In the Order of the Serpent
Serpent Knights are individuals honored for their accomplishments in the Arts and Sciences. Specific awards are divided amongst the Order of the Owl (for construction and scientific ventures), Order of the Dragon (for purely artistic avenues), and Order of the Garber (for hopefully superior garb, though sometimes it is merely for quantities therein.) To be knighted as a peer of the Serpent one should have achieved a Masterhood in one of these categories.

The only person to be knighted for a Master Mask was Saint O'Banion, of the Wetlands.
