Belief System and Cultist Life

The cult believes that for every death a soul is released, and each soul can be absorbed into their own to live forever. If they're killed then their soul and the souls they collected are absorbed into the person who kills them. In essence they believe that each kill releases their victim into a life of immortality.

"Do not deny cravings ...embrace infighting when order is not needed for the harvest of souls ... Those who live will continue on with our harvest, and those who die will carry on in those of the others and do just the same. Destruction should not be feared ...even the destruction of the self. One need not fear death in order to make rash actions. Fear pain, hunger, perhaps fear failing a goal.

Resources can be replaced. When one falls another will take his place.

Our goal is simply a matter of collecting souls, and continuing to draw on the Dark Side as our aid. In it's purist form, the Dark Side is self-destructive. In order to fully utilize it, we need to accept and embrace this, and know that when we die, or others, our soul is released into immortality."

- The Whisperer

For the purpose of learning how to skillfully work within the shadows, the cultists' training takes place during the night. They're taught that the night and it's shadows are to be utilized for harvesting souls of their victims.

Not every member of the cult is 'gifted with the Force.' It is made up of both Force sensitives and non-Force sensitives. Any willing person is welcomed into the cult as long as they submit to the cult's customs. However, how they're assigned to collect souls depends on the cult member's skill level and Force sensitivity, as the cult puts members into packs and these packs collect souls together. Packs are required to be made of members of similar skill levels. Sometimes packs have one stronger member in order to lead if the need arises, but most packs are encouraged to function as if each member of the pack is a leader of himself, thus the need to have similar skill levels.

The cult believes in power in numbers, being the reason behind the packs, and sees no point to risk their members by sending them off alone. This also creates a feeling of acceptance along with the need of their fellow cultists, creating and imprinting a group mind-frame, further gaining control over their members.

Each member knows of the leader of the cult but not his real name, they know him simply as "The Whisperer". The Whisperer speaks very little and spends little time within the cults enclave, but when he is around everyone awaits to hear about his thoughts on current events inside the cult. He is known to watch over the cultists, making sure that everything runs smoothly to keep the cult going. The Whisper normally speaks with the Listener who enforces most of the Whisperers laws and changes. Then there are the enforcers, who work as extra hands to help the Listener when the times demand it.

The Enclave is not overly used as many members spend short amounts of time within its walls, for training and getting updates on events. Only guards stay inside the enclave for long periods of time, sometimes almost never leaving. Most guards do not collect souls themselves but believe that the other members 'share souls' with them for protecting the enclave.

There are a few cult members who do not partcipate in cult activities but support the cult and its members, giving them a place to stay around the galaxy, credits throughout travels, intel, etc. They're either people who want to use the assassins for their own proposes or people who agree with the cults way of life but cannot be a part of it themselves due to personal reasons. These people are known as Guardians.

Birth Of the Cult
Cult "Labous an Ankou," started by a man named Wraith, who created the ideals of the cult and funded it's creation after the loss of another cult. Under the orders of Wraith, an assassin known as Angel("The Whisperer" to cult members) collected Force users to train them under the cult's belief system in order to use them. The system only ever allowing the followers to know of The Whisperers existence, and no one beyond him in a dictatorship role.

Allies List


Wraith both created the idea of the cult and funded it's creation, having Angel work as 'leader' of the cult in name only. Wraith is the leader of a secret Grey Jedi Order that is tainted closer to the Dark Side, a Order known as the "Pentacle Athame Order" to their members and allies.

Wraith uses Labous an Ankou, it's Dark Jedi members, for his own ambitions/his allies ambitions. It provides him with assassins outside of his Order, and the ability to use the power of the Dark Side without becoming completely corrupt himself, or corrupting any of the Pentacle Athame Order's members.


The Hutt Empire occasionally hires "Labous an Ankou" for missions too large for Darksaber and too small for the Razorbacks. "Labous an Ankou" members enjoy the missions and do them all in order to harvest the souls of the victims. Wraith, on the other hand, is pleased to see his creation being put to use as it should be for his ally.

You should elaborate on this "secret funding by various others." It's quite vague. What led them to provide funding for this group, etc. etc.

Oh sorry, I mean, PAO and it's endeavors are funded by the Hutt's along with it's own members. So the various others would be PAO members..but I should probably just say funded by PAO. Lemme remove that.

By the way...if theres any confusion here...Wraith is the leader of PAO.

So I'm to assume that Wraith gave the OK that PAO will be funding this group?

Also, does the faction possess any ships, regardless of whether they are armed or unarmed?

Yeah, it says under the birth of the cult he formed it after the fall of another cult. So he gave the ok to fund it as well(Wraih my character...again incase of any confusion).

No, no ships. Just like PAO they're required to find their own transportation.

No. It's a Owl. Labous an Ankou means "The Death Bird". For example...if a owl cries it can be refereed to as "labous an ankou" which is a death omen.
