Sleepy Hollow Criminal Triumvirate

"Steven is like Julius Ceasar, Hector is like Pompey the Great, and Francis is like Marcus Crassus... If your father is Ceasar, Selina, I think I'll be first Bruno and then Octavius, going to a road to create my Roman Empire... by outliving them all."

- Phyllis Peach The Sleepy Hollow Criminal Triumvirate (or short for the Triumvirate) is an un-official name for the three major criminal figures in the Order of Flourish before the first Feast of Apollo. The first incarnation of the Triumivirate serves as the previous incarnation of the Traitors of the Order, led by the second incarnation of the Triumvirate.

The Triumvirate serve as the secondary antagonistic faction and yet also the Heavy in the upcoming LOTM: Witnesses of Sleepy Hollow Spin-Off - Order of Strawberry - Part 1, with Phyllis Peach as the spinoff's Big Bad. Their logo is based on the Sarandon Family's coat of arm, and Sarandon Family is one of the oldest and most important families in Sleepy Hollow and being the Minister of Strawberry.

The first Triumvirate's crime was exposed to public via the actions of Dragonia Dragonfruit, who was also one of the victims of Sarandon Family and Selina's childhood friend. After this expose of her family's dark past where she not even awared of, Selina tried hard to help Sleepy Hollow's citizens with her talents and eventually mended those wrongdoings of her father. However, unbeknowest to her, Sarandon Family's old crimes were all related to Phyllis Peach, who made instructions to the Sarandons to corrupt Sleepy Hollow from inside.

Members
The original Triumvirate members were gather by Phyllis Peach and did everything under her command in secret. Their actions later influenced many villains appearing in the Order, pretty much due to their severity. The alias of "Criminal Triumvirate" is given by many people who knew their true nature, while they themselves believed all they did was good for the town and they were heroes in the story.

The Triumvirate is composed by:


 * Don Francis Fleur (the founder of the infamous Niveus Pharmaceuticals, the most influential mob leader in Sleepy Hollow, the former master of Orlando Orange before the latter's rise to power, and the murderer of Baccarat Blueberry's father)
 * Former Mayor Hector Hickory (who murdered Selina Strawberry's parents and Lillian Lime's uncle)
 * And their central figure: Professor Steven Strawberry (Selina Strawberry's own father, who drove Lillian Lime's sister to insanity, being the person behind Walter Watermelon's rise to power in Tarrytown).

They are all involved with the research of the Croatoan Virus under Lord Helio's plain sight, but they attempted to use the virus as a tool to rule the entire world. However, the were all used by Phyllis Peach inside her game to raise chaos so that she can gain the Stone of Wisdom, despite all the risks she was about to take willingly. They also deeply despise each other despite working together.

The Murder in Sarandon Manor
The original Triumvirate deeply influenced the life of Selina Strawberry, as both of her parents were murdered by Hector, who was in odds with Steven's way. Hector forced Selina's elder sister Silva (who was disgusted by her parents' corruption) to tell them about the secret tunnel into the Sarandon Manor. Lady Sarah Sarandon was about to tell Lord Helio about her husband's crime, but was killed alongside her husband at the hand of Hector's assassin. Sarah sent the young Selina away to the orphanage.

In order to make Selina run for her life without return, Sarah said to Selina that she "never [need] her" against her own will, forcing Selina to escape before the assassins arrived and murdered Mr. and Mrs. Sarandon. The event later caused mental trouble inside Selina to the point of driving her into a split personality disorder, as she started to become bitter and wrathful, despite she tried to become graceful and nice.

Selina was later took back to the Order of Flourish by Lord Helio, while Silva was alledgedly murdered by Hector and was never heard of again. Selina never mourned her mother since she believed she abandoned her, while she hight respected her father and mother as well. It took her another three years to seek out the truth and accepted her family's corruption with the help of Hestia Hawthorn.
