Since its creation, the Dark Brotherhood have learned how to survive the worst of crisises, never will it be destoryed, and the Listener will make sure of that, either by internal affair as well of exterior.
We may be Harbingers of Chaos, doesn't mean Chaos will spare us from its machinations, it happened to us once during the Oblivion Crisis with the betrayal of Mathieu Bellamont. We shall learn from this lesson, as well as countless others, to become stronger and more favorable to our Dread Father.
By the word of the Listener himself, the Dark Brotherhood have been organized in this ironic fashion to provide order within our ranks;
Murderer-
Innocence is a lie, anyone can kill, it is apart of our baser, bestial, instinct. It is common misconception that we kill just to kill, part of it is true, but our work is done for business and the calling of Sithis. Our little murderers are but novices to the finer teachings of our work. So, we must teach them.
Black Journeyman-
With blood split and felt, a murderer grows to familiarize himself with the ways of our precious brotherhood as he become more skilled in his contracts and mastering the skills nessecary to be a successful assassin, becoming a Journeyman of the dark arts.
Dark Assassin-
After much training and killing, these potential murderers has finally earned their Blade of Woe as a bloody symbol of their achievement of becoming true assassins of the Dark Brotherhood; ruthless, relentless, their undying loyalty to only the Dark Brotherhood and its Tenets, and have achieved the capability to kill as naturally as breathing.
Executioner-
After proving themselves capable of leading their dark brothers and sisters into assassinations, as well as completing them, these few competent Dark Assassins ascend to the grim rank of Executioner.
Master Assassin-
Those who have mastered the skills of a true assassin gain the grave honor of rising above all others and be sent to perform assassinations of high values that could cripple opponents to no end. They are living icon of terror to the wary public, and more importantly to the enemies of the Dark Brotherhood.
Silencer-
The secret elite of the Dark Brotherhood, the ones known as Silencers are the feared talons of the Black Hand itself. Hand-chosen by the Speakers and the Listener for their unmatched efficiency in their contracts, their loyalty to the Dark Brotherhood, and probably, more importantly, the Speakers' favor to them personally.
The Silencers is each Speakers' own secret assassin, even to know this is to be feared, for not even the majority of their brethern know of their existence, and even more so, it is rumored to they aren't completely bound to the sacred Tenets.
The Speakers-
The four Speakers of the Black Hand are, literally, the four fingers of the figurative symbol of the Dark Brotherhood. They are the most visible power of authority to the family, for they are given important tasks to lead the us to a better future; from issuing contracts with those willing to perform the Black Sacrament, to finding those possessing the potential of joining the brotherhood, and going as far as overseeing their own sanctuaries across Tamriel.
Unlike the rest of our brotherhood, the Black Hand hardly perform contract themselves, unlike it is vital to the brotherhood's survival, but no dare question their word or invoke the wrath of Sithis or their own.
In time, they will regain their full strength, and all will shake in fear of the very thought of the Black Hand.
The Listener-
The Listener, the true voice of the Dark Brotherhood and the opposable thumb of its Black Hand. He is the leader of the brotherhood, his power only below the power of our Unholy Matron and Father. His word is absolute law as he is chosen by the Night Mother herself to hear her eerie words that have saved us without end.
He is far more of a msytery than the Black Hand, but he provides our small brotherhood with a fatherly hand as he lead us out of our current despair.
