The Enforcements were a faction of Forever Knight fans who appreciate the Enforcers, a canonical vampire goon squad whose mission is to preserve the Code that humans must never learn of the existence of vampires.

The faction was established around May 1999, with a mailing list and a website. It was quite active that summer, and took part in one of the Forever Knight Wars, War Ten. The faction was active for another couple of years on their Yahoo!Group, and then gradually faded away.

Members of the Enforcements were given military ranks, a description of which is given on the "Ranks" page of their website. The "Members" page lists the faction members' ranks as well as their names.

Activities

The Enforcements expanded considerably on the activities of the Enforcers from their one canonical appearance in the episode "Unreality TV". In their fan fiction, they created a world-wide organization that they dubbed the "Enforcer Guild", and included a number of Enforcer characters that were fanonical within the faction.

Several fictional places were created by the Enforcements in their fiction and war posts, including the Esmeralda, a vampire club in New York City; and the Blackwood Arms Hotel, a fictional chain of Enforcer-owned hotels with branches in every major city in the world. The faction headquarters in Toronto during War 10 was in the Canada Trust Tower (a real office building) on the B1 and B2 floors. Their website included schematics of each floor.[1]

Faction Symbol

The Enforcements created their own faction symbol. This is dominated by a large multi-coloured flame, at whose centre is a naturalistically drawn heart that is pierced vertically by a sword and diagonally by crossed stakes, with the letter E superimposed.

Faction Icon

In 2012, Greer Watson created an icon for the Enforcements as part of her project to create a set of icons for all the Forever Knight factions. The icon design consists simply of the faction symbol plus the name of the affiliation.
