Elliot laughed. "Would you trust the people who have tried to kill you not once but three times and failed. As I understand it he is working contracts for us. Taming beasts that deserved to be tamed, denying us the privilege of killing innocents. However, I do not think his so-called handlers let him maintain his judgements and kill for him after he's done the hard and dirty work of finding his marks. He trust us less than the general populace."
And as he listened he didn't have reassurances to offer, his reign was that of Moscow, and only Moscow. "Moscow is mine once again. Every resource is tied to this house, except a few minor safe houses run by other investors. But the main one, is mine and while my family may not agree, they do not care how it is run as long as it is run and our good name kept from the whispers. I'd need a face to present. One of good repute, to act as my spokes person."
Eliot stood up and walked around to a desk and pulled out several folders. "We have our finger in many things. And know many others. Lists upon lists of would-be gods. Traitorous Atharim who tries to seek refuge in the Ascendancy's mercy. Most of them are dead. But Durante and at least one other are still alive -- too seen to kill."
Eliot sat back down and laid the folders on the table. Not a gift, but not keeping her from reading while in his presence. "I wish that Moscow be free of the ill intent of the Atharim on kindred souls. In otherwords, in order for the Atharim to apprehend a godling child or not, a trial of guild would first need to be had. Not just by the Atharim to keep the Moscovian's happy and the petty politicians. Those found guilty sent to rehabilitation or shall we say the gladiator pits to ear favor and redemption." He grinned at her. "Some too dangerous, well until we have a way to queel them without making them vegetables death is the only option. Sedation is not a permanent solution. It's not logical or cost effective."
"Teaching them is an option. Though that does not seem to be my allies strong suits as of yet."
