This mystic clan studied the ways of [[demon]]s and had catalogued their lore for generations.
During the [[Mage Clan Wars]], the Vizjerei used clans of the [[Umbaru]] people of the [[Torajan]] jungles in the [[Teganze]] region to brutally turn them into [[goatmen]] beasts to fight their battles for them. The close [[Umbaru]] clans then started a war against the mage clan, resulting in decades of fighting. After many long years of warring, they captured a Vizjerei mage, helped them control their transformed brethren and turned into goatmen themselves.
Horazon perverted the clan to his own will through the knowledge in their libraries, and his ability to summon and bend demons to his will. Bartuc was eventually lured to the side of [[Darkness]]. He was granted exceptional strength and longevity, and fought alongside the legions of Hell against the cursed Vizjerei, and eventually his own brother during the Sin War. While the clan was not bent towards [[Hell]]'s forces, Horazon had corrupted it.
The [[Order of Mage Slayers]] (also known as [[Assassin]]s) was formed after the Vizjerei survived the tragedy brought on by [[Bartuc]] and [[Horazon]]. Their purpose was to watch for rogue magi that may become corrupted by the forces of Evil. To be effective at this task they were trained in abilities that were not conducive to Demonic corruption. Living as rumour and myth to the general population, even other magi knew very little about this mysterious order. Their reputation was shrouded in mystery and the simple fear of their retribution almost ensured steadfast vigilance against corruption amongst those who knew they were real.
