Mercykillers

Ask a mercykiller why he's joined a faction that's also called the Red Death and a berk'll get one answer: Justice is everything. It's absolute and perfect, but it's got to be correctly applied if it's to mean anything. The Mercykillers set out to do just that, reasoning that if someone (meaning them) does it right,-then the multiverse will be cleansed of evil and thus be made perfect - the true culmination of this faction's work.

Public Agenda

THE EIGHT TENETS OF JUSTICE 1 will uphold Justice before all else, purging the multiverse of those who break the law. 2. In all situations I shall weigh the rights and wrongs with a clear and impartial mind. 3. I shall decide where Justice must fall under the law, and I will mete out that Justice with a firm and unyielding hand. 4. 1 believe in the righteousness of my faction: we alone answer to the higher law of Justice. 5. I will not pass judgment on good or evil, only on law-abiding and law-breaking, for therein lies wrongdoing. 6. I will punish the guilty as the crime demands. 7. I will be diligent in my pursuit of the guilty, and while so engaged I will remain innocent of any wrongdoing in the eyes of others. 8. I will never release a lawbreaker until his sentence has been carried out.

History

The Mercykillers are a bit on the newer side, as far as factions go. During the Great Upheaval, when the Lady of Pain passed down her mandate culling the number of factions, a lot of groups faced disbanding. Two groups, the Sons of Mercy and the Sodkillers, joined forces. The Sons of Mercy were a band of lawful good bloods who kneaded the laws of Sigil like dough, finding loopholes for criminals who were wrongfully accused or faced outlandish punishments. The Sodkillers, on the other hand, were strictly lawful evil. Little more than hired muscle, they offered to avenge perceived "wrongs" for the right amount of jink. Neither faction was very large, and it was unlikely that either would survive the Lady's edict. So the two factols met secretly and hashed out a charter that merged their factions, combining elements of their respective beliefs. The charter as written up some 600 years ago - known as the Eight Tenets of Justice - is still in effect today for the Mercykillers
