The Ace: Alastor Moody was widely known as one of the greatest wizards of modern times, both for his work as a member of the Order of the Phoenix and as an Auror for the British Ministry of Magic, as well as his extraordinary skill in many disciplines of magic.

Furthermore, his character gets deconstructed the same exact meta-way Nineties Anti Heroes tended to be in comic books: as the boundaries between a hero and a psycho become blurred around him, he ends up handily becoming nothing more than the disguise of a literal psycho. He's a hunter of evil men who is scarred, violent, paranoid and a bit too obssessed with his job, and is even a Cyborg to boot.

'90s Anti-Hero: Checks a surprising number of boxes.

He fights in several battles and kicks ass repeatedly. A member of the original Order of the Phoenix, he rejoins in Order of the Phoenix. An old ally of Dumbledore's, he is trusted to care for the students, despite his eccentricities from years of fighting and rampant paranoia. But first, which of you can tell me how many Unforgivable Curses there are?'ДЇirst introduced in Book Four, Alastor 'Mad-Eye' Moody is a retired Auror, with battle scars to prove it, who comes to teach at Hogwarts. End of story, goodbye, the end! Any questions? When it comes to the Dark Arts I believe in a practical approach. Ex-Auror, Ministry malcontent, and your new Defence Against the Dark Arts teacher.

Undying Loyalty: With the exception of Wormtail and the unreliable Mundungus Fletcher, everyone has this to each other, Dumbledore and Harry, regardless of any temporary tensions between them.

True Companions: With a few treacherous exceptions, the core members of both Orders clearly care for each other.

Things they aren't privy to include Snape's true allegiance, the full contents of the Prophecy, Voldemort's Horcruxes and Harry's mission.

And they occasionally complain about this as well. Not-So-Omniscient Council of Bickering: Despite having a name that sounds like an ancient secret society and Harry and the Trio thinking that the Order knows all the secrets, it's clear that they are kept in the dark by Dumbledore just as much as everyone else.

That said, Olympe Maxime, headmistress of Beauxbatons, did conduct a mission for them and is stated to be an ally of Dumbledore. Multinational Team: The Order tries to cultivate this but they don't quite succeed in winning over moderate werewolves and giants or swaying Goblins into their ranks, as both Remus and Hagrid admit.Likewise, Dumbledore is way better at hiding secrets and protecting communications than Voldemort. Dumbledore delegates responsibility to different members assigned to tackle the ministry, the school, protection and espionage in simultaneous operations. For one thing they still function and operate even when their leader is taken out, and even after the Ministry and Hogwarts falls.

Mildly Military: They would have greatly benefited from reading the 'If I am ever the Hero' list, though they come off as being far more professional than the Death Eaters.

Though it turned out to have been a gambit by Snape, who is himself The Mole.

There was a brief concern about the presence of another mole in the early part of the seventh book.

Dumbledore was implied to have suspected Sirius.

Towards the end of the First War, they are infiltrated by a spy who Sirius noted had been passing information to Voldemort for a year.

Hero of Another Story: Harry doesn't get to see them do very much, but that's because he's largely at school, or off camping in the final book.

Fred Weasley, who is not a member of the Order but certainly one of its partisans, was also killed in action. In the case of the Second War, casualties include Sirius Black, Emmeline Vance, Albus Dumbledore, Alastor Moody, Remus Lupin, Nymphadora Tonks and Severus Snape. Alastor Moody ticking off the names of the dead heroes of the First War when he shows Harry the picture, as well as the often brutal manner of their deaths, plays almost like Black Comedy.

Characters Dropping Like Flies: They have a reputation in-universe for what Slughorn notes is a high body count.

This was a spell invented by Dumbledore himself and is absolutely impervious to any attempts to break communications by both Death Eaters and Ministry.

Animal Motifs: All the members use the Patronus to communicate.
