Gremlin (Norse)

GREMLIN is a magical organization that have begun to mobilize after the events of World War III. Leivinia Birdway refers to this group as either "they" or "them," and is the enemy who continues on WWIII from behind the scenes.

Meaning
A gremlin is a type of fairy that was believed to cause malfunctions in machinery and make weapons such as airplanes unusable. That was a new generation of the occult that had only started being passed down by humans once the concept of machines had been created. It was a symbol of one side of the world eating into the other side. In World War III, the Science side won and increased its power, the counterance of it was a type of the occult that would devour it when it had been born.

Background
It is unknown when exactly the organization was created, but mostly like when Academy City began proving it had various edges over magic. During the events of WWIII, the members were either watching or taking part in the battle to see if Academy City would survive it. Since the opposite occurred, GREMLIN begun its own declaration of war on the Science Side.

It has been stated that the magic practices of the group don't entirely belong to the magic side, but include some elements of the science side.

Goals

 * The complete destruction of Academy City and its espers.
 * Kamijou Touma: A message on the walls of Radiosonde Castle was left just for him, this can be interpreted that they knew the Castle wouldn't destroy city and that they are definitely targeting Touma.

Members

 * Mjölnir
