The Headsman’s Guild

Organization Bio

Name: The Headsman’s Guild Stated Purpose: An organization that exists for the purposes of unity and brotherhood of people from all walks of life. The doors to the Guild Halls are never closed and Guild Halls exist on almost every level of Doramraz. Come; belong to a family that actually cares.

Real Purpose:

The Guild was established by Jeremiah Mraz, the founder of Doramraz, as a way to keep the people- who were not lucky enough to be in his family –united and have a way for them to care for each other. The inner circle of the Guild- a group known as the Skull Men –were established by Mraz in secret to act as a check against his own family in the future, and against all other organizations. The Skull Men are pervasive, they are small by other organization standards, but they encompass all walks of life. Rumors say that at least one Skull Man is present in each organization in the city. Skull Men generally have a tattoo of a skull somewhere on their body. Their purpose is elegantly simple; preserve the status quo. They ensure that no organization, including the government, becomes too powerful. For the good of the city as a whole, they keep the city as it is. That is… if they actually exist.

Leader: Basil Mark-Anthony (see also: The Mark-Anthony Family) is the leader of the Headsman’s Guild, known as the Headsman, as well as the inner circle of the guild, The Skull Men. He is a pit miner foreman, a very burly man with a worn and scarred body. He has short black hair, and hazel eyes. He is not someone you want to get on the bad side of- he exudes dominance. He is probably the only individual in the city that could walk any of the streets, at any of the levels, and not worry about anything bad happening to him. There is a general sense of respect for the man from everyone, including his rivals and enemies. He is forty five.

History: See “Real Purpose” for basics. The only other note of interest is that the Skull Men and the Mraz Family Mafia have a long standing bid for the control of the city, this struggle has included many assassination attempts, manipulations and betrayals.

Primary Level of Operation: The Guild, and the Skull Men, exist at all levels of city life.
