OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Guild of the Purple Lotus is a very traditional Anzati assassin guild, tightly bound by the Anzati Code of Honor. They cannot and will not disclose any information about their contracts or their kills, choosing to die rather than break the code. Additionally, the Masters of the Guild are forbidden from training more than one student at a time, much like the Jedi and Sith Orders of old. They eat the "Soup" of those they kill, viewing it as a way of adding the essences of their victims to the Silent Voices over Anzat. There is a Grandmaster, followed by a Circle of Masters, then their Apprentices, and then the Initiates at the bottom. Many of the members are from smaller branches of the Kortun clan, or whose families have a long tradition of serving the Purple Lotus.
Ostensibly, the Guild of the Purple Lotus is a martial arts training society, at least publically. But it's a bit of an open secret that they are really training to be assassins, regardless of the technical legality of the profession. They have no loyalty outside the Guild and even their version of the Sith Code has been modified, and they have no loyalty to the broader Sith adherents, taking contracts on Sith as often as they do Jedi or non-Force sensitive, although Azar prefers contracts on powerful Force-sensitives.
RATIONALE:
The Guild goes back thousands of years, operating as a traditional Anzati assassin's guild. Its origin has been lost to the mists of time, potentially dating back long before the foundation of the Republic, but their history is a closely guarded secret. For many centuries, leadership had been held within the various branches of the Kortun clan. For several hundred years, it remained docile and almost stagnant, led by the unambitious Tilar Kortun. His younger brother Azar, however, was driven by ambitious, and decades studying both the clan's traditional martial arts style as well as the ways of the Sith, eventually formulating his own version of Sith philosophy, and he murdered his brother with Sith poison, and thus by tradition, seizing control of the Guild long before the years of the High Republic. But over time, due to complacency, his own travails, and other focuses, the Guild deteriorated, especially after the defection of the presumed heir, Tiland Kortun, to the Jedi Order.
Azar has only recently returned from a lengthy trip of his own, and dismayed by the state of the Guild in his absence and the tarnishing of his clan's legacy, he intends to restore them both before the madness of Anzati old age takes him.
