essephar 

A legion of élite highwaymen, pirates, and other judicial vigilantes, who are inevitably on the wrong side of the powers that be, and yet not for the purpose of working against them. Often unsung heroes, misunderstood, lovable rogues, who do not reveal all their cards until precisely the right moment. Never to be underestimated, crossed, or taken lightly, these highly-trained avengers are snake-like in their infiltration, hulk-like in their revealed presence, and armageddon-like in their destruction of their target.

Origins: The Dalnet #SmokeFilledRoom which housed the initial conspirators; the first essephar council. Now to be found on irc://irc.irchighway.net/#smokefilledroom fighting the good fight in one way or another.
