The City watch of Doskvol. Known as the meanest gang in the city, Corrupt, Violent, and Cruel.
Operating out of the entire city, many of the districts are parceled out to local companies that run them as their own fiefdoms. Much to their annoyance The Bluecoats find their influence greatly reduced as the Imperial Military garrison holds sway under the command of the Lord Governor. The men and women on the street are little more than vicious thugs in uniform. They patrol the city in armoured coaches adn canal patrol boats. there are a number of strong houses they control as well as public punishment sites such as Pillories, stocks and hanging cages.
The Bluecoats are able to call upon many allies across the city. from
The City Council, and the guards at
Ironhook Prison to the criminals of
The Crows and
The Billhooks. In whispered tones they may also turn to some of the more secretive organisations across the city calling upon the expertiese of
Lord Scurlock and
The Unseen. They use these connections to maintain their positions of power and control over the city, making them enemies of many of the criminal organisations that seek to operate as they wish.
Ironically they have also made themselves an enemy of the
Imperial Military. Jealous of their elite hardware and vehicles they want to refit their watch guards with heavy armour and weapons, to better strike fear into those they prey upon.
The organisation is Led by
Commander Clelland, with his chief instructor
Captain Michter and quartermaster
Captain Vale. Each district is known to have fierce rivalries with its neghbours, stoked by their superiors in an attempt to garner better results this is often good-natured but sometimes violent.
