Faceless operatives deployed by Count Scarlioni to enforce his schemes with armed intimidation and asset retrieval. Clad in black hats and suits, they act as immediate threat vectors, securing targets through gunpoint before retreating when their weapons are neutralized. Their presence is tactical rather than strategic—they obey orders precisely but lack the initiative to adapt when direct methods fail. Their uneasy confusion in the face of Romana’s bracelet suggests they operate within rigid parameters, unaccustomed to improvisation. The brevity of their appearance underscores their interchangeable nature within Scarlioni’s ruthless hierarchy, where competence is rewarded with elimination once the objective is met.
