I have one in my new Carrion Crown AP.
Half-elf female even who is a follower of Shelyn.
We've done 4 sessions now and she has played the order pretty well.
Haughty, "But, what's in it for ME?" and otherwise self-indulgent.
She rubs the party wizard and cleric of Iomedae the wrong way, but the rogue adores her, and oddly enough, so do most of the NPCs. (although that may be because most of the people in that country are bitter arsehats anyway and she's a pretty half-elf with a big lance and mean horse)
I applaud the player for her attention to detail, I mean she ALWAYS either practicing taunts and swordplay, gazing at her own reflection and even went as far as to take her portion of a monetary reward for a side-quest I threw in to get them hooked on the AP to track down a carpenter in the village to construct her a portable vanity for her pavilion.
Should be an interesting character to watch develop.
Maybe the most interesting order of all. Sure i will chose it if i'll play a knight.

In our group, our Order of the Cockatrice Samarai is a real jerk. It's been coined in our group as "Order of the A-hole". Takes magic items without asking, purposefully tries to derail NPC influencing schemes.
It says a lot that in our group containing both a Ninja and a Samarai, the Ninja is more honorable and friendly one.
I do however, think that's more a result of our player. He's basically playing a rogue with Full Plate. And in his favor, he's toned it down since we admonished him OOCly. Character's still an A-hole though, just not a disruptive A-hole.
I am the one who plays one in our group....it is great fun....and the other players don't seem to mind. If you do arrogrant power hungry in a entertaining fashion it works great.
I also had a group of PCs run into one and well the all love to hate the guy. Which is what I was going for.
Sorry, don't have an opinion on this. I'm playing the Order of the Dragon BROmaster Race.

Seconds after we had defeated a bunch of filthy, penniless bandits, our Order of the Cockatrice knight fell to his hands and knees to loot their bodies of anything that could be traded for coin, even hopelessly failing a sleight of hand check so the rest of the party wouldn't notice his moneygrubbing.
It was desperately awful.

This was for the APG playtest, before they were "Order of the Cockatrice" and were still "Order of the Dragon", as I recall it. The Beloved Spouse (Kobold Chorus: "We love you!") still calls them Order of the Bastard, and I agree.
I rolled up one of each, a Human Witch, a Halfling Oracle, an Elven Summoner and an Elven Cavalier. And sent them to a dungeon crawl.
This went well, I guess, until we encountered a trap most foul involving time stop. The Witch died and the Oracle got frozen in time. The two Elves, being Elves and one of them being of THAT Order, abandoned their 'companions' after looting what they could from them and left.
It was AWESOME!!!!
