The Vanta Lords are the apex predators of

high society crime—a dynasty   of power-

clad tacticians, luxury killers, and narcotic

emperors. They don’t run street corners—

they own districts, skyscrapers, and silence.

Their operations blur the line between cartel

and   corporation,    between   violence   and

fashion. Their every move is choreographed

precise, and stylish—death in a velvet box.

The Vanta Lords made their   fortune   when

the Street Accord   was   first drafted, using

the temporary peace   to dig roots deep into

the city’s financial   institutions, blackmailing

politicians    and    buying     their   way   into

respectability. But now they believe the time

for restraint has ed.

They are the elite of the criminal underworld,

operating   above the   noise, behind closed

doors, and beneath crystal chandeliers. Their

soldiers    don’t    wear    colors—they     wear

shadows. Their parties are    weapons. Their

weapons are statements. Every kill is theater,

every deal a coronation.

international     distribution.       Oversees   labs,

chemists, and street-level whispers. Creator of

Ash Wine,   the   Lords’   signature   high-purity

where their skeletons are buried (or who buried

them). Controls the Lords' internal intelligence

network.

⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤTHE HOST ⨾ Open

Head of Human Assets & Entertainment Fronts

Curates the Lords’ visible empire: clubs, casinos,

luxury spas,   escort rings.   Ensures high-value

trafficking looks like   VIP hospitality. Fronts are

opulent, but everyone behind the velvet curtain

is owned.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀THE RED HAND ⨾ LAZIEL

Chief of Enforcement & Extraction

ㅤㅤ𝐕𝐄𝐋𝐕𝐄𝐓 𝐒𝐂𝐎𝐔𝐑𝐆𝐄ㅤㅤㅤ

Internal enforcement & purging division

Root out betrayal,   eliminate weak links, erase

liabilities—internally.    When   loyalty   falters   or

discretion fades,   the   Velvet Scourge is called.

This is not   punishment—it’s preservation. They

are the Vanta Lords’   clean-up artists, enforcers

of purity, and executors of the family’s   harshest

truths. When a   Lord steps out of line, misuses

power, or even begins to   question orders, the

Scourge arrives—not to   ask why,   but to   finish

the story.

Clad in matte crimson and black,   they   operate

with eerie calm. They   don’t speak in the field.

They don’t kill with rage.   Their presence alone

is often enough to make    lower of the

Court confess, flee, or take their own lives. They

are the ones who   serve the   sealed   scrolls of

Judgement, and   also   the ones who deliver the

punishment that lies within the scrolls.

❛ We trade in desire, not desperation. ❜

Never deal dirty product.

❛ A Lord bleeds in velvet. ❜

Style, control, and reputation matter.

❛ No oaths are broken—only bones. ❜

Betrayal is a fate worse than death.

ㅤㅤㅤ𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐈𝐍𝐈𝐓𝐈𝐀𝐓𝐈𝐎𝐍ㅤㅤㅤ

❛ Blood crowns the worthy. ❜

ing the Vanta Lords   isn’t a   decision—it’s a

death    sentence    in   disguise.     Once   you're

initiated, you don’t exist in the eyes of the world

anymore. You become   property of the   Crown.

  ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤPHASE ONE ⨾ The Red Room

The initiate is stripped of all identity: name, past,

affiliations.

Kept isolated for seven days in a blacked-out

chamber called the Red Room, bathed only in

the dim light of a single red bulb.

Fed Ash Wine microdoses to weaken resistance

and purge memories.

Audio plays loops of old betrayals, regrets, and

manipulated voices of loved ones—until only

loyalty to the Lords remains.

Goal: Break the self. Kill the old identity.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤPHASE TWO ⨾ The Offering

Initiate is   brought   before a    Mirror Lord   and

ordered to choose:

a) Betray a blood relative,

OR

b) Sacrifice a person they personally protected

in life.

The kill must be clean, elegant, and unflinching.

The body is dressed in silk   and disposed of by

the Red Hand.

The initiate is marked across   the throat with a

razor dipped in    Ash Wine.    This scar is left to

fade into a permanent, barely visible line.

Goal: Prove emotional

severance and capacity for cold violence.

  ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤPHASE THREE ⨾ The Gilding

The   initiate   kneels    before a   Black-Crowned

officiator.

Their wrist is sliced open,   and blood drips onto a

matte-black crown held over a basin of powdered

obsidian and gold dust.

The blood is   mixed into a   resin used to   tattoo

the gang's crest on their inner forearm.

The words spoken during the tattoo:

“You are gilded in blood, bound in silence.

You belong to the Crown.”

Goal: Mark the transformation.

Induct the initiate into the lineage.

ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤㅤ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀ ⠀⠀⠀FINAL SEAL ⨾The Gift

Upon successful initiation,

the new Lord receives:

A tailored   matte-black   suit   or dress

A vial of Ash Wine, for ceremonial   use

A custom karambit or stiletto, engraved

with their chosen name.

Their first solo contract—a

test of autonomy, efficiency, and flair

𝐓𝐇𝐄 𝐂𝐑𝐎𝐖𝐍 𝐓𝐇𝐀𝐓 𝐂𝐇𝐎𝐊𝐄𝐒

Design Description:

A matte-black crown with barbed inner points, meant to rest on the throat rather than the head. The tips of the crown curve inward, resembling a choke collar. Sometimes wrapped in a ribbon of red silk or shown with a drop of blood at its base.

In tattoos, it’s often hidden in linework—blended into luxury symbols like roses, skulls, or designer logos.

Variations by Rank:

Initiates (Red-Silked): Only wear a small barbed ring on their pinky.

Veil Operatives: Crown tattoo is integrated into a sleeve or chest piece.

Blooded Lords: Wear it in lapel pins, rings, or cufflinks—black on black.

Trinity : Crown symbol is sculpted into obsidian jewelry or ceremonial weapons.
