The Lazarans

The Lazarans are an ancient and secretive organization of beings who seek true eternal life. They are known to go to far often to try to achieve their goals and are known for messing up often and causing unexpected and sometimes even catastrophic events to occur as they quest for life everlasting.

Goal
The Lazarans' goal is to find a cure for death, or a way to live forever. Most often this comes from a basic fear of death and the uncertainty of what comes after. Their motives for this range from things such as simply their fear of death, to pride, to powerlust, and even others just out of curiosity.

Hierarchy
The Lazarans have a hierarchy ranking system entirely based off how long one has extended their life. They are broken up into four five main categories;

Lessers
Lessers are the lowest ranked members, members who have either have very little extended lifespan or simply aspirations to do so. They are mainly foot soldiers and lackeys.

Fadeless
The Fadeless are those who have at least doubled their life, they are used as commanders and leaders among the group.

The Ancient Wizards
The Ancient Wizards are those who have not only far extended their life span but have immense abilities in the Suuntar, and Elemental majik fields, as well as possibly other derivatives of the Elements of Reality. They are incredibly intelegent and cunning usually but are also seen as horribly corrupt, often going though anything or anyone to achieve their immortality. These are the beings who are so close they only need to complete but one seemingly impossible task to achieve immortality, often themselves having a flawed immortality or some way to stay alive unless something goes wrong in their system. Those in this group often replace their name with that of an Abrahamic angel over time as to try to revoke their mortal existance. Some notable Ancient Wizards are:
 * Cassiel
 * Israfel
 * Uriel
 * Ramiel
 * Ariel

The Great Old Ones
The Great Old Ones are those who are closest to immortality, possessing some kind of partial immortality. Usually this consists of an infinite life span but the ability to still be killed by other means. Very few of these have existed and usually at a terrible price. This group holds the true leaders of The Lazarans and very few have ever made it this close to their goal. Any at this level usually trade in their angel name for a name of their choosing, or the name of a Great Old One from lovecraftian lore, though it is usually just used as a title. Three have held this title:
 * Dav-vril Mat"a-dur
 * John 11:4
 * Jonas Embercroft

Timeless
There has never been one of the rank of Timeless, however t is reserved for anyone who would achieve the ultimate goal of true immortality and become the Lazarans' God.
