The Crozzo family is an old family serving the forces of humanity against the unending forces of the Honkai. Having roots in Ancient Shenzhou, the Crozzo family migrated to Europe during the Roman Empire, serving as the primary scout of each legion, even garnering enough power and influence to be exempted and highly prized by numerous leaders. 

It all changed when the organization known as Schicksal was formed. An organization opposed to the Forces of the Honkai and together with its generations-long allies, the Kaslana Family, The Crozzos, Shariacs, Kaslanas, and Apocalypses became its founding houses. 

The knights of house Kaslana, the shields of Humanity. They have produced the greatest warriors of Schicksal. 

The Priestesses of house Shariac, the Priestesses of Humanity. They have produced numerous people capable of calming the Honkai. 

The Overseers of Schicksal, the leaders of the organization. While not possessing any special abilities, they make it up with their planning and intellect to lead the entire organization. 

Lastly, the Rangers of Schicksal, members of house Crozzo. A special house that accepts anyone that catches their eye. They prefer to stick to the shadows, producing warriors of the same quality as house Kaslana, although, they are more efficient and effective.

House Crozzo's warriors are divided into two categories: 

The regular soldiers and warriors

The rangers, the best of the best. 

A ranger is worth an entire company while a veteran ranger is worth an entire army by themself.

Veteran Rangers are a different breed as they commonly work alone or in a small group and most Crozzos become Veteran Rangers quite easily, not due to Nepotism but because of the special ability of House Crozzo to access the memories and skills of former members of the Family. Sadly only natural-born Crozzos have this ability and by then it almost always appears once every generation. 

During the 15th century, a legendary Ranger of House Crozzo was born and active. This Ranger is the King of Winter, Reinhardt Crozzo. Following a scandal involving the church and Kallen Kaslana, Reinhardt disappeared with some saying he was killed by Kallen Kaslana. 

The disappearance of the king of winter made Otto Apocalypse disappear for several years. Due to grief, after all, Otto Apocalypse is a member of House Crozzo in all but blood. This event made the House disappear, even being regarded as Myths or legends depending on who you talk to. However, during the following years, Rangers of House Crozzo made appearances such as during the second world war and albeit in different organizations and aliases. 

During the 21st century, only a few natural-born Crozzos were left, scattered throughout the globe. One of them, Rexley 'Rex' Crozzo, is stationed in North America, somewhere in the Mojave, earning the nickname of the Heart of the Desert and Culexus. Reinhardt 'Rein' Crozzo is active in Asia, the youngest veteran Ranger in the century without unlocking his Crozzo bloodline ability with the nickname of Ebonheart, Vindicare, and Eversor for his sheer efficiency and effectivity, and the moniker Model of Apathy. Finally, the Veteran Ranger, thanks to the Crozzo Bloodline ability, Reverre 'Reve' Crozzo stationed in Europe with the title of Adamus and the Crimson Blade

While The Heart of the Desert works alone, he has close ties with his older brothers, Reinhardt and Reve. Mostly stationed in the Mojave and surrounding areas, Rex is officially known as the Desert Ranger.

Reinhardt works the least in the field compared to his brothers as he manages the Rangers of Schicksal. Despite this, he has taken in a student named Rin Yae from Japan after seeing her potential. Fun Fact: Reinhardt and his brothers has agreed that Rin has the qualities to be welcomed to House Crozzo. He often works with Kallen Kaslana, a childhood friend, and Sakura Yae, Kallen's partner and Rin's sister. He has a personal airship called 'The Fishsticks,' after a request from his then-younger brothers. He has good ties to House Apocalypse as he was often partnered with S-Rank Valkyrie, Elysia Apocalypse.

Reve, on the other hand, works primarily with several people such as Raven from Anti-Entropy, Schicksal's offspring organization, and Rita Rossweisse, Shicksal's S-rank Valkyrie. He often mediates between the two organizations. He is officially known as the Crimson Blade and the Sword Saint due to his mastery of swords. 

However, Fate reared its ugly head at the family as the order for Rex to go to Nagazora Japan arrived. So, the youngest Crozzo did and when he arrived, he had to fight his way in and out to extract his targets, Kiana Kaslana, Mei Raiden, and Bronya Zaychik. 

In a certain city, 

Fu Hua gained a tick mark as she held onto a basket of fruits with a strained smile aimed at a young man with dark hair. The young man had a scowl on his face as he held the basket.

 "I saw this first, flatty." The young man said as his grip tightened while Fu Hua's smile strained. 

"I touched it first, bastard," Fu Hua replied as sparks erupted and an image of a phoenix appeared behind her while a dragon appeared behind the young man. "I need this more, Ren." 

"I need this too, Hua," Ren replied as the intensity increased.
