The Sinners League

The Sinners League is a cabal of infernal warlords and mercenaries who banded together after the end of the Blood War in order to consolidate and maintain their power.

About

The Blood War between Devils and Demons employed many fiendish mercenaries on both sides of the war, from humanoids, to Yugoloths, to rogue devils and angels. After the disappearance of the Demons and the drying up of the River Styx in 925 PR, the war seemingly concluded. With no more war to fight, these mercenaries were left without work, yet they did not want to give up the power they had accumulated. So they chose to unite together as a loose organization, sharing their power and resources in order to expand their influence across the lower planes, and primarily in the first layer of the Ten Hells, Duumal.

Their symbol is a humanoid skull with a dagger through its eyes.

History

The League was founded in 925 PR by a powerful Yugoloth warlord named Ramses whose exploits during the war commanded the respect and fear of his fellow mercenaries. When he raised the banner many other mercenaries flocked to his side. Expanding their influence, the league began to reach out to the remnants of Hells infernal armies who were now without purpose in order to convince them to join the league. These actions would put the league in conflict with the Pit Fiend Bel who was attempting to do the same. This expanded into a bloody turf war between the two sides along with other infernal factions such as the Fingers of Barroth. Though even with their vast resources the league was disorganized and quickly began to be pushed back by Bel and his growing militia.

When news of Bel purchasing a powerful war machine capable of ending the fighting reached the league's ears, many in the league thought their run was up. To determine their path forward, the league called together a council of its most prominent members at the ruins of Bloodmaw Keep, the remnants of the castle of Duumal's former ruler, Zariel.

Notable Members

Commandant Ramses

Ramses, also known as the Commandant, is a powerful Yugoloth arcanist hailing from the planes of Gehenna. For centuries they worked as a strategist for higher for devils and demons alike during the Blood War, depending on whichever side was paying the best at the time. The Hells and Abyss were aware Ramses was playing both sides of the war, but Ramses was to valuable an asset to ever betray or throw away. His ability to coordinate military operations and vast arrays of fiendish legions made him an unstoppable force on the battlefield.

Ramses looks like a large humanoid creature with a humanoid torso, a massive serpents tail in place of legs, three arms each with a fanged mouth in its palm, and the head of a praying mantis.

Captain Grinlocke Vorn

Captain Grinlocke Vorn is a bearded devil who during the Blood War managed to steal an infernal airship. Abandoning his post, Captain Grinlocke Vorn took to the ash choked skies of the lower planes and turned to piracy, descending on unsuspecting fiends before flying away with all the gold and soul coins he could carry. Aboard his ship, the Red Wake, Captain Grinlocke Vorn became one of the ten Hells most notorious criminals.
