Shade Mafia

The Five Paths, colloquially the Shade Mafia, is a criminal organization comprised almost entirely of shades created by the Akhinator, its leader and founder. It operates from the Luxor Pyramid in Lost Veygass, monstrous criminals and a perfect place to find new recruits. It places heavy emphasis on Atunian culture, although as of recently it has started styling itself after a mysterious being known as the God Father.

History
The Shade Mafia was started by a recently-transformed Akhinator in Atunia, where he peddled his shade-creation process to desperate criminals and poverty victims. In no time he'd gained a sizable following and prepared to launch a small war against the current Pharaten, but was discovered by the guards before he could enact his plans for Atunian domination.

The Five Paths fled to the Inkamayan city of Lost Veygass and set up a base of operations from the Luxor Pyramid; they became the second great criminal organization to settle there. In Lost Veygass they gained far more exposure and quickly gained fame for their leaders surgical skills, attracting criminals from far and wide to pay to become what he called 'akhs' (however, the influx of other races lead to the colloquial name 'shades'), and many of them now fill out its ranks.

The Akhinator
The Shade Mafia is headed by the Akhinator, its eternal leader, who oversees its every action from his suite atop the Pyramid.

The Akhs or 'the God Children'
Below the Akhinator are the Akhs, better known as the God Children, his 50 odd lieutenants. They make up the first group he obtained in Atunia and typically act as champions leading the lower-ranking members. They gained their name by styling themselves after the God Father, having undergone ritual scarring to match his divine attire and wearing modified Feddorah head dresses, which give off a more limited version of Lost Veygass' defensive curse.

The Shades
Making up the standard ranks are the Shades, those recruited since the move to Lost Veygass. They act as foot soldiers for the Mafia and have fewer rights within the organization. Very rarely one may show great skill or ruthlessness and gain all the rights and privileges of an Akh, but still keep their old title.
