Order of Hermes
The Order of Hermes are the closest you will get to the stereotypical Wizard in Mage: The Ascension. And for good reason, since they literally shaped the western idea of Magic, with all the trappings of such (including the pedantry, arrogance, and haughtiness). They're infamously disciplinarian and rigid in structure, with several "Houses" fighting for control. They, unsurprisingly, tend to fuck up quite a bit. This includes when what would become the Tremere Vampires split off from them, and how they essentially forced the Technocracy into existence by being top dog for so long.
