The Crystal Vipers
The Crystal Vipers
Type Crime syndicate Base Daggerwatch Led by Its don
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.
