The Sikarii

The Sikarii are the true killers of Delosian society. Paid to remove specific targets who threaten the interests of the nobility, they are not controlled by any one city state. They are rarely used to strike against other nobility unless treason is the cause for the contract. Instead they focus on external threats, merchants who threaten economic interests of Delosians, or warlords who boast of conquering the city states. The Sikarii are not a large organization known to number less than 100, but only their lord, Lokales, a high shifter from Diotes. The Sikarii, are not concerned with what city state a potential recruit comes from only that they are able to put aside past grudges with other cities. Recruits are only taken from those with blood of the were flowing through their veins. Unlike many groups of assassins, the Sikarii are not an evil organization and require a reason for the contract to be established. Due to the nature of most contracts, the Sikarii kill more people outside of the city states than within them.


I am still trying to figure out how best to represent the Sikarii in game. I think some kind of prestige class is needed but some of the entry requirements and class abilities for assassin and shadowdancer do not make sense for a state supported group of problem solvers in many ways like a modern Inteligence organization like the CIA or MI6.
