The Bloody Barbers is the largest thieves' guild operating in the city of Absalom.1 The group does not operate in the Ascendant Court district, where thieves are better off having their activities approved by the clerics at the Black Mask.2

Controlling a significant portion of Absalom's money lending and fencing activities, the Barbers eliminate their enemies by cutting throats—an activity they call a "crimson shave".3 Bloody Barbers often employ a special war razor, termed a final word, for performing crimson shaves.4
