Varia Criminale

"Well...The world has too many heroes of light. It needs a heroes of darkness to balance it, right?"

- Nicholas to his friends.

The Varia Criminale is a special independent team led and started by Nicholas D. Amduscias, a descendant of Satan, Heir to Clan of Amduscias, and current contractor of Zahhāk; the Abyssal Archmage Dragon. It is said that they're the strongest, independent elite criminal team of Aussengraht and Oustergraht with both fear and respects.

This team was first thought up after his predecessor, the 1st Head of the Amduscias found the meaning and word behind "Peerage", which it gave him the idea to start his own Peerage since he didn't use his Evil Pieces for at least 20 years.

Nicholas started forming his own team during his travels from Aussengraht & Oustegraht, 2 years before the main series of Highschool DxD (Devil's Rising )began, all the while escaping and avoiding the authorities from Two Worlds for their wanted bounties.

Summary
The members of the Varia Criminale are from different races, with special traits. Some of them were previously affiliated with the Three Faction & Aussengraht's kingdoms & empires, but decided to follow Nicholas's journey through charismatic battles, persuasion, and possible blackmailing by Nicholas. The members only acknowledge Nicholas as their leader and king and would follow any instruction given to them.
