Loki Caste: Stealth & Information Control
The Loki Caste is tasked with preserving the secrets of the Army of Masks and uncovering those of its enemies. Loki officers prize stealth and knowledge over strength, speed, resiliency, and the like, often preventing or avoiding needless battles, which earns them a certain level of disdain from the more battle-oriented Castes. Loki soldiers are often employed as assassins, saboteurs, thieves, messengers, and spies.
Entrusted with some of the most potent secrets of the Vizard civilization, they are also some of the most reclusive warriors. Failure in the Loki Caste results in the offender’s simple disappearance. Although the mortality rate among the Loki is fairly low, their standing numbers are among the least of the Army’s Castes. This is in part due to the ominous nature of the Caste’s operations and internal procedures, as well as the stringent security checks that all new members must pass.
Loki officers often act as a liaison between a Vizard operational squad and their superiors, acquiring necessary information from Commanders and reporting on the status of the group, for better or worse. Oftentimes it is believed that a Loki soldier is spying on his own teammates, but this usually isn't the case, though rarely does this information prevent distrust from forming against the resident “spy”.
