Night Owl Clan

The Night Owl Clan, or simply the Night Owls, are an elusive band of highly-trained assassins. They are one of the oldest known, still functioning organizations in the world, having seemingly been formed before even the Eladrin Empire.

Description
Few have actually seen a Night Owl and lived long enough to describe their appearance after the fact. But all sightings share the description of a black-garbed figure, with a mask obscuring their face and giving them appearance of an owl.

Membership
It is not publicly known how one would go about joining the Night Owl Clan, nor is it known how many members there are at any given time.

There are three distinct tiers of Night Owls, each one indicating an individual's skill level and experience:

Fledgling
The lowest ranking members of the Night Owl Clan, Fledglings are nonetheless deadly killers in their own right. Fledlgings most often work in groups to ensure their goal, but on occassion a solo mission is given, usually as a rite of passge into the next tier.

Talon
The second tier of the Night Owl Clan, the title of Talon is reserved for those who have proven themselves as effective and reliable killers during their tenure as Fledglings. They are silent and lethal, and no confirmed Talon has ever been caught or killed.

Blackwing
The highest rank achievable for active Night Owl assassins is that of Blackwing. To be a Blackwing is to be one of the deadliest individuals on the planet, and often times Blackwings have special and unique abilites that enhance their effectiveness. They most often work alone, and are selected for only the most dangerous or important of targets. No confirmed Blackwing has ever failed their mission.
