Ghostbloods

The Ghostbloods are a guild of specialised assassins for hire.

## History

The guild was created on March 14 2018, and was the third guild created in the Alleyverse. It is currently run by Rhaizen Montegue (Mraize).[1]

Although their assassinations are conducted in secret, reviews from early customers were overwhelmingly positive. User ElephantEarwax rated the service a five out of five, stating that they "would use again". User ITIAH gave it a fourty-four out of fifty, stating that they were "pretty sneaky", "quick" and that their "method [...] was pure genius". They did note that they did not provide a contingency plan, but still said that the performance was "very nice".[1]

On April 26, 2018, Mraize claimed that they had officially disbanded the Ghostbloods, allegedly because they did not want the group to be assimilated into either side of the brewing Guild War. They encouraged the displaced members to join either the DA or TUBA.[2]

A faction of the Ghostbloods splintered off of the original group and formed a new guild, originally known as the New Ghostbloods, but also being referred to as the Rogues. Blazenella, who formed the new group, stated that "the fact that [the Ghostbloods] are disbanding to be absorbed into the titans about to clash is ridiculous," and that they would "operate as [they] have, but without restriction."[3]

However, on April 27, Kidpen revealed evidence that the disbanding was instead a ploy to plant Rogue Ghostbloods into the guilds, in order so that they could assassinate key members of both the DA and TUBA, and raise suspicion between the two groups in order to bring about war. This also revealed that the Liebrarians (the guild which Kidpen was a member of) had a mole within the Ghostbloods. While at first multiple members of both the Rogues and the 'disbanded' Ghostbloods denied these claims, and continued to act in RP threads (like Calm Before the Storm) as if the Ghostbloods had split into separate groups, it was implied to be true multiple times by different Ghostblood sources.[4] The mole was revealed to be MacThorstenson, and he was put on trial for violating his position of Unbiased One.[5]

The Rogues continued to recruit as a separate entity for some time.[6] As a result of these accusations, Kidpen challenged Blazenella to a duel as a way of settling the issue.[7]

Suspicion over the issue continued until Mraize publicly confirmed the claims on July 10 in the Divided We Fall thread.[citation needed - I'll find this later. -Meta]

## Common Practices

The Ghostbloods are highly hierarchical, and members are forbidden from attacking or killing other members. Members are required to sever their allegiances with other guilds in order to join.

They are also highly secretive, so little of their history and involvement in disputes is known. Battles and assassinations are conducted in secret.

## Relationships with Other Guilds

As stated in Mraize's original March 14 post, the Ghostbloods are a largely neutral group, although they are closest to the Canton of Combat given their similar nature.[1] They have been actively trying to get spies into TUBA.

## Involvement in Guild Warfare

The Ghostbloods are largely unaffiliated with any particular guild and prefer to stay out of en masse conflict, instead conducting their assassinations, disputes and information gathering behind closed doors.[1] They fought in the Seven Day War on the side of TUBA, and against the DA and the Black Crusade.
