Black Watch

Black Watch, also called Siad qal'Thay (Thuar) or Xlotli'huec (Tahua), were an elite unit of Thay's magic users. They were well-trained powerful mage-hunters. All members were trained in spellcasting and countermagic, and were trained to be adept when fighting against magi.
By use of a Tabu'u spell, the Black Watch oversight could be alerted to anyone trying to spill the secrets of Thay's location, existence, or sensitive dealings. They were also dispatched to hunt down fugitives from Thay, such as thieves or traitorous exiles.
All Black Watch members underwent rigorous training, part of which involved being tattoos on one forearm with the Sigil of the Jaguar, a sigil that protected them from external scrying and mind reading, and allowed them to attune themselves to planar magic. This sigil was usually unremovable, but faded with age.
Solodar Tailor was a member of Black Watch, but after one secret failure and another more catastrophic one (that led to theFireball Nullification and Great Resurrection Event), he cut off the arm with the tattoo on it, and fled. He was wanted by the Black Watch ever since.
