Introduction

Pandora (パンドラ, Pandora) is an organization from Jun Mochizuki's Pandora Hearts. While it is publicly known to be a state-controlled agency for maintaining public order, its true purpose is the research and handling of any and all events relating to the Abyss. It is lead and controlled by the Four Great Dukedoms, the Vessalius Dukedom, the Nightray Dukedom, the Rainsworth Dukedom, and the Barma Dukedom. One hundred years ago the Tragedy of Sablier occurred, wherein Glen Baskerville and his followers murdered all humans in the former capital and the city was dropped into the Abyss. Jack Vessalius, the hero who defeated the Baskervilles and prevented further destruction, had founded the Four Great Dukedoms and Pandora in the aftermath of that disaster. Pandora's ultimate goals are to ascertain the full truth of the Tragedy of Sablier and obtain the Intention of the Abyss.

After escaping from the Abyss together, Oz Vessalius and Alice are made to join Pandora under the threat of arrest. Soon after, Oz by way of an ancient prophecy is revealed to be Jack's reincarnation, his body housing the ancestral founder's soul. Through Oz, Jack passes on a message to Pandora: the Baskervilles and their master Glen will return to once again enact the Tragedy upon the world. Thus Pandora is given yet another goal—find and defeat the reincarnation of Glen Baskerville before he can tear the world apart.

Jack Vessalius is the true culprit behind the Tragedy of Sablier, and he placed the blame on the Baskervilles for his own sinister goals.

Over one hundred years ago, Jack became obsessed with a Baskerville girl named Lacie. As she was a Child of Ill Omen, she was executed by her elder brother Oswald, the next in line to inherit the name of Glen. In his grief, Jack plotted to cast the entire world into the Abyss. Over the course of a few months, Jack would form several alliances, manipulating Oswald, Lacie's daughters Alice and the Intention of the Abyss, and Baskerville brothers Gilbert and Vincent to reach his goal. At the peak of his plan, Jack Illegally Contracted the Chain Oz the B-Rabbit and destroyed the "Chains" distinguishing the material world and the Abyss. However Jack ultimately failed when Oswald used his power as Glen to limit the scope of the destruction before Jack killed him. Jack's attempts to gain more power to resume the destruction only resulted in Alice's suicide and the Intention's memories being destroyed. Sablier was cast into the Abyss, and the event became known as the Tragedy of Sablier, of which Jack was the sole human survivor.

After surviving, Jack extensively falsified the circumstances of the Tragedy to cast the Baskervilles as the villains who caused it and himself as the hero who vanquished them. He stole from them the Doors to the Abyss and using such power, established the Pandora and the government which would oversee it, the Four Great Dukedoms. Along with his own family, the Four Great Dukedoms were chosen carefully by Jack's design. The Nightrays, to keep a close eye on and limit the power of his enemy household; the Barmas, for the way siblings Miranda and Arthur helped him immensely in masterminding the Tragedy and the aftermath; and the Rainsworths, for their royal lineage and to assuage the state's apprehension of giving so much power to a few families.

Due to his actions in causing the Tragedy, Jack was expelled from the Hundred Cycles and not allowed a true death by the Abyss. He was instead cursed to age circuitously, backwards from his age at "death" into an infant, then back again indefinitely. After one hundred years of this cycle, the last remnants of his soul would soon be burnt out, and so upon discovering this Jack set about his next steps carefully. He once again manipulated all at his disposal—his fellow Dukedoms, his supposed "friends," his own descendants, those he'd already harmed, and more. All for his carefully designed plot to repress the Baskervilles from fighting back, and gain as much power for himself, in service of his one ultimate goal. To reenact the Tragedy, and this time, properly and successfully cast the entire world into the Abyss.
