Aogiri Tree

Aogiri Tree (アオギリの樹, Aogiri no Ki, lit. Chinese Parasol Tree) is a terrorist organization of ghouls that actively combat the CCG, inflicting heavy losses onto them. In recent years, the organization has grown in power, becoming a large threat to the CCG and developing a notorious reputation among ghouls, and is currently one of the CCG's most pressing priorities.

Organization
The organization has its roots in the 24th Ward and was founded by Eto after she and her small band of ghouls were defeated by CCG 13 years ago. Because of that, Aogiri has some structural similarities with the first organization as stated by several CCG investigators. Aogiri is stated to be commanded by the mysterious One-Eyed King, a figure surrounded by rumor and unseen by all but its direct subordinates. Many believe that the One-Eyed Owl is the King, but Eto herself has stated that is not the case. Despite being the organization's founder, Eto often acts behind the scenes and is shrouded in mystery to most, even amongst some of her own members. Tatara, a direct subordinate of the King, serves as the operational leader of the organization, meeting with members and giving out orders to subordinates. Noro was another direct subordinate of the King, but was usually only deployed on battle situations where he can quickly take out multiple enemies.

Beneath Tatara are several Executives, powerful ghouls that serve as Captains for the organization and lead their own forces. They are responsible for much of the daily managing of the organization, such as gathering food and overseeing missions. Each Executive has their own direct subordinates, some of which form into distinct gangs of their own such as the White Suits. Lower ranked members dress in matching robes and masks, and carry out minor tasks such as information gathering, scout and guard duty, or even kitchen duty.

Aogiri actively seeks out new members with each territory they control. During the occupation of the 11th Ward, numerous weak ghouls were conscripted into the organization and used for menial slave labor, and in the break-in at Cochlea, Aogiri recruited several A- to SS-rated ghouls, notable among them Shachi. Since the fall of Anteiku, Aogiri has expanded its influence and forced ghouls living within human society to work for them. These ghouls are responsible for gathering information, or carrying out other minor tasks that their human identities make them uniquely suited towards. Should these ghouls be discovered, Aogiri may recruit them fully into their ranks as new soldiers.

Locations
The Aogiri Tree has multiple locations under their control, though the exact specifics such as the scale are currently unknown.

11th Ward
There used to be a prominent Aogiri hideout in the 11th Ward, under the supervision of Tatara and several executives such as Ayato, Yamori, and the Bin Brothers. The hideout was destroyed after the CCG carried out their Aogiri Raid Operation, having been accidentally leaked by Yamori through Hideyoshi's hobby of playing detective.

18th Ward
The Aogiri executive Miza is the current leader of the 18th Ward, thus is technically under the Aogiri Tree's jurisdiction as well. There seems to be a decent amount of Aogiri activities occuring in the area.

Rushima
Aogiri has estabilished a base of operations on Rushima, an uninhabited island in Tokyo Bay formerly used as a military base during World War II.

Ambitions & Ideologies
The Aogiri Tree is united under the ideology of ghoul supremacy as promoted by the One-Eyed King. Aogiri seeks to make ghouls the dominant species and plans to overthrow humanity and ascend to power. Rize Kamishiro has been hunted down and tracked by many Aogiri Executives and members as they seem to want her for an unknown purpose. It was stated by Nico that Aogiri, in the words of Tatara, wanted to obtain Rize and Dr. Kanou was "to flush out a liar."

Aogiri's goals seem to align with Dr. Kanou's, as he himself stated, and that cooperation is mutually beneficial to them. Eto adopts his "birdcage" parallel, and states Aogiri's purpose is to destroy this "birdcage" and restore balance to the world. The organization has provided him with advanced facilities and the subjects to continue his research into creating artificial one-eyed ghouls.

Strength
As an organization of ghouls, Aogiri Tree is considerably powerful. CCG has stated that Aogiri is one of the greatest ghoul threats to have surfaced in recent years. In terms of manpower, Eto mentioned that their organization has several thousand ghouls in their ranks, the majority of low-ranked members are B-rated or below. The upper chain of command consists of many ghouls rated S or higher like Miza, Ayato, Tatara, Takizawa and Naki with his white suits, a further testament to the organization's strength.

After the Tsukiyama Extermination Operation, intensive crackdown on their operations by the CCG has significantly weakened Aogiri. But they still remain one of the most powerful ghoul organisation opposing to the CCG.
