==The Malfian Blood Guild==

On the [[hive world]] of [[Malfi]] in the [[Calixis Sector]], [[Segmentum Obscurus]], the [[Blood Guild]] is an organisations of bounty hunters and man-trackers that have risen to infamy across the [[Malfi sub-sector|sub-sector]] and beyond. Owing its origins to some long forgotten internecine war in Malfi’s history of vendetta and civil infighting – a history that predates Malfi’s “liberation” during the [[Angevin Crusade]] in [[M39]] – the Blood Guild has long served to track down and apprehend or kill fugitives whose warrants have been issued by the [[Malfian Senate]]. Those [[blood warrant]]s are aptly named, issued in the form of a tough parchment scroll bearing the seal of the authorising body and carrying within it a [[gene-lock]] circuit amulet designed to identify the victim by their blood when spilled over it. The execution of these warrants usually requires the subject’s termination, or more rarely their capture for trial – with some warrants adding further gruesome specifics to the discharge notice. The returning of the bloodstained warrant results in payment drawn on Malfi’s own [[Obsidian Chancellery]]. Falsifying such a warrant in some way is a dire matter indeed, and immediately results in a blood-price of truly staggering proportions being placed on the head of the malefactor by the guild.{{Fn|16b}}
