Fiction
[edit]The Last Knight film
[edit]The roots of the Order of the Witwiccans can be traced back to 484 after the Guardian Knights had saved England from an invasion by the Saxons. Pledging their brotherhood to the human knights of Camelot, the two species agreed to work together to protect the innocent. When the "wizard" Merlin died however, the Knights entombed him within their ship and kept watch over him to protect his staff. The humans above decided that it was best to conceal any knowledge of the Transformers from the rest of their species. The organization would considerably grow in scope, recruiting many famous individuals throughout history, while also coming into contact with Sector Seven.
By the 2020s, however, all that remained of the Order was Sir Edmund Burton. After summoning Cade Yeager and Viviane Wembly to him, he explained his organization's history to them and how only they two could save Earth from being destroyed by Cybertron. Sir Edmund later went to speak with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and used the organization's influence to have the man rally the British Armed Forces to Stonehenge. When they arrived, Megatron's group managed to defeat the military with the warlord himself killing Sir Edmund. Before his death, however, Sir Edmund had inducted Seymour Simmons into the Order, ensuring its survival. The Last Knight
Notes
[edit]- The group's name nods to the widespread presence of the Witwicky family throughout the history of Transformers media, along with the [[wikipedia:{{#if:|:}}Wicca|{{#if:Wiccan|Wiccan|Wicca}}]] religion.
- Sir Edmund claiming that he is the last surviving member of the Order implies that not only has Sam Witwicky died offscreen, but also Stephen Hawking (who was alive at the time of the film's release).
- The Witwiccans' 1901 lineup was apparently made up of clones, as nearly everyone on the left side of Burton's photo is mirrored on the right side.
