**First Appearance:** #book1 One of the biggest and baddest guilds of assassins in the known universe. Also, humanoid aliens with very white skin, too-long arms ending in too-long fingers. Some are working as security guards for [[Marcus Pevensi]]. Originally actual thieves who stole salt, this is a three-hundred-year-old guild of assassins known for their ruthless behavior, piracy, and tendency to kill. Members are identified by a complex, distinct system of braids in their hair. These braids are often cut and taken as prizes, especially by Peacemakers.
