Description
Mission leaders of The Crimson Hand, a widespread thieves organization who steal tax money to distribute among the common folk. Dressed in layered dyed black leathers and tattered cloaks, they dress to fit into the crowd. Each is adorned with finger-less leather gloves with dark crimson palms.
All members are trained in non-fatal maneuvers, but will use lethal force when pressed or necessary. Instead of fighting to kill they often attempt to gain the upper hand and use their deft hands to manacle and poison to imobilize their foes.
