Three of the Vendicare Guards
The Vendice, also commonly referred to as Vendicare, are the masked guards who protect the laws of the Mafia World. Those who defy their law are said to be arrested without hesitation and are doomed to spend the rest of their life in an inescapable water prison, known as the Vendicare Prison.
Their reputation among the Mafia World precedes them, as they are known to show no mercy even to devils, it is clear they attract a great deal of fear, as anyone, even Reborn, states that it isn't wise to mess with them.
While the true extent of their powers are unknown, it is known that only three Illusionists in the world have the power to deceive the Vendicare.
The strength of the Vendice is immense, as they had to guard two of the strongest Guardians from high ranking Families, Mukuro Rokudo of the Vongola and Ghost of the Millefiore.
The Vendice also appear to use Rings as one of them used his/her Ring to project an image of Mukuro's profile to Iris.
