Red Gloved Men

When it comes to matters of assassination very few groups are as trusted or as reliable as the Red Gloved Men whether it be a noble a bit too high on himself or an uppity peasant whose been a bit too resistant to the local lord the Red Gloved Men will deliver what is promised assuming you have the coin.

Structure

All orders from the Master Hand are absolute but tentatively they receive orders from leadership positions usually from one of the guild heads or receive direct contracts.

Culture

They are the killers and assassins of The Black Hand. Murder, coercion, torture, and thuggery compile the skills of these members and they are highly refined at their skills and typically enjoy their jobs.
As a ritualistic part of membership you are either branded or tattooed with the imprint of a bloody palm usually on an inconspicuous place of their choosing

Public Agenda

The law, civilized society, and especially rival guilds hate members of the Red Gloved Men for their violence and callous disregard for life.

History

The Red Gloved Men are actually a fairly recent edition to The Black Hand when the Master Hand dictated the need a for the split of the two groups around 300 years ago. The division came when it was apparent that requiring members to do the skill sets of both divisions was having a negative impact on member retention and cooperation. Since the split the health of the guild has improved and the Red Gloved Men have proven to be useful and grown more powerful since they were allowed to focus on one particular set of skill as opposed to numerous sets of skills and jobs.
