While their official beginnings date back to the prohibition era of the United States, the actual roots of the Sinners occurred an entire generation before in the late 1800s. Operating as a shadowy organization - specializing largely in information and blackmail - their exact model of operation is largely misunderstood in the modern day. In fact, its largely believed that the Sinners have disbanded entirely, but the truth is that the Devil doesn't sleep.
Nor do her demons.

His tail was thumping the ground, much like a canine that was barely containing its excitement after being told to stay.
“Papa said you play game though!” He shifted on his claws, tilting his head. “Was… card? Card play? Teach?”
The smaller of the two moved up, bumping his body against the larger and using his snout to push his head down a bit. “Being rude. Introduce first!” The smaller chided his twin, before looking at Tyki. “Am Ozzie. This Sylas. No have to play. Can do something else? Like… how get fur shiny like uncle's hair?”
"Should I be concerned that you know so much about this?" { Sylas }

“ Uh... you might wanna be a little more specific than that, Sy-beam. I mean, for what it’s worth, I happen to know a lot of questionable things. Mind sharing which you’re talking about? ”
