Assassins (antagonists)

In the Literary Mosaic Story Universe, the assassins are the highly skilled killers in London, who kill for money and leave almost no trace behind.

To date, Elvira Revinev has been the most prolific of the London assassins.

BUISNESS MODEL

Assassins never deal directly with "clients." There are three main roles in the business:

Contractors deal with the clients; those who want someone killed go to contractors with a name, background informs, and a reward for the death of a target.

Assassins are the killers who do the actual Dirty work; taking contracts and getting paid.

Bosses manage the assassins, and ensure the money is well hidden once it is paid out.

During World War II, they were quite active. But after the war, many of those in the business retired or died. By 1947 the only remaining people in the busines were:

Contractors:

. Raleigh

. Hughes

. Quincy; who had retired early in the year

Bosses:

. Bennett, who managed Ironside, and later on, Shakes and Lion

. Carnegie, who managed Rawhide and Juno

. Myers, who managed Elvira, Shakes and Lion; though at his peak managed 7 assassins.

Assassins:

. Shakes

. Lion

. Ironside

. Rawhide

. Juno

. Elvira, who decided to leave this line of work.

Eventually, Quincy retired and Elvira betrayed the business. One night in 1947, she captured her former boss, Myers, off guard. Then, some time later, she managed to catch all nine remaining active members of the business off guard, and took them down with a non lethal explosion. They were subsequently captured by the Blade Syndicate, and later, the police.

The overnight destruction of the assassin business in London was so unbelievable, it wasn't until the newspapers showed pictures of the arrested assassins that people finally believed it.
