History
This group bandits was believed to have been originally formed just a few years before Roger was set to be executed, the first leader. Had been a former world noble and thus he had grown tired of the nobles way of life, thus gathering the 6 most powerful allies he could find. Attacking several nobles and stealing from them, to give back to the slaves. Thus a Robin Hood kind of deal, but whenever leadership had been passed down to Teno from his father. He had completely changed the goal of the group; he somewhere along the way had encountered Koshaku and seeing his powers. A pact was made that teaming up with the bandits, Koshaku would loan out his powers to them and whenever they get devil fruits for themselves they will aid Koshaku in his plans, which are still unknown at this time.

Group Strength
The group is believed to be very powerful, not just from the strength that was given to them by Koshaku. But since they have managed to control several underground crime organizations in several big cities. They seem to have the power to make things happen; Genaro had commented before, that this group was very dangerous. Also Zwei and his group had commented that their abilities made them look like children, thus why they had turned to piracy because of the threat of this group wiping them out. But Teno himself and a few other members of the group have appeared to have special abilities, thus also Teno holding one of the Saijo O Wazamono Grade Swords and he has been feared as one of the best swordsman in the north blue. But it was revealed in their plans, whenever they all get devil fruits they will become a near unstoppable force.
