According to the early records of the Office of Supernatural Defense. The organization was brought up by an "Angel" which was latter named as the "First General". The First General had originally given a tasked to guard and close the Gates of Hell that was open in that time. Because of the things that caught up with the First General, he had been given a new tasked to let humans kept guard the Gates. In order to suffice the given task, he adopted three children while adventuring thoughout the world. He taught what things he needed to teach them and left them afterwards.
The three children, now three young men continued the tasked that was left to them. The succession of the people who will continue the tasked remain unbroken. They witness the two Covenants to start. They also converse with the prophets until the last one. They had witness the very sacrifice and the salvation of mankind. They knew that the real war between humanity and evil was just getting started.
Upon the freedom of practice of Christianity, the urge to be in communion with the Catholic Church secretly because the world wasn't ready for them to be known. They certainly emerge after a century or two to observe afterward they dissapear again. Throughout the two millennia, they still remain unchange and unmoving.
Based on the records over 200 years ago, when the humanity was started to fall upon the power of the Supernaturals, they were the first one to declare a war and could fight equally. A war against the Supernatural, a war not to let humanity to be opperessed. In the letters of the 762th General of Defense and Strategic Action, General Seals, it was suppose a defeat not a triumph. They lose because they can't fight for what was the right thing to do during that years.
