#look at them they're the faithless assassins guild now

[maegalkarven]

And yeah, it might look strange what Bhaal allowed Nemo just bring all these children in and make them into prodigal murderers.

But also it really doesn't if you consider what at the moment of Nemo's birth the Church of Bhaal is practically unexistent.

Sarevok literally has to start from the scratch.

Half of the first unholy assassins die in a fight with Flaming Fists because they're not property trained and act reckless.

But then Nemo grows up and starts contributing. A lot.

He brings a child in and for some reason father Bhaal doesn't mind. This is...strange, but whatever works, right?

Some disease kills several unholy assassins and Nemo goes to investigate. He returns with more people to train and mold into assassins.

Some child almost burns half of the town. This is useful. At this point Sarevok, who watches young Clotilda surpass Orin on some occasions, doesn't mind.

Meanwhile the amount of unholy assassins joining the traditional way is scarce and they need to be very careful and very patient to not bring the attention of the authorities. Sarevok learned the lesson of being arrogant, he won't be repeating the same mistake twice.

Nemo starts a plot to recruit urchins and it works. He seems to really have a knack on finding assassins who will be loyal till the end. This is smart. The power of the cult grows.

The clash with the smugglers guild leaves them with their numbers thinning out, BUT the children Nemo brought are growing up and passing the rites with honors. They're more efficient than other assassins, they work together better, they make less mistakes.

It repeats two more times with three more recruits, and every single of them is an exemplary future murderer. So much promise in them.

By the year of 1491 DR Nemo creates a strong backbone of the cult; unbreakable, unshakable. Perfect.
