Order Of Altotus

The Order of Altotus, which originated in 1932, is an exclusive organization whose membership is restricted to past Grand Master Alchemists. While not voting members of the Grand Chapter, the Order of Altotus serves as an advisory board to the Supreme Council. By custom, the most recent inductee into the Order is the chair of the body called the Grand Vizier. See below for a listing of the Living Members of the Order of Altotus.
