- "My associates aren't known for flaws. They are the best of the best, brightest of the bright and the strongest of the strong. They are also known for their restraint and... compassion, to say the least. The reason: they don't see a war between or for Light and Darkness in this system, they see profit."
- — Wren Kinsing
Castris's Criminal Empire is a massive Fallen crime syndicate known for it's rather elite and prestigious members as well as it's shocking alliance with Guardians and gangs of other races. It is known to be, arguably, the most notorious and influential crime syndicate of the Underground.
History
Creation
- "My kind has always been so brash. So bold. So reckless. So lost in this crusade for their Great Machine that they forgot how to prosper and evolve. So arrogant that they refuse to accept that the Great Machine has made it's choice. Why not take opportunity in it's absence to thrive? Why not take opportunity in the carnage and strife to make a pile of Glimmer? Strength, power and status doesn't come from charging headlong into battle, they come from restraint and opportunism."
- — Castris, at the time, King Baroness
Humble Beginnings
- "We weren't always the respected-out-of-fear syndicate we are now. We were weak, small, destitute. But Castris, my long time sister-in-arms, told us not to be desperate, but to wait, to pick what wasn't intricately tied to what could be our enemies, to take what was lost, to steal what was abandoned. If it weren't for her lessons in restraint, we would have gone extinct like countless other houses."
- — Vyslaks, former King Baroness
Rise of a Criminal Empire
- "The Bannerless Syndicate! Oh how shadowing and menacing it is to all thieves and warlords! Patient, yet malicious. Humble, yet avaricious. Such power and might held back with impressive and horrifying restraint! To cross them, no matter how infinitesimal, is a quick route to the grave."
- — Zevaksis, head of the Seraphite Cartel
