The Fraternity of Assassins is the informal name of the Fraternity of Weavers. The group was formed in a Cathar monastery in eastern Moravia.
According the Fraternity's leader, every culture in history has a secret code. One which cannot be found in traditional texts. A thousand years ago, a clan of Cathar weavers discovered a mystical language hidden in the fabric of threads woven by a special loom. They called themselves "The Fraternity." What's hidden is a binary code. If a vertical thread is on top it's a 1, if it's below then it's a 0. Decrypted, the code gives the name of a person that fate itself has decreed must be assassinated. It's a mode of necessity to maintain balance in the world. The Fraternity believe this is to forge stability out of chaos. The code of the Fraternity is "kill one and maybe, save a thousand." The specific loom that weaves the fabric with the encrypted names of the targets is called "The Loom of Fate."
All of the members of the Fraternity possess a special abilities that only a few people in the world possess. When under stress, their heart beats in excess of 400 beats per minute, sending abundant amounts of adrenaline into the bloodstream. This allows them to see and react faster than normal. The other ability Fraternity assassins possess is the power to curve bullets. They can instinctively shoot a gun in a manner that actually guides the bullet's path around objects to hit its target.
