Octon is a centuries-old criminal organization, and arch-enemies of Mandrake.

History

Researching with Professor Ludd, Narda stumbles upon clues about an ancient organization of crime and she came across small histories about the 800 years old crime syndicate known as "8", "the 8's liga" or Octon.

Octon are organized like an octopus, with the brain in the middle and local arms who didn't know of each other. The secret league used a computer to decide what to do if a problem turn up, he could send a Q (quizzer) or a X (executioner) if needed.
