Blackheart Privateers

The Blackheart Privateers, or simply Blackhearts, is the name of Morgan's massive underground organization. Despite their preference for smuggling almost anything for anyone who can pay their fee, they also take jobs similar to the Thieves Guild and the Dark Brotherhood. Despite being smaller in number, they are arguably well-trained, determined, and extremely dangerous. They are also known for their services regarding bounty hunting.

Requirements
"It is never a question if a hunter will ever find it's prey -- only when."

- Morgan

Similar to the Brotherhood, initiates must display the ability to kill any target mercilessly, without regret or sorrow. As such, they were required to undergo an initiation rite, usually requiring the initiate to eliminate three targets with no remorse. After the first rite, they were given the option to contract vampirism from their superiors if desired.

In addition, all initiates were required to learn a basic healing spell and flames spell for increased survival capability. Ingestion of a substance called the "Potion of Adaptibility" were also mandatory for recruits. The potion was said to give the drinker the ability to breathe water permanently, but was also lethal to those who fail to accomodate to the physical alteration these mysterious potions gave.

Despite the line and nature of their work, Blackhearts were forbidden from performing immoral acts against other members, such as killing each other and even attacking without reason. According to Elvali, breaking the unwritten rules were heavily punished. They were also obligated not to attack innocents, at least until their survival or the safety of the Blackhearts were concerned.

All Blackhearts possess at least four notable abilities; Transversals, Telekinesis, Detect Dead, and Detect Life the former being used to instantly travel short distances, and the latter used for a variety of tasks, such as telekinetic wards, pulling or pushing targets or objects, firing concentrated teleknetic bolts or slugs. or even choking a target from afar with telekinesis. The most skilled of telekinesis users were known to directly crush the organs of their targets from within, making them feared opponents against both warriors and mages. The detection spells were used for blowing enemies out of stealth through calculated use.

In addition to these, they also utilized bound swords in the form of a Nordic variant of the Steel Sword. They were also very skilled in unarmed combat, with Morgan noting that disarming a Blackheart does not end the battle immediately.

The outfits of the Blackhearts were almost always the same. They use Rough Leather Armor as their attire, favored for both protection, light weight, compact carrying capacity, and camouflage in shadowy areas. For physical weapons, they utilized shortswords and backup daggers, usually hidden somewhere in their person. They also make use of poisons to take down any foe of any size, and potions to bolster their already formidable skills.
