The only thing I expect from Paradox is style over substance.

The Paradox Organisation is a guild of thieves who want to show the world that there’s nothing they can’t steal.

Summary

The Paradox Organisation, also known as Paradox for short, is a group of bored rich thieves who steal various objects of interest.[1] Whatever Paradox steals is presented at the Paradox Museum, a pop-up gallery open to the public with the intention of showing the world that Paradox can steal from anyone.[2]

The Paradox Organisation does not exclusively steal artifacts: they also steal state secrets and blackmail on celebrities.[2]

Paradox (the playable character) is one member of the Paradox Organisation. Each member of Paradox wears a mask and a coat,[3][4] and gives up their name to join the organisation.[5]

The members of Paradox work mostly independently, gathering together a few times a year to discuss their thefts.[6][1] The thefts of each Paradox member is "based on individual interest and challenge".[7]

The origins of the Paradox Organisation are unknown. Their oldest known theft seems to be one of Johann Geist’s paintings, which happened 50 years before the events of the game.[8][9]

Thefts

The Paradox Organisation has had several artifacts on its radar. Some thefts have been successful, some have yet to be committed, and some have failed.
