Character

The Black Hand

Created by whisper in the wind

The Black Hand, a notorious band of young thieves, rose from the gritty streets of Deaddrik, a medieval settlement notorious for its criminal underbelly. Their leader, Dewpree Takken, had a remarkable rags-to-riches story – found living on the streets as a child, he was taken under the wing of a master thief who trained him in the art of stealth and subtlety. When Dewpree's mentor was killed by a powerful crime boss, the young thief discovered a map leading to an extensive network of underground tunnels known as the Rif. There, he established the Black Hand's secret base, the Hole, and assembled a skilled team of 18-year-old men and women, all donning the signature black leather armor and face masks. Under Dewpree's leadership, the Black Hand has become a formidable force, stealing rare and valuable items from the wealthy and powerful, always evading the authorities and leaving no trace behind.
