The guild started as a son organization of the Usiku wa manane mbaya, a crime gang inside Astune the poorest district inside Mtaji, the capitol of Cidor. The thieves guild however didn't want to get involved in the heavier crimes. So they talked to their father organization and laid out a plan. To only involve themselves with pickpocketing and robbery, instead of murder and other heavier crimes the crime gang was known for in Astune.
