The Spectrum

The Seven Spectrum are a mercenary group operating out of Vale. They are currently lead by Kogil Dir and operate doing jobs for figures in the Underworld, currently with in long time employment with the Avantura Famiglia.

Founding
The Seven were founded by Kogil Dir with the intention of leading them to financial success. The Seven were formed after all the members graduated from Beacon.

Early Years
The existence of the resin allowed the Blackthorn Mercenaries to save quite a bit of capital, as they could forge their own armor for next to zero cost. As such, they were outfitted with better weapons than most other for-hire groups in similar circumstances. This edge allowed them to offer for cheaper rates, while providing better service. This gained them a small following among beleaguered individuals. They started out exclusively as a Grimm-hunting unit, but eventually moved to accepting all types of work. Their clientele was extremely varied, even including local governments during the aftermath of the Faunus Rights Revolution, when they were called on to bolster under-equipped police forces, most notably the City of Menagerie.

It all started with a group of friends in Beacon Academy most notably known for their aversion from their peers, or their peers' aversion from them, as they were an overall intimidating group. They started out with some simple jobs, working as body guards and escorts, but found it unenjoyable, moving onto other jobs provided by underworld figures. They all picked individual specialties and split into pairs to commit their hired crimes.

Employment by the Avantura Famigla
Hired by their underground informant, they came under the service of the Avantura Famiglia, where they took over primary control of the crime organization.
