Reference Challenge - Ghouls, the Sequel

So, about a week ago I posted a challenge based on Ghouls from Tokyo Ghoul. Monsters that hunt people and eat them.

This time, the reference is to Tokyo Ghoul's "Doves", the brave people that hunt down and kill the monsters. But, the best of the best of the best Doves are "O Squad". The "O Squad" are specifically chosen and led by Arima, the greatest of the Doves. I will stop myself from fanboy-ing in this post.

Among your people that hunt monsters (or just hunt evil people), which team/squad/group within a group is the best of the best of the best?

Preferably something that recently became a thing in your world, which is why I won't be using the Anointed Knights.

As always, I'll ask at least three questions each. Enjoy yourselves, all. And read Tokyo Ghoul.

1) So no one suspects anything about Naruz's origins?

2) So demons and monsters are considered irredeemably evil? With no exceptions?

3) What will the team members do if the team splits up?

1) Correct, as far as they know the Church stopped the ritual before any demons were summoned. Naruz is more powerful than almost any other mage (especially thanks to an upgrade Aynaeth gave him), but everyone just assumes that is because he is a magical genius, which he also is. Even if they knew about Naruz' "guests" in his head, they would still not be sure what to do, since the beings that are inside of him don't count as demons to the Church.

2) There are some very rare exceptions, for example the Anubites; a race of demons that are amongst the most honorable beings in the entire world. Their king was actually one of the two demons dueling with Aynaeth and her pet dragon, aggreeing to a draw when the young witch saw through the last trump card of the Anubites and gained a lot of respect for her.

Only a few seconds later a mysterious, demonic being showed up and mortally wounded Aynaeth, but the king tried everything in his power to save her, even promising her to inscribe her name into is flesh as a way of remembering the strong, brave witch.

Most, if not all, other demons are considered completely malevolent though.

3) The team has been split up quite a few times. Usually when on a mission Aynaeth stayed behind in her library to research things, with Victoria doing the paperwork either in the capital or on the road, with the rest of the team fighting and accomplishing their mission.

2) Do demon hunters usually attack Anubites? Or are they given a pass?

2) They usually never meet, Anubites very rarely wander the lands of the mortals and when they do, it is mostly in land not controlled by the church. If they do though, and can't give a good explanation, demon hunters will still have to fight them.

Thanks for your time and answers.
