The Order also developed Soul Dive, an experimental system used to dive into souls for direct exorcism. They also use Angel Capture Fields, specialized barriers that can repel demons, their powers, and other astral based substances, and are set up by creating a rectangular array of cross-shaped stakes in the ground and activating them. Besides using guns, there are members of Order with special powers as well, using devices like tomes, violins, or dolls. Tetragrammaton, a gun with high power against demons with low backlash, is given to Rosette and later used by Chrono. The bullet Spirit was also developed, but upon test-fire it was found to be too dangerous, using a repressed lower-class demon for its explosive power. The Order's preferred handgun is the Colt 1911, often loaded with Sacred, standard bullets containing holy water, and Gospel, bullets with alchemized silver. They use various weapons, mainly guns, swords, and melee weapons, many of which are developed by the New York branch's own Edward "Elder" Hamilton. The Order has many members however, in times of great crisis, other less generally accepted individuals may be introduced into the Order to help fight the forces of darkness. The New York branch of the Order is headed by Kate Valentine, assisted by Ewan Remington, who lead the fight against the forces of darkness. The Order has many branches around the country (some that are mentioned/visited include the Chicago, San Francisco, and Seattle branches) each one is presided over by the Council of the Catholic Church. The Order of Magdalene is an organization of the Catholic Church that banishes devils and demons. Much of the story is driven by the individual pasts of the main characters and the complex relationships between them. The characterization of some the characters, including Rosette and Aion, and their roles in the story were changed drastically in the adaptation of the manga. The anime follows the manga through the events of Volume IV, but it diverges during a crucial plot event, creating different courses of events and endings. He seeks nothing less than to overthrow the delicate balance between Heaven, Earth, and Hell (in the manga it is the demons hierarch he wished to destroy). Both Rosette and Chrono are revealed during the course of the story to be driven by a shadowy past, centered around a search for Rosette's lost brother Joshua who is shown to have been taken from her by the sinner, Aion, a demon who shares a dark and bloody history with Chrono. In the world of Chrono Crusade, a fictional organization known as the Order of Magdalene (or more specifically, the characters of Sister Rosette Christopher and her soul-bound demon partner, Chrono) exists to fight the demonic threats that appear with increasing regularity across America. It is at such times of great change and upheaval that the dark things that lurk below the world of man can come to the surface. It is a time of prosperity, luxury and decadence, and the division between rich and poor grows even wider in the wake of the First World War. Chrono Crusade is set in the height of the Roaring Twenties, where jazz is king, bootleg liquor flows freely, and the mob rules the streets.
