The Legion of Swordsmen was originally created in 1997 by Teo McDohl along with an old friend and ally.  The original concept was to protect those who could not otherwise help themselves.  Honor was the motto and the at the heart of every action.  The original LoS passed on like all great organizations do.  However, the LoS was reborn in 2002 when a close friend of Teo, Flik Silverberg, decided that the LoS was needed once again.  With the help of a third ally, Alucard Prodigus, The LoS was created. 

The LoS grew in popularity and membership, gaining members and notoriety as an organization of higher skill level.  The fact that the LoS did not accept everyone, and the LoS was picky about its members, was well-known.  The LoS kept its original passion to look out for what was right, regardless of the consequences.  From this, the core was founded: Honor, Wisdom, Compassion, and Bravery.
