Appearance[]
The Coven Scout uniform of the Emperor's Coven consists of a dark gray, long-sleeved jerkin with a brown belt around it at the waist, accompanied by black harem pants and pointed brown boots, as well as gloves of the same color. On their heads, members wear a white cowl with a pointed hood which shadows their lower face. The scouts' upper faces are obscured by light gray bird-esque masks with large round eyeholes, which protrude outward in the center into a beak-like point. The scouts' body builds and physical features often vary, as they consist of witches and demons of varying body types. Traits such as horns remain visible from under their hoods, and tails may be visible through the uniform.
Coven Scouts may be armed with many kinds of weapons, but are mostly seen with spears.
Background[]
Like Coven Guards, Coven Scouts can often be seen in various government-operated facilities, such as the Conformatorium, various Police Precincts as guards (such as Police Precinct 128), or as law enforcement officers. However, unlike their Guard peers, Coven Scouts can also be seen outside of cities and often participate in missions assigned by their superiors, such as raids or recruitments.
Lilith led team of Coven Scouts to the Owl House to captured Eda, only to be defeated by Hooty. The Coven Scouts are later seen in the Throne Room along with Hunter when Lilith reports her failure to captured Eda. One of them gives Belos a Palisman to absorb for his condition. A group of them is present when the students of Hexside are giving a tour in the castle. Some of the scouts are present for Eda's Petrification ceremony while one scout was later tooking down by Luz and King on a mission to save Eda. Some of them later threw King and Lilith in with Eda to Petrify too.
A team of them attempt to capture Eda, Lilith, King, and Luz but escape. Some of the Scouts are later seen helping rebuild the Portal after Luz destroy it. Two accompanied Hunter to Blight Industries to purchase their Abomaton 2.0s. The scouts witness the arrival of the Coven Heads who were shown a fake vision of the Day of Unity that shows the merger of both the Human Realm and the Demon Realm. A team of lead by Kikimora came upon the wreckage of Hunter's ship who they died in a crash, Unaware to them, Kikimora sent her pet dragon to attack Hunter's ship so she can bring the Palisman to Belos and win his favor.
Hunter to a group of them and ask them to take him to their radio so he can called for a team to pick him up. The scouts didn't believed he was the Golden Guard since he didn't have his cloak, mask or his even staff and believe his Coven sigil was fake.
As part of preparation for the Day of Unity, Coven Scouts raided the Owl House and confiscated everything inside; some items were later stolen back by Luz and Eda. At the same time, a team of Coven Scouts accompanied Adrian Graye Vernworth to Brand every student at Hexside School of Magic and Demonics but Gus Porter exposed the trick and were sent to captured Gus. During the search, a pair encounter Hunter and inform him that Belos was looking for him but Hunter and Gus escaped from them. After capturing Gus, a team of them battle Principal Bump, Hunter, and some of the students but were easily defeated. The team then left Hexside with the catatonic Graye, Severine however quit and went back to the Tiny Cat Coven.
Before the Day of Unity began, some of the Coven Scouts were rounding up Abomatons from Blight Industries and bringing to the site. Some of them were beating drums and gathering citizens for the Day of Unity. However, a group of them were still looking for Eda until they captured her along with Luz who were fighting. They were giving orders to bring Eda for petrify again and Luz to Belos. Unaware, the two were rescue by the Covens Against the Throne.
As the Day of Unity began, some of the Coven Scouts and Abomatons were rounding up wild Witches and setting them to the Conformatorium. Some were guarding Blight Manor by were taking underground by Willow until they round the Hexsquad at Blight Industries. Later, Odalia inform some Coven Scout who were air patrolling that an airship was stolen. They attack the Hexsquad by shooting them at them though some were defeated, they managed to shoot the Hexsquad's ship down. When the Draining Spell began taking effect during the Day of Unity, some of the Coven Scouts try to flee the area after realizing its true effect, only to be blocked by Abomatons.
They are last seen being drained until The Collector stops the spell. During the Collector's reign, most of the Coven Scouts were captured and turn into puppets. Though some had took shelter in the Emperor's Castle and vandalized the place before being turn into puppets.
Sometime during the Collector's reign, a group of Coven Scouts were seen camping in some ruins. After Belos was finally defeated, the remaining scouts decided to help rebuild the Isles.
