Office Sixteen

Dwarven Masterminds are usually members or pawns of “Office Sixteen.” A secret, and officially non-existent office that exists on a floor that also doesn't exist. Named after a dwarven joke, they do in fact exist and operate directly under the ruling clan council. Almost nothing is known about these secretive operatives as they are one of the very few dwarven groups who wholeheartedly embrace the use of stealth and other ‘undwarflike’ tactics. Incredibly effective, those who work for Office Sixteen are renowned for their intelligence gathering. So good are they that some claim that a captured mind flayer gifted them a part of its power. Their membership is a closely guarded secret, though defections have happened, most notably the dwarf Hernagog, Bluntjaw. Hernagog retired to the northern outposts where he opened a small school to teach his secret ways to any with coin. Since they officially do not exist, no one has recognized Hernagog’s departure, though the dwarf claims to receive weekly assassination attempts.
