"The League of 8" or just 8 is a centuries-old criminal organization.
History
Researching with Professor Ludd, Narda stumbles upon clues about an ancient organization of crime. She came across small histories about the 800 years old crime syndicate known as "The League of 8" or just "8". It turns out that 8 has survived until today and is a secret and powerful organization.
Organization
It seems that the various arms of 8 had different organization.
The 1st arm of 8
The ganglord Dan Goon was the local chief of the league of 8. He was controlled by "Octo", the top unit of 8 and their giant computer from a hidden place far away is. "Octo" could send a Q or a X if any of Goon's men failed a mission. For the identification the local members of 8 wearing cuff links with the sign 8, while the X and Q wearing a ring with the sign 8 on their left ringfinger.
It is uncertain whether Goon's local arm was the 1st arm of 8, or if it could have been a minor part of another arm.
The 2nd arm of 8
