Bashmu Deacon

Bashmu Deacon (バシュフム ディーコン bashufumu diikon) is a dark guild aimed at the transcendence of the human race from its weak state. Bashmu Deacon has kidnapped and recruited weak mages and trained them into talented weapons in a short span of time. Though their existence is not very widely known all across Ishgar, they still hold quite the reputation with both the Magic Council and the governments of Fiore, Desertio and Enca. They were created from the ideal that humans were not strong enough to carry on into the future, and that legal mages are not strong enough to do the right thing. Though labelled as a Dark Guild by the Magic Council, Bashmu Deacon do not identify as a dark guild themselves, but rather the only guild doing the right thing. This doesn’t help when they also form alliances with other dark guilds to get to where they want.

With the absence of their true leader, the guild is faced by Advachiel Handa, a loyal mage to the service of the Guild Master who has spread the reputation of the guild's boogeyman methods.
