The Inconnui (pronounced "In-con-new-ee") are a feared group of Vampire Assassins. They are almost never seen, except by their victims, and those people living to tell the tale of their encounters is rarer still. Some think that they are a myth, but others know the truth.

• HISTORY

The true origin of the Inconnui is shrouded in mystery, which is appropriate because Inconnui is a Latin phrase meaning "From the Unknown". They have a reputation as the best Assassins that money can buy, and their prices are often only able to be met by the most powerful rulers and richest merchants. It is said that when targeted by the Inconnui, that it is preferable to kill yourself, or else risk the torments of the dread Assassins.

Aside from their reputation, precious little is truly known about them. It is rumored that they are ruled by an elite cadre of ancient Vampire Lords, who use the Inconnui Assassins as a tool to gain favors and thus power for themselves. They are known to not target powerful Monarchs, but instead to curry their favor in return for their expert services.

Unless contracts given to the Inconnui specifically specify the target to remain alive, presumably to be brought before the client, they are always found dead, and drained off all their blood, often with the look of terror frozen on their lifeless faces.

They rarely get involved with trivial political affairs, but there are exceptions, and if the client is a powerful enough ally for the Inconnui to earn, than no job is too big or small.

In a recent encounter, the Inconnui were hired by the Drow Empire to eliminate an isolated militia in Bitter Coast while the main Imperial forces waged war against the Elven Alliance. One of the Vampires assigned to this mission was the owner of a powerful relic known as the Dagger of Infinite Penetration, which is known to bypass shields and armor.

The Inconnui Assassins were attacked by the Heroes of Bitter Coast during the day while they were weak. The surprise attack gave the Heroes the advantage, and although Bitter Coast sustained heavy loses, all the Inconnui Assassins were slain, and the Dagger of Infinite Penetration was passed to Tylemeth "Thrash" Auldrenthaka.

The Inconnui have not taken further action against Bitter Coast for the loss of it's agents, and with the break-up of the Drow Empire during the battle of Engoku, they most likely don't see any profit in mere revenge. However, the heroes of Bitter Coast should be weary, for the Inconnui will not underestimate them again, should their paths ever cross in the future.
