together and had drinks. Steel considers Sam a great and powerful ally, and welcomes a collaboration with his team to slay monsters.
Merrow Rivenlight: Merrow, Decen's Guardian, has taken a liking to Jason due to being Decen's Remnant, as well as Sam, being soul linked to Decen's Familiar. Later in the story, Merrow discovers that Sam is a reincarnation of Decen, and supports him in his battle against Calliope Ariandal. Merrow offers her services when the time comes for Jason and Sam to battle Calliope, as well as her master, Mogul.
