One of the several special squads on the WRF roster tasked with stopping gladiators or other beings too powerful for regular enforcers to handle. They can be called individually to take care of smaller matters but only called as a team should the need arise. Currently this team has the lowest member count at three but currently, there are no plans nor suitable candidates to reinforce this squad. Members or whole teams can be sent around the world to help other branches but they are mainly based around Sierra Pines.

The name ‘Daesos’ refers to a group of monks living in the forests of Vague City. They don’t stay in one place, preferring to move to whatever location is the most fruitful for hunting and gathering. Aside from the latter activities, they spend most of their time praying, reading books, and singing (their harmonies are astonishingly good). In terms of attire, theirs is quite lackluster; usually consisting of animal furs and clothing woven from plant fibers.

They can also be recognized by their symbol, a simplistic eye shape with three lines ‘dripping’ beneath the lower lid. The symbol comes in many colors (white being the most common), and the center line is longer than the others. The pupil is another line that runs down the center of the eye shape; connecting to the center line. The Daesos do not flaunt this sign openly, rather, it is often found as a single marking on their backs, sleeves, or shoulders. They never mark their skin.



The monks seem to have dedicated their lives to serving something they call the “Great One” (probably a deity), and it is his eye that is portrayed in their symbols. They claim that this Great One has created the universe and everything in it, and live a very humble life; basing it on the following laws:

1. Thou shalt not have any other gods before the Great One
2. Thou shalt not make idols
3. Thou shalt not take the Great One’s name in vain
4. Thou shalt keep the Sabbath day holy
5. Thou shalt honor your father and mother
6. Thou shalt not kill
7. Thou shalt not commit adultery
8. Thou shalt not steal
9. Thou shalt not speak falsely against thy neighbor
10. Thou shalt not covet

They say the laws have been written by the Great One himself.



The monks of Tevso Daesos, aside from maintaining personal faith, are also interested in saving people from the “Nether”. This place is supposedly where all evil beings go after death, and where they would live in torment for eternity. The good beings seem to go to Heaven, a place of everlasting life, joy, and light. The monks are quite convinced that both Heaven and the Nether exist and seem subtly interested in helping others improve their lives…and so be fit for Heaven when the time comes. They do this not by force, but by conversation, example, and (rarely) inexplicable signs. This entire process to go from the path of confusion, doubt, and/or evil, to the path of Heaven, hope and light is called Tevikzyl or, the “Way”.

Though they do get disappointed when wicked people refuse to change their ways, they often just pray earnestly for those people until they die. Then they leave everything in the Great One’s hands. Also, they appear to get most of their wisdom from an ancient book called Zerfesazyl (zer-fae-sah-zill), which literally means ‘holy’. Though the majority of the elder monks know the text by heart, the younger ones use copies to hone their knowledge. The copies usually contain 1,834 pages, not including the table of contents and other significant reflection-based text. Though that may not sound like much, keep in mind that every copy is hand-written, and every page is filled on both front and back with text. Interestingly, the Zerfesazyl text bears a striking resemblance to the words found in the standard Roman Catholic bibles (that is, the ones with the extra books, Tobit, Judith, Wisdom, Sirach, Baruch, 1 Maccabees, 2 Maccabees, additions to Esther, Jeremiah, Daniel, and other texts etc.).

How do they write all these copies? Well, all monks have somehow acquired the skill to turn their index fingernail into a pointed claw. The claw expends seemingly indefinite amounts of ink. Before you ask…the nail is much too frail to be used as a weapon, and no monk would ever use it for such a purpose anyways.



So, do the Daesos monks receive divine favor? The answer, which may be surprising…is yes. There have been a number of miraculous events that have occurred to protect the monks over the years, ranging from small (just enough food to sustain themselves every year) to great (an army sent to eradicate them continuously got lost in the woods; eventually they gave up and left). Even individual members of the Daesos group have had many inexplicable, yet wonderful things that have happened to them in their lives. These incidents prompted them to join Daesos, while others strengthened the beliefs of current members. The situations range from seeing a loved one returned to life, the conversion of an great evil to the Way…the list goes on.

Though rare, there have also been reports that winged beings made of light have been seen with each of the monks. These reports have (unsurprisingly), been confirmed as true. Indeed, most find it inexplicably difficult to harm any Daesos monk, for any reason at all.

Enemies

No group is without enemies, and Daesos is no exception. Evil people calling themselves ‘Soul Seekers’ have recently been committing heinous acts, and then leaving the Daesos symbol by the crime scenes. Though there have been plenty of WRF agents meeting with the Daesos group in the woods, investigating, they find no evidence to link them with the ‘Soul Seekers’. Still, the twisted group continues its vile practices, and the members of Tevso Daesos continue to pray for them, in spite of all that they’re doing.

Appearance: Being a deity (more like an embodiment actually), Death holds a massive presence when in a room. His actual height is unknown, as he can take on whatever form he wants, but usually appears as a seven and a half foot tall man wrapped up in a billowing black cloak. His hands are almost skeletal, with a thin film of gray skin covering the stark white bones underneath. His scythe is not constantly held in hand, rather materializing in his hand when he calls for it. This weapon of his has a handle carved from an oak tree and stands around eight feet tall, taller than Death, with a five foot long, crescent shaped blade extending from the top. Death has never shown his face, and no one, not even Abbas, has seen under the cloak, as, looking inside said cloak, only reveals a swirling pool of darkness.

