The Scarlet Heart

The Scarlet Heart is one of the two organizations within House Evkein, a faction built upon one goal - rid the continent, Chymoús, of the dangers that lurk in each of the kingdoms/countries living there. House Evkein works as both assassins and spies, hence the two factions. With the its spy network (The White Crown) focusing on gathering as much intel on dangerous weapons, people, and other illegal works behind the scenes, the Scarlet Heart is set up of assassins that can either work as one unit or individually, depending on the situation at hand. Below is a breakdown of how the organization works...
Using justice and law as motivation, the influence of the Scarlet Heart is extremely strong, striking fear into the hearts of those who have heard of them. Though this also gives them a somewhat poor reputation in the eyes of nobility and other high-ranking beings, who tend to be their targets.

Structure

---

The founding the House Evkein began in 1652 EoL with both the Scarlet Heart and White Crown forming nearly a decade later due to overworking every member of the organization. The faction is a large group that is run by one person, a vampire with no ties to the Itude Empire. Out of everyone working for the faction, they have never seen their leader, yet they know his name. The guild leader is Dakath Zylvalu. Rumors have spread about what kind of guy he is, leaving many to wonder just how vile he can be when he sets his mind to his mission.
Founder Dakath made sure that the Scarlet Heart is preserved though a formal ranking system:

History

Cahuln 16, 1807 EoL - The Assassination of Pliad

Pliad was assassinated after his attempt to seize control of the four other wolf packs in the Moonlight Expanse so that he may wipe out the Itude Empire under one swoop instead of waiting for each of the other alphas to work together as one unit to destroy the empire.
To those in the Moonlight Expanse, his death at the hands of the Scarlet Heart soured their view. They deemed Pliad a respectable wolf and what the assassins did as unjust. Ever since then, the packs have vowed to finish off any Scarlet Heart member they come across.

Icogh 23, 1923 EoL - The Assassination of Knemm

Knemm was a marquis who had his hands dirty with torturing his subjects as though they were Exotic Pets. The Itude Empire ruled his death a tragedy sice he was one of the few members of the empire who could kill more than 15 werewolves in one go without recieving too much damage. His assassination left a bitter aftertaste in nearly all of the upper class of the empire and the empire dubbed the Scarlet Heart a poisonous guild.

Biwid 2, 1996 EoL - The Assassination of Blitig

Blitig was a general for the Flight Academy. After his assassination, it came to a conclusion between the Moonlight Expanse and Itude Empire (one of the few things they have ever agreed upon) that the Scarlet Heart would be deemed an atrocity that should be wiped out.
