Myth Enders

The Athena Group, in their obsession with creating new power, have created a new weapon called Myth Enders. These are the result of Lirit Bassilins experiments with arcane runes by making surgical scars into peoples flesh. These arcane runes seem to improve the natural abilities of the subject, like their Dexterity, Strength and Constitution. They also give them certain other magical abilities like Darkvision, immunity to charms and others. This however comes at the cost of being an extremely straining procedure, with evidently a lot of the subjects dieing and/or losing their sanity in the process. These Myth Enders are all seemingly armed with Weapons of Certain Death, a sword and a bow and possibly smoke bombs. They utilise stealth and quick guerilla attacks against their enemies, using a network of teleportation runes to get anywhere they need to quickly. No one knows where they are in the meantime.
The party first ran into a Myth Ender group, when breaking into the Athena Temple in Artemis Coves Zeus District. The Myth Enders promptly dealt with the players. Only failing to catch Khantos as he fled (in session 7 - A Sudden Departure). This began the parties dealings with the Athena Group and multiple instances of the Myth Enders facing the party in defence of the Athena Groups multiple facilities.
The newest breed of Myth Enders, wearing black funery masks instead of the usual white. The newest experiments consist of two strangers and the old party member Carban Fistskin. They ambushed the players on their way to Dexicos during the night. Reminding the party though they have left Artemis Cove the Athena Groups reach is extensive.
=== Appearance ===
The Myth enders are usually clad in leather armor with a sword at their hip. Over this they wear a blue cloak and to cover their faces a white funery mask. This covers their mutilated faces as their mouths are sown shut and the markings engraved into them can't be revealed along with their identities requirng being kept secret.
The Black Mask appearances are slightly different. Carban has only a small mask over the top half of his face and seemingly does not wear the blue cloak only a blue sash around his waist, putting the scarred runes on full display. Changing his sword for a larger greatsword.
The Black Mask archer, also has a slightly different appearance, with large antlers that protrude from the hood, and a much more fine bow design also opting to be armed with twin shortswords.
The last of the Black masks a monk. Is similar to most Myth Enders but has no metal on his person. and has the sleeves removed from his clothing showing the runes carved into his arms that cover almost all of the available skin. He also is often seen producing tinysparks of blue electricity from off of his body.
