“The only thing I expect from Paradox is style over substance.
The Paradox Organisation is a guild of thieves who want to show the world that there's nothing they can't steal.
Summary
The Paradox Organisation, also known as Paradox for short, is a group of bored rich thieves who steal various objects of interest.[1] Whatever Paradox steals is presented at the Paradox Museum, a pop-up gallery open to the public with the intention of showing the world that Paradox can steal from anyone.[2]
The Paradox Organisation does not exclusively steal artifacts: they also steal state secrets and blackmail on celebrities.[2]
Paradox (the playable character) is one member of the Paradox Organisation. Each member of Paradox wears a mask and a coat,[3][4] and gives up their name to join the organisation.[5]
The members of Paradox work mostly independently, gathering together a few times a year to discuss their thefts.[6][1] The thefts of each Paradox member is based on individual interest and challenge.[7]
Thefts
The Paradox Organisation has had several artifacts on its radar. Some thefts have been successful, some have yet to be committed, and some have failed.
- Paradox has successfully stolen The Ghent Altarpiece, the Tome of Anubis, some form of blackmail on Fairfax,[8] a hellenistic Bust of Homer,[9] one of Johann Geist's paintings,[10][11] Booth's Deringer,[12] and the location of
Seven's safehouse.[13] - The Paradox Organisation has shown interest in robbing
Kelvin's home during the ritual. Paradox, the playable hero, has shown personal interest in 
Abrams' tome,[14] 
Holliday's revolver,[15] 
McGinnis' research and secrets she holds for Fairfax,[16][17] Nashala,[18] rare books 
Paige may have,[19] 
Pocket's suitcase,[20] and 
Yamato's sword.[21] - The Paradox Organisation has tried, and failed, to break into the Baxter Society's Manor House, although they haven't given up trying.[22] They have also been unsuccessful at breaking into the Baroness Hotel.[23]
