The Crystal Vipers

The Crystal Vipers are counted among the greatest crime syndicates of Daggerwatch. They are ruled by a don who hands down his decisions from an underground den he calls his “court,” and who keeps his grip through fear and spectacle: those who cross the Vipers - or who shelter their enemies - are made brutal examples of, for, as the syndicate’s saying goes, “to hide someone from the viper means getting bitten.”

The don who led the Vipers in recent years was a cruel master even to his own blood, subjecting his heir to a gauntlet of “tests” from earliest childhood and executing bystanders to punish the boy’s attempts to flee. That heir at last escaped the city for good - though the world would come to know him not as a Viper, but by another name.
