Department Four

Department Four, as the name suggests, was the fourth Department created during the restructuring of The Lamplighters in the aftermath of the Third War. Around the time of the Great Catacylsm, Department Four betrayed Control and their fellow Agents and attempted to overthrow the Director and have their leader, The Curator, supplant them. Following their failed attempt which became known as The Schism, Department Four Agents assassinated the remaining members of The First Circle and went underground. Resurfacing once more during the Burning Legion's Third Invasion of Azeroth, they attempted to enact The Curator's vision of overtaking the Legion and using it in Azeroth's defence. Despite their initial victories against The Lamplighters, they were eventually defeated with The Curator killed and most of the Department Four Agents captured or imprisoned. Less than a handful escaped custody and were eventually tracked and captured, while the others were made full-time Lamplighter Agents, placed into custody or given the much needed care that The Curator had denied them.
