Soldiers of the Underkeepers – Mafia Brigands

Soldiers of the Underkeepers – Mafia Brigands

Human (Artificer, Gunslinger, Rogue)

Standing fast with loaded firearms and a hardened, street-level readiness, this tactical squad brings immediate military discipline mixed with criminal ruthlessness to the table. Outfitted in practical, studded dusters and high-collared protective gear, their unified appearance makes them an undeniable presence on any urban map. Keepers can deploy them to represent a fortified frontline picket, an organized syndicate death squad, or heavily armed rebel skirmishers controlling key street sectors.

Tabletop Lore

The everymen of the Underkeepers, these fighters comprise a staunchly nationalist gang that dedicates its blood and loyalty strictly to the common people of Grimgate, rather than crown kings or bloated nobles. Drawn directly from the ranks of the downtrodden, these brigands have taken up black-powder arms against their oppressive overlords. While cynical observers argue they have lost sight of their founding ideals—frequently stepping upon the very citizens they claim to aid in their fervent, violent pursuit of idealized justice—such moral philosophy is best left to scholars. On the blood-slicked stones of the slums, these operatives focus on a simpler truth: standing with weapons in-hand, fully prepared to pull the trigger on whoever their commander, Vincent, marks for death.

Highlight

The highly tactical and cohesive aesthetic of these street-level foot soldiers offers Keepers a perfectly balanced threat profile that looks organized, lethal, and distinctly grounded in dark fantasy crime.
