Misc

Other tidbits of information that do not fit elsewhere...

• They are a matriarchal society, which means they traditionally have a female leader.
• Prior to NiC, Narcissus had primarily drawn from the gay and bodybuilding communities for new members. This proved to be a problem when he was targeted for takeover by Chimera. Though he had numerous followers, they were not skilled at fighting or protection. After NiC he began recruiting members with those skills.
• In CS, Narcissus provided additional security personnel at the Circus for Musette's visit
