Eight Fingers
An eight-division criminal organization ruling the Re-Estize Kingdom's underworld, infiltrating commoners and nobles alike; after the turmoil in the royal capital it was "baptized" by Nazarick and submitted.
- The name comes from the eight fingers of the "God of Theft," a subordinate god of the Earth God (in the Web novel, from Deevanark, the Evil Deity of depravity and pleasure)
- Eight divisions: narcotics (Hilma), slave trade (Cocco Doll), security ("Battle Demon" Zero and the Six Arms), smuggling, assassination, theft, finance and gambling
- Originally several organizations that merged, the divisions undermine one another; failing to attend the division heads' meeting in the royal capital is treated as betrayal and punished by purge; meetings are chaired by a speaker wearing the Water God's holy symbol
- The drug "Lyra Powder" (black powder) is touted as having no side effects and even flows into the Empire
- During Gehenna the Six Arms were wiped out by Sebas and others, and the division heads were taken to Nazarick for Kyouhukou's baptism
- Thereafter they secretly manipulated the Kingdom under Albedo's direction, and before the Kingdom fell about 1,000 associates moved to a village in the Sorcerer Kingdom
- Known division heads: Hilma of narcotics, Cocco Doll of slavery, Zero of security and Noah Zweden of gambling (Vol. 14); there are also Prian Polson, Orin, Oscars, Endio and others whose divisions are unknown
- The slavery division declined as Renner pushed to abolish the slave trade; the smuggling division was badly hit in Vol. 14, where the great merchant Christopher Olson appears
- Members hiring the organization's own mercenaries must also pay, at higher rates than mercenaries of the same grade, but there's no need to silence them even in crimes, and they will fight to the death covering a retreat — those who flee are killed by the Eight Fingers (Vol. 14)
- First Prince Barbro obtained funds from the narcotics division (Vol. 6); the spread of drugs was also one reason the Theocracy decided to give up on the Kingdom
