A.R.G.U.S.

Advanced Research Group United Support, initialized as A.R.G.U.S., is a research group running in the United States. They are on a major manhunt for Nyssa al Ghul. They're also the organization behind the formation of the Task Force X - felons working off their life sentences by running missions for A.R.G.U.S..

History
A.R.G.U.S was formed by a group of corrupt officials in the U.S. government to deal with major threats like the League of Assassins, H.I.V.E. or the Church of Blood, they also deal with highly dangerous criminals and recruit some of them for their Suicide Squad.

A.R.G.U.S has been using the same flanking patterns for years, so much so that Oliver was able to identify A.R.G.U.S agents simply by it from his past experience with them.

Oliver has occasionally interfered in A.R.G.U.S. business, due to his bad experience with the organization, as he does not trust their intentions.

Overview
Well A.R.G.U.S. was founded to protect the United States from dangerous threats; unfortunately, it became corrupted under the leadership of the immoral Amanda Waller, as the organization became no better than the very threats they are supposed to protect the U.S. from, committing unspeakable acts.

However, fortunately; following the death of Amanda, Lyla Michaels becomes the new director of A.R.G.U.S., reforming the organization, as everything they do is now based on morals, principles and the value of human life.
