The Thornton Assassins

Montgomery's Nightmare

The Ungodly Ones

Thornton Stationery Company

Thornton Weaponry

## Creation

The original Thornton Assassins were members of the Thornton Stationery Company - Manchester Branch and hired by Jebidiah Thornton to bankrupt the then Cragglethorne Stationery and appeared as drug fuelled maniacs in the infamous Cragglethorne Stationery Coke Island Bust, however in their state they spent their time partying.

The original assassins were scrapped and replaced with the Thorntoniers who acted as Jebidiah's private police force. After more trial runs, the Thornton Assassins became established as Jebidiah's private assassin force (whilst the Thorntoniers didn't kill, the assassins could) to eliminate threats to him.

They first appeared in 1992 and were responsible for the deaths of many of Jebidiahs' rival company bosses like Reginald Stationery Inc. and Jerusalem Pens and Pencils.

Their infamous attire (White Mannequin costumes with black noses and black eyes with black paint dripping of their faces) was established in 2002 in order to help kill Nicholas Von Igoreviche.

## Jobs

The Thornton Assassins were first used to assassinate Ferdinand L. Reginald of Reginald Stationery Inc. in December 1993 where they shot Ferdinand with 3 colt revolvers and a musket.

At this time their were 17 Thornton Assassins. 4 of them (named Santiago, Eduardo, Sebastián and Nicolás) kidnapped Denzel Pepper in 1996 and tried to seduce him in Spanish, however, the operation failed due to Denzel's inability to speak the language.

They were used to kill Avraham Khan the owner of Jerusalem Pens and Pencils in May 2000.

In 2002 - 2019 a manhunt took place on Nicholas Von Igoreviche which spanned the whole of Europe where it ended in Moscow where Jebidiah shot him 5 times after a great battle had happened, by this time their were around 60 assassins in the organisation.

They were once again used in 2019 to assassinate Witold Letak. 2 of them were used to kill him and one missed due to unforeseen vomiting caused by food poisoning.

They attempted to take the lives of Darius Wiggleton and Jasper Scunthorpe (see. Assassin's on the Birmingham Express) along with the Thorntoniers but failed miserably.

## The Arctic Assassins

The Arctic Assassins were a specialized branch of the Thornton Assassins that were tasked with performing operations in the wild arctic. It is unknown when they were formed but it is agreed that it would of been some time after the June 2021 Thornton Revolution. They played an important role in Highland Skirmish and nearly captured Jasper Scunthorpe and his friends.

## Genetic Modification

The huge assassin described in Highland Skirmish was possibly the result of the Thornton Weaponry - Biological division that had been trying to grow the perfect assassin over the years. They experimented on a man, simply known as Big Ben, to see how they could do this. He trained for 9 months at Muscle Beach in California and was injected with an unknown amount of protein each day.

The Assassin's also had a genetically modified dolphin for a time, known as the Dolphin Man. The dolphin was strangely deformed and could withstand a punch from Jebidiah. The creature was put down after it had sexual intercourse with another dolphin.
