--spoilers ahead

The following statements are personal findings about Manga, Anime, etc. If you think something here is not quite right, let me know.

The Manga
In the Manga, Schwarz first appearance is connected with Takatori. They seem to be just a group of bodyguards taking care of their client's interests, and end up being surprised by the appearance of Weiß.
Even their involvement in Ran's life - with the destruction of the Fujimiya building - is totally connected with their job as Takatori's employees.
They seem to be just some kind of counterpart for Weiß's actions.

The Anime
Here, things change a bit. Schwarz takes a different turn: they are more then just Takatori's bodyguards. In fact, this job seems to be totally secondary - in such way, that they even end up letting Weiß terminate Takatori. Schwarz then shows up connected with to Esze organization. It appears that this is the organization behind the formation of Schwarz themselves. But still, they participate in that same organization's destruction, apparently to liberate themselves from Esze.

The Drama CDs
The action starts in Munich outskirts. Schwarz's base.
Sally, that some believe to be a witch, escaped from Rosenkrüs. Schwarz gets involved when Farfarello saves Sally. And the group that's chasing the runaway seems to be more powerful then Schwarz...
Unfortunately, I only know one of the CDs - the first one - and through a written translation on the net. But, not much of Schwarz's past is unveiled. What I do know, is that both Crawford and Schuldig had an "intimate" relationship with this same women - named Silvia - and we find out about her personal findings about each of the men's... horizontal (or vertical, or what ever) performances. Even Farfarello finds this strange love interest for that girl, Sally.
