Team: Hounds of Justice

After World War One many soldiers went back to their homes unsure of what to do now that the great war was over. Many had went back to countries filled with crime, poverty and corruption. Almost as if planned numerous veterans turned into vigilantes; using the skills they learned in war to hunt down and snuff out those they saw as violators of justice be they petty thief of greedy aristocrat. Often vilified by the government, the authorities had a love/hate relationship with the vigilantes until prominent banker Julius V. Harding was found dismembered in fifty seven pieces in the library of his New York estate. Harding was known to swindle lower class citizens and then pay off judges to avoid criminal charges. After Harding's death many other prominent and wealthy figures were murdered or went missing forcing many world governments to write the "Robin Hood Laws" that outlawed vigilantes. the Robin Hood Laws forced the vigilantes to work closer together in order to avoid persecution which led to the formation of the IAH (International Alliance Of Hounds). Between prohibition and World War Two, the IAH went through many ebbs and flows in both membership and influence and by the end of World War Two they had become the Hounds Of Justice, the spurned crusaders of justice.
