Annihilatus

Annihilatus (殲滅白書 (Annihilatus) ) is the secret branch of the Russian Orthodox Church that deals with magic, specifically the disposal of spirits and such that shouldn't exist, a counterpart to the Anglican Church's Necessarius, who instead hunts witches.

To the Annihilatus, a wandering spirit should be eliminated, as it's "something that shouldn't exist" in this world. Annihilatus normally forcibly erases demons, ghosts and such rather than trying to 'send them off' to the next world in a peaceful manner. Furthermore, even if they carry weapons and interrogation tools, powerful against malign spirits, Annihilatus is not suited for work in interrogating and hunting down humans, if ever the situation calls for it.

The leadership of Annihilatus is separate from the Russian Orthodox Church, unlike the current Anglican Church, where its head, Laura Stuart, who is also governs Necessarius and therefore contributes to its role in its Church's structure. It's implied in Volumes 13.5 & 18 that Annihilatus is only a side group within the Russian Orthodox Church and does not have much influence over the Orthodox Church at all.
