If you are going to remove the head of the snake, you’ll need to get past his nest of vipers first|Informant warning about the Mepia Zanimel
History
The Mepia Zanimel, or Circle of Ghosts, were created after the fall of Bafon Jelric. While Jelric, also known as Bafon the Vile, had a close guard, they were more sycophants than assassins, and failed him when it came time to fight against the Royal Guard.
The next leader decided that he needed protection from a group of more skilled – and less fallible. The recruits were required to pledge ultimate fealty to the leader; if he should die, so would they. They would be the last line of defense, and would give their lives in protection. In return, they were given carte blanche. While other members of the syndicate were required to give a portion of any spoils to the organization, the Mepia Zanimel members were not. They would become wealthy and had full access to any and all assets of the organization. they would want for nothing.
Being the leader of a crime syndicate has its perils. Very few live to an old age, and many are attacked from within in ateempts to show dominance. On many occasions, the Mepia Zanimel has kept a leader alive through their actions, often in defense, but equally as often, by being proactive, and removing threats before plans can be brought to fruition.
The promise of full access to everything the syndicate controls did have a negative consequence, however. Such power corrpted these individuals further, and they are known for abusing their power. As long as it does not betray or endanger the leader, it is alllowed, and in some cases, encouraged.

The Mepia Zanimel (Circle of Ghosts), consists of ten highly-skilled and vicious assassins who have pledged to protect the current head of the Calaun Crime Syndicate. The members of this close-knit team are careful who they pledge to. The only ways the head of the syncicate can be removed are by natural death, resignation, or murder. If they are murdered, you can be sure that the next leader will have the entire Circle of Ghosts removed. Permanently.