Personality: Being the god dedicated to collecting peoples' souls, Death is cold, calculating and above all relentless. He will never stop in his pursuit of a man or woman's soul, even if they're out of his reach, as to say they've attained some way to cheat death and live on. This is, in his eyes, unacceptable and will do anything to claim the offending person's spirit, usually through combat.

Associations: Al-Abbas min Filastin (Sworn Enemy)

Background: Born from the first action of murder committed thousands of years ago, Death has existed since the first man was struck down. The immortal being exists only to collect souls from those who pass from the physical life and bring them into his own possession. Death is the eldest of all his deity brothers and sisters, having reigned over them as their undisputed leader since the dawn of his and their existence.

He currently haunts Al-Abbas min Filastin with visits and visions, trying to cause him grief and to force him to succumb to Death's wish of possessing his soul.

The JazzBerry Café is a building on Redwood Street in Vague City. The place is growing in popularity due to the large variety of sweets and beverages, the relaxing atmosphere the place has, and the concerts. They host concerts every now and then, usually for jazz and blues musicians. On any regular day, there will be musicians there performing music to contribute to the relaxing atmosphere of the café.

The interior has redwood flooring and dim lights. There is also a bell over the glass door that sounds the entrance of a customer. There are tables, booths, and seats available at the bar located at the back of the joint to the left of the stage, which is also at the back wall. It is a common place to go to if you have business to discuss with someone or just to have a friendly snack. Most of the customers there however, usually stand out, since the spot is common for gladiators, but that fact actually helps the café since it attracts fans of the RHG.

The café serves many different beverages, from fruit punch to tequila (alcoholic beverages are served at the bar, for rather obvious reasons) a wide variety of coffee and tea are available, decaf, espresso, frappuccino, green teas, black teas, white teas, iced teas, oolong, and even yellow tea (yes, that’s a thing). Though, even more items can be ordered as a part of their secret menu like their Shirley Temple and their Peach Mango Milkshake Madness. They also serve sandwiches, croissants, muffins, cinnamon buns, cake pops, and other sweets. The café has a back room for employees that has a TV, free food, and even a menu listing all of the secret menu items. This room also leads to the storage room.

The owner of the café, Joshua Higgins, is a loud, prideful German man in his mid thirties who always had a dream of opening a café in the big city. His dream came true when he and his friends helped him get on his feet. Without his friends, the café would have never gotten this far.

The Labyrinth is a high class neighbourhood located at the East side of SP City. It has fancy houses, pools and hi-tech parks, it has a river at its East side, and has an underground secret bunker in case anything bad happens. The bunker is made from hard Chromium and is more like an underground neighbourhood than a bunker. It has a literate cliffhanger facing toward the river giving a nice view.





The reason it is called The Labyrinth is because the neighbourhood's shape is like a maze/labyrinth, you can easily get lost if you're not carefull, but there are some signs to help you find your way back. The Labyrinth has a big stage at the very center, some bands like to go there and perform for free. The stage usually opens at night, usually at 20:00 at normal days, and 18:30 at weekends.

The Labyrinth is built at the year 2000 by Terenti Eduard Ignasius, a rich, polite and cheerful man now at his mid fourtys and has two sons and a daughter to help him run the place.

Appearance:
Mathias stands at six foot one and has brown eyes, brown square glasses, and a dark brown goatee. He is bald and is a bit on the tan side. Mathias would typically wear slim fit dark jeans and a short-sleeve striped button-up to work, and would usually wear this kind of clothing anywhere else.

Personality:
Mathias is a religious man that goes to church every day with his family, and stays firm in his belief, even though there are gladiators that claim to be "sons of gods, angels who serve multiple gods," etc, that would go against his belief system. He is very extroverted, and a very easygoing friendly guy all around. After becoming a husband, father, and a friend of Percy, he has learned a lot of lessons that turned him from a picky, careless, and cocky rich kid into a kind, loving, and encouraging person. Now, he is quick to forgive and a bit slow to anger, and has good control over his emotions, and never let's them control his actions.

About:
Mathias grew up in a very rich home as an only child and was very spoiled. Because of this, he grew up to have an "I'm better then you" kind of attitude, and had no care if he wasted food or screwed around with things that some people couldn't afford to have. He was very smart however, and managed to skip fifth grade all together, and took Algebra 01 in seventh grade. He made honor roll and never had anything less than a B in all if his classes.

He wasn't a favorite person in school, but when he went to Stickpage University, one of the best schools in the area, he met Percy Farukon, who managed I befriend him, and change his life. Percy taught him to be humble and caring towards others. He also met Joshua Higgins who helped influence him too. As they grew older, the three became best of friends, and still find time to hang out with each other.

Mathias was also a part of a clan with Percy and his cousin, and served as the clan engineer and the information broker. However, when the leader died from murder and the group started fighting over accusations, Mathias had cut off all ties with the group. However, Percy has been telling Mathias that he'd like to reunite the group and bring in some new recruits.

After this gladiator drama, Mathias had met Vanessa White, whom he eventually married and had one child with her, Emma Goodmin. Now, Mathias works as a mechanical engineer, but also has worked in electrical engineering. His job allows him to work with weapons that eventually get shipped to stores that sell items for gladiators. He works full time, and always comes home to meet his wife and one-year old daughter.
