Agency Dossiers: The Guild

The Guild (only name it has been addressed) is a cabal originating from Japan. It has existed since the Edo period, consisting of assassins who have served the group for more than a thousand years.

 

About two hundred years before the rise of superhumans in the 23rd century, the decision by the cabal’s sole leader abolished the council table, seeking to rule as one, as well as to spread the Guild throughout the rest of Asia exclusively, which was a success.

 

40 years prior to the events of today, Igarashi, a high ranking member, was elected to take the Guild. Unbeknownst and unfortunately to most, he sought power greedily, trying to take over the Guild and reshape it in his own image, with the belief of a red katana, a legendary weapon that would unite the group as a whole. He enforced his rules that was akin to dictatorship, which gained him a lot of followers. He managed to recruit top lieutenants throughout his career, including Dusksmoke, whom he raised as a young protege.

 

But when the battle between Paladin and the Spectres broke out, the Guild got indirectly involved in the fight. Due to their independent status, Igarashi forbid contact with any agency, which could result in permanent exile as punishment. After creating a ploy to wipe out those who opposed him and his endless search for the red katana, those actions would lead to his downfall, and eventually gain the re-election of one of Igarashi’s former right hand men, Oddcrow.

 

As of concurrently, Oddcrow leads the Guild, also keeping allied ties with Paladin, much due to him and Dusksmoke’s relationship after his defection from the former. Despite this, the Guild still keeps a neutral stance and is rebuilding the lost guild. The red katana is kept in safe storage, protected by the likes of many.
