Ghosts of the Prison

The Ghosts of the Prison (牢の中の幽霊 Rō no Naka no Yūrei) was an organisation comprised of prisoners (primarily condemned criminals and those in similar situations) without any known relatives or families.
==Information==
The organisation became known as Ghosts of the Prison because of widespread rumours associated with their members. Before the Censorate became aware of the organisation's existence, there were many sightings in Kiyou of condemned criminals that should have died in prison (officially deceased on paper). Members would tie cloths around their foreheads to conceal it, but imprinted on some of their foreheads is the mark of condemned criminals. As payment for escaping execution, they were tasked with carrying out assassinations.

===Shun===
Shun (隼 Shun) was top Assassin and the Leader of the Ghosts of the Prison. Kou Shuurei later deduced that he was the one quietly removing prisoners over the years and turning them into assassins. However, he was doing it under someone else's orders.
===Mou===
Mou (孟 Mō) was deeply intertwined in the plot concerning the Ghosts of the Prison. He ordered the assassins to murder high-ranking officials in the Provinces. He also plotted to kill Ran Jyuusan so that his daughter could enter the Imperial Harem but the assassins failed. Fearing that his crimes would be found out if the Censorate started investigating, he ordered a fake assassination on himself to alleviate any suspicion placed on him. Shuurei realised that, despite his deep involvement in the organisation's activities, someone else must have been behind everything since Mou was assassinated to ensure his silence. Additionally, he was recruiting high-ranking Military Officers that fell from rank and turning them into his own private team of assassins.
