It's reported that family members were made to face one another and stabbed multiple times, with their heads severed while they were still alive. Several years prior to the 287th Hunter Exam, the Phantom Troupe approached the Kurta Clan for their valuable Scarlet Eyes and massacred all 128 villagers. The coin used is custom-made, with the heads side sporting the group's signature twelve-legged spider and the tails side depicting a spider's web. However, disputes solved by the coin are only between two individuals. Since no member outranks another, if a clash of opinions cannot be solved through discussion, coin tossing is used to settle the quarrel. Serious fights are prohibited among Phantom Troupe members. Cleanup (処理部隊, "Disposing Squad"): Members in charge of removing the evidence of the group's criminal activity.Recon (情報, "Intelligence"): Members in charge of information gathering.Formerly held by Nobunaga and Uvogin currently held by Nobunaga, Phinks, and Feitan. One of their main responsibilities involves protecting the recon and cleanup groups. Commando Team (特攻 or 実行部隊, "Vanguard/Attack Squad" or "Execution Squad"): Volunteers for this unit are frontline fighters.This position was granted to whoever killed Zazan first. Acting Leader (団長代理, "Leader Substitute"): The interim leader of the Troupe when the leader is absent.Boss (団長, "Leader"): The leader of the Phantom Troupe.Phantom Troupe members are assigned to or volunteer for certain activities in the group based on their aptitude. It has been noted that two members are always by the leader’s side when the Troupe gathers together, but it is unknown whether this is an official rule. Although some members believe buying and bidding to be against the ways of the group, others have no qualms about resorting to legal, non-violent channels and transactions, with at least two of them becoming Hunters for the associated benefits. Other than following their leader’s orders and not fighting amongst themselves, members are not expected to follow any specific procedures. Defeating a current member is a viable way to replace them, which may not be subject to the leader’s approval. Only the leader has the authority to add new members, although they can recommend candidates they deem suitable. Skipping a mandatory meeting could result in a member being punished. The Troupe does not assemble frequently but gathers at the leader’s request, which can be discretionary or mandatory. In Chrollo's case, however, several members had become so reliant on him that they prioritized his life over the group’s survival. The members are expected to always adhere to the governing principle that the prosperity of the group as a whole trumps the survival of any one of its individuals, including the leader himself. The "head" is the leader, whose orders are to be of the utmost priority however, their life is not, since even the leader can be replaced. All the "legs" are equal in ranking and decision-making power, and tasks are assigned based on each member's individual skills or preferences. Mirroring the metaphorical representation of the group as a twelve-legged spider, the Phantom Troupe is ideally composed of thirteen members in total, one "head" and twelve "legs". Abengane: hired to remove Kurapika’s Judgment Chain from Chrollo's heart.Hisoka Morow: hired to negotiate with a Nen exorcist to remove Kurapika's Judgment Chain from Chrollo’s heart.Illumi Zoldyck: hired to kill the Mafia's Ten Dons.The Phantom Troupe occasionally hires outside assistance during their missions. While Chrollo organized a massacre against the Mafia as revenge for one of their deceased members, Machi speculated that he might ask the killer to join the group. ĭespite their close ties to one another, they will allow those who have killed their members to join. However, they were responsible for ruining the ideal partnership with the Mafia and are considered outliers even by the city’s standards. They are also a major asset in the defense of Meteor City, as shown when they defeated Zazan and her group of Chimera Ants. Among their crimes is the massacre of the Kurta Clan and the stealing of their Scarlet Eyes. After the leader revels in the group’s spoils, he sells everything. Īlthough they occasionally do philanthropic work, the Troupe mainly steals and kills. Other vacancies are filled by the group’s leader, and members can offer nominations. Those wishing to join the group can do so by killing a current member, thereby replacing them. Each member has a numbered tattoo of a twelve-legged spider on their body. The Phantom Troupe around the time of the Kurta Clan massacreĭuring their mission in Yorknew City, the group consisted of thirteen members, but it currently has only ten.
