There's basically an authoritarian/elite ruling class in the England in the game, and these 'rebels' have broken off from society and feel disenfranchised with the leadership, etc. Like I said, these guys, The 'Order' are pretty much like the Delta Force of the time, elite marshalls if you will.
Who knows, maybe they're tasked by to take them out by this leadership, or maybe they have a different reason.
Anybody getting a feeling that the story might take a similar path to Deus Ex? The way certain details have been presented, such as how the lower classes have been treated, seems to indicate that the elite are up to no good.
Speculation:
Perhaps the ruling class tries to get its hands on Black Water to abuse its powers?
