Description
The organized crime of Mariel is run through the Blackstone Cinders, a large organization of disparate groups based in the cities of the region that run most of the criminal operations within the metropolises of the region. Where they control the dense underbellies of the cities, they lose most of their superiority and control in the many towns and villages.
Most official members of the cinders are no pushovers, even the grunts who make up the rank-and-file criminals are expected to be somewhat competent in order to join the thieves' guild. They are often folded into groups run by various captains and used as guards for smuggling operations or messy killers, and in cases where a grunt shows talent, sent off on solo missions.
Many take up small arms for close-quarters combat such as daggers and shortswords, and in tight situations they may use their bag of ash, usually meant to mark places of interest, to blind opponents.
