Among thieves, there are always a few extraordinary individuals who can unite their group with an unshakable bond. These are the ones who make even the most scattered band of outlaws a force to be reckoned with.
Recently, William dealt a heavy blow to a group of defectors who had allied with the thieves. They were cleared out swiftly, and while it's uncertain if all were killed, it hardly mattered. Neither thieves nor defectors were known for their tactical prowess or discipline.
