are usually members of the mysterious and deadly guild known as The Whisper. They are employed by individuals and organizations across Terra. Most are wildly expensive. However, some work on behalf of the weak and defenseless (though these are few and far between).
Since there were societies, monarchies, and other guilds, there was The Whisper. Usually the organization is run by the most skilled and deadly. S/he doles out the assignments according to skill and need. There are chapters for the organization all over Terra. Each is run by the most talented in the area. All bend the knee to the “grandfather”. Only a handful of leaders know where to find the grandfather at any given time.
Certain members of various monarchies have tried to eliminate this group throughout the centuries. All have found themselves in the royal crypt at the end of their endeavor. Most understand that The Whisper is a necessary evil and turn a blind eye, so long as their favored and closest people are not affected.
Their greatest enemies are the clergy of Lucian, god of law. The conflict between these two organizations have been going on since time immemorial. Neither side seems able to gain ground on the others.
The Whisper has already been used in the series and will be again.
