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.
Some cinders prefer to maximize their survivability and take up heavier armor and shields. While non-stereotypical and certainly worse for stealth, these shielded combatants are often sent with groups as additional muscle when there is no need for subtlety.
