One of the many secret brotherhoods in [[Ankh-Morpork]], led by the Supreme Grand Master. The Brethren summoned a [[Draco nobilis|dragon]] into Ankh-Morpork to overthrow the [[Patrician]] and restore the [[monarchy]] - they had picked their own monarch, of course.

A circle of honest seekers after mystic truth whose misfortune it was to let [[Lupine Wonse]] run the group. A Supreme Grand Master with an agenda of his own is always going to be bad news in a secret society.

Had the full-time professionals in the Orders of Wizardry divined their existence, the reaction is likely to have been the same good-natured derision in which the professionals in any trade hold their under-resourced and time-poor part time cousins - ie, the way regular soldiers view Territorials, or full-time policemen look down on Special Constables. However, as the [[Librarian]] is one of the [[Specials]] in the [[Ankh-Morpork City Watch]], the derogatory term "hobby bobby" must belong to the same lexicon as the [[Monkey|m-word]], and is not spoken by wise Watchmen. Even the brothers initially had their doubts (I don't mess the ineffable wossnames and they don't do any plastering...).

[[Brother Fingers]], however, gave [[Unseen University]] a reason to adopt an attitude other than amused condescension, when he stole a potent [[grimoire]] from the [[Library]] (indirectly the reason why the Librarian signed on as a Special).

Were the days of the Brethren not already numbered by Wonse's ulterior motives re. [[The Summoning of Dragons]], it is clear that the University, in the form of the Librarian, would have taken formal or informal action of a conclusive kind once the book-theft was traced... not to mention any sanction the [[Thieves' Guild]] might have applied, for (a) unlicensed theft; or (b), if it considered any official complaint from the Wizards (or indeed, any pointed comment from the [[Patrician]]) should be passed on to the culprit with added emphasis, and possibly the stapling together of both knees.

The way this plan went wrong is described in {{G!G!}}.

The Supreme Grand Master was in fact Lord [[Havelock Vetinari|Vetinari's]] secretary, [[Lupine Wonse]]; Brother Fingers was identified later as Bengy "Lightfoot" [[Boggis]]. The names of the other members are unknown; their secret names were:

* Brother Doorkeeper
* [[Brother Dunnikin]]
* [[Brother Fingers]]
* Brother Plasterer
* Brother Watchtower

The group's name appears to be a reference to the real-world magical society, {{wp|http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hermetic_Order_of_the_Golden_Dawn|Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn}}.
