Adherents of Clan Tarentum's Necromantic powers who specialize in combat and direct application of Necromancy through the onset of disease or other immediate debilitations.

Introduction

Unlike their brethren the Watchers, Death Dealers devote their time not towards study, but instead combat. Where the Watchers seek to advance their powers through research, and in turn advance the goals of the Keepers, the Death Dealers are the militant arm of the elusive Keepers. It is the direct application of Necromancy - through fear, disease, debilitation and death - that are the goals of the Death Dealers.

The Death Dealers are marshaled by the mysterious Ghost Lady and Lord Khyven, and trained by Tarentum's own Field Marshal, Maxamillian von Oberst-Tarentae.

Harbingers of Doom

There is no one defining ethos for the Death Dealers. Instead, individual Dealers adapt themselves to roles they and their superiors believe they are best suited for. So while two members may be Death Dealers, they are by no means similar in training, outlook or role. All Death Dealers identify themselves with a tattoo corresponding to their role and function.

Dagger

The sect's assassins. These Dealers maximize stealth and subterfuge. The most feared of the Death Dealer sect because they are the most secretive and elusive. While they are fully capable of digging a knife under the arm and into the heart, or delivering the killing blow with a sniper's rifle, they are just as versed in the studied application of poisons and even the subtle influence of the Necromantic arts. A healthy individual suddenly struck down with a rare and debilitation disease, after all, can send a clear message to the true target. The Ghost Lady takes personal charge of this sub-sect of the Death Dealers.

Scimitar

The Clan's executioners. These individuals use brute force and terror to get their point across. Where one of the Clan's assassin's will allow you a quick death of sorts, these sadistic individuals ply their craft slowly. Oberst is, quite possibly, the most best example of his Clan's executioners. Capable of dragging an execution on for days, much less hours, victims degenerate into babbling masses of blood, flesh and tears. Rather than use Necromancy to speed the death of their victims, they sustain the poor soul's life. It is only at the discretion of the Keepers, the Prince or the Sith King that one will be turned over to Death's mercy.

Mace

The true martial arm of the Death Dealers, these individuals are soldiers guided by Death. As one advances, pain slowly becomes a non-issue. Death is no longer the end. They, like Lord Khyven, serve the Clan in perpetuity.
