The World It’s 2025 in New Orleans’ French Quarter, the seat of the Mutant Underground. All mutants in the world belong to either the Thieves Guild or the Assassins Guild.

  • In this glossy, nocturnal, and dangerous alternate Earth, all mutants belong to a secret unground society of criminals and must conceal their supernatural nature from humans. The characters are centered in NOLA’s French Quarter, which is the seat of both of the major mutant Guilds.
  • The Thieves Guild is led by the disreputable LeBeau family, and currently headed by Jean-Luc LeBeau. Thieves tend to be creative, stealthy, flexible, and conflict-adverse. They work in teams.
  • The Assassins Guild is led by the aristocratic Boudreaux family. Belladonna Boudreaux has been the heir apparent of the Assassins since she was 10 years old, and Mystique rules the day-to-day operations for her as regent. Assassins tend to be direct, lethal, level-headed, and efficient. They work independently.
  • The two factions are bound by a magically enforced contract called the Guildpact. These supernatural laws dictate the behavior of both guilds, and its edicts include maintaining secrecy, fulfilling any verbal bargains made with other guild members, and not conducting business on neutral territory. Violating Guildpact law results in a “kill order” being placed on you. Kill orders come with hefty bounties, and anyone with a kill order on them will be relentlessly hunted down by guild members.
  • Additionally, any official contracts signed in the blood of the negotiating parties are magically enforced, and the parties involved will be involuntarily compelled to complete any actions dictated by the contract.
The Incident Everyone bound by the Guildpact knows about the Wolverine, an undying master assassin capable of fulfilling any contract. A Bogeyman invoked on misbehaving children and cursed upon enemies alike, Wolverine was an active member of the Assassins Guild for, allegedly, over a hundred years. However, fifteen years ago, he fell in love with the thief Jean Grey, and signed an open-ended Bloodoath with the Boudreauxes to buy his freedom from the Guild.

Shortly after this document was executed, Jean Grey was killed by the Assassin Prince Julien Boudreaux. Wolverine killed many members of both guilds in the resulting rampage – by some accounts, as many as 700 Assassins and 300 thieves in the space of a week. Amongst his victims were all the Boudreauxes save for their 10 year old daughter, Belladonna. After exacting his revenge on Julien, the Wolverine vanished, and has not been seen since.

  • [Volunteer X] was once spared by the Wolverine during an encounter.
The Wedding Through Mystique’s machinations, a marriage was arranged between Belladonna Boudreaux and Remy Lebeau. They are compelled by the Guildpact to go through with this marriage. To break the engagement would cause all-out war between the two factions.

However, nobody actually wants the wedding to proceed: if the two were married, and then one of them was killed, the surviving individual would assume control of both guilds.

  • Thieves are trying to steal Wolverine’s Bloodoath contract to compel one of his clones to kill Belladonna Boudreaux.
  • Assassins are simply trying to kill Remy Lebeau before the wedding takes place.
