The Antagonists: Armand's Operation

[Pictures Soon]
At this point the heroes have already been acquainted with Armand's forces and a general outline of his organization is beginning to emerge: a specialised team for acquiring information about supernatural occurances, sometimes through force, and using this knowledge to 'harverst' whatever spiritual force is hidden behind the case.
Armand's Petty Thugs are his street-level handlers. They break into apartments, intimidate defenseless citizens who may have information, and do most of the errands and the bullying. They look just line any other mafia's thugs; however, Armand has them equiped with lesser wards of protection, pouches of fire spells, and specially-inscribed bullets with magic runes on them, to give them an extra bit over the 'mundane' gangsters.
The Scribes are the nerds who sit at the desk all day and decypher, translate, and cross-reference the information about the target artefact or spirit. Using hi-tech computer systems (for hacking into databanks) and the good old whiteboard with markers, their job is to research for any information which might better guide the rest of the team. They are weaklings but know a spell or two for their own and their work's protection, since they are in fact people who aspire to become Armand's desciples.
The intelligent and ambitious enough of these become Investigators. These 'detectives' serve as operation leaders most of the time, and spend their time giving orders to the units and organising them. They are also responsible for the more delicate situations such as extracting information from people who might resist or who they shouldn't be alerted (like the Forget Me spell used in the Sixth Chakra). Their spectrum of spells also coveres basic confrontation with spirits.
Topping it all off are the Undying Marshals. It isn't quite clear what these things are; are they undead bodies or living men with extremely supernatual powers? Some say they are the product of a ritual performed by Armand, given as a promotion to excelled thugs or not so excelled Investigators (who normally aspire to be Disciples). At any rate, these are Armand's strongest troops, armed with Staves of Blasting and almost impervious to damage. They never show their face or skin, wearing a swat team night gear at all times, blinking with their goggles' green light.
We'll leave the discussion about the Disciples and Armand's other forces for another time. Of course, there is also Armand himself...
