THE torturers

The Clan of Torturers is perhaps the most notorious and widely feared of the Clans.   Their reputation spans off of the plains and into the cities where many Ubars will hire them for their skill at interrogation.  Althorugh their preferred method of death is long and drawn out, they are highly proficient at the same swift and sudden kills as those of the city Assassins.  Women are not only forbidden to join the ranks of the Clan of Torturers, but it is also punishable by death for both a man who teaches a woman their skills and for the woman learning the skills alike.  Due to the common belief that their skill with detaining life is an art form in itself, their clan bead colors alternate between the Black of the Assassins and the Red of the Artisans to match their skill of both Castes combined.   Although many players will refer to this Clan as "The Black Masks", there is no reference to any such name nor the wearing of any masks save for their hoods that keep their faces hidden.

“The Wagon Peoples, of all those on Gor that I know, are the only ones that have a clan of torturers, trained as carefully as scribes or physicians, in the arts of detaining life. Some of these men have achieved fortune and fame in various Gorean cities, for their services to Initiates and Ubars, and others of interest in the arts of detection and persuasion. For some reason they have all worn hoods. It is said they remove the hood only when the sentence is death, so that it is only condemned men who have seen whatever it is that lies beneath the hood.”
