The Knights of Purity are a mutant-fighting organization set up as a private security company specialized in fighting superpowered criminals. They work mostly by selling their services to local governments, in order to secure the necessary authorizations, although they derive some funds from toy licensing as well. They have a good track record at capturing non-mutant supercriminals alive, but somehow most mutants they confront are killed "resisting arrest." They are headed by Herbert Goodkind, brother of the Goodkind Group CEO Bruce Goodkind and uncle to Ayla Goodkind.
