[QUOTE="Rechan, post: 3795284, member: 54846"] In all honesty, I don't know if you're being serious. I do think that a Crime Boss in the Capital in the Good Kingdom would see it in their best interest to help stop some threat looming over the Kingdom. For instance sending a skilled gun or a talented "in and out" man who can get people into the Fortress of Badness, because who better to break into the unbreakable than a professional burglar? To use another example: Marv from Sin City. Marv is not a Good Guy. He is a Very Bad Man. But he definitely fought much worse evil because it tarnished and corrupted something he cared a lot about. He was willing to sacrifice himself to right this wrong. He just doesn't care about his methods. Not to mention Ghost Rider/Brimstone/Reaper, the perverbial "Hi, I'm the devil. I own your soul. Now you are my bounty hunter. Go get'm, tiger." A friend had an idea for a campaign. There exists a religion devoted to the battling of supernatural evil. But sometimes, when battling evil, you must do Bad Things, unspeakable things. And sometimes, the best opponent of evil is more evil. The church of this religion would have a small sect that controls a group known as The Unmentionables, who are fiends, undead, and other "Nasty things" who for whatever reason (Geas, Conversion, Debt, Personal Gain), fight forces of evil/the church's enemies, or whoever their handlers point them at. Much like Alucard from Helsing. [/QUOTE]
