}}The '''Slaughterhouse Nine''', often simply called '''the Nine''', were a rotating group of nine supervillains who roamed North America. The group was founded by [[King]], but was quickly taken over by [[Jack Slash]], who killed King with the aid of [[Harbinger]] in 1987.<ref name="21.x">“Jack,” Jacob said.  He kicked King’s body again.  “Fuck it.  He always called me Jacob, practically <em>purring</em>. 
His little killer in training.  As if I could match up to his Gray Boy.  I want to be more than that.  Get out from under his shadow.” - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/04/27/interlude-21-donation-bonus-1/ Excerpt] from  [[Interlude 21.x]]</ref>

Male. The leader of the group. Has the ability to extend the effective cutting edge of held knives and blades to horrendous distance, while maintaining a consistent cutting power. Using this ability, he can cut through crowds or slice an enemy’s throat at any range.
==History==
===Background===
The Slaughterhouse Nine was originally founded by King. In 1987, Jack Slash and Harbinger managed to kill King, allowing Jack Slash to take command of the group. Following King’s death, Harbinger retired from the Nine.


He has dark hair, a styled beard and moustache. According to [[Taylor]] he is "good looking", "he had kind of a Johnny Depp look to him, though he had more of a widow’s peak, a longer face and lighter eyes"
At some point in the late 1990s, the Nine came to [[Brockton Bay]] and interrupted a meeting between [[Empire Eighty-Eight]], [[Marquis]], and the Teeth. Jack provoked a bidding war for the Nine’s services, which [[the Teeth]] won. The Nine carried out the Teeth’s request to attack the [[Protectorate]], then turned on the Teeth and drove them out of Brockton Bay.<ref>“Years ago.  Allfather still ruled Empire Eighty-Eight then.  They held a big meeting between all of the factions.  We stopped by.  Great fun.  I don’t think they accomplished a thing that day.  We provoked a bidding war instead.  Group called the Teeth wound up hiring us to kill some members of the Protectorate team.  We did it, and then we wiped out the Teeth before leaving the city.”<br><br>The Slaughterhouse Nine must have been new, then.  People today would know better.  Hopefully. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/17 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 11b]]</ref>


[[Dinah Alcott]] predicts that Jack Slash will set the end of the world into motion in the next two or eight years<ref name="10.6" />. If he is killed before he leaves [[Brockton Bay]] this disaster will occur in fifteen years.
They were known to frequent areas previously visited by the [[Endbringers]],<ref>“The Slaughterhouse Nine,” Clockblocker leaned back in his seat, groaning, “Fuck, that’d be all we needed.”<br><br>“Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve arrived at a location in the wake of an Endbringer event,” Flechette pointed out. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/04/14 Excerpt] from [[Sentinel 9.4]]</ref> to take advantage of the chaos.


He brings about the end of the world by accidentally convincing [[Scion]] to turn evil, after a large battle with the heroes where he is betrayed by [[Gray Boy]] and trapped in his power. A member of the [[Dragon's Teeth]] then covers him in [[Containment Foam]].
===[[Brockton Bay]]===
The Slaughterhouse Nine arrived in Brockton Bay for a second time in early June of 2011.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/05/17/interlude-10-5-bonus/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 10.5]]</ref> They initially split up in order to recruit each of their chosen individuals as candidates for membership, scouting out these candidates for several days and speaking to them on June 7th and 8th.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/26/plague-12-1/ Excerpt] from [[Plague 12.1]]</ref> Their arrival prompted the heroes and villains of Brockton Bay to meet in order to discuss how to combat the Nine.


His weakness is non-capes, as his [[Shard]] is the 'Communications Shard', which lets him subconsciously manipulate capes, and stops him ever being surprised by them, among other things.
During this time, [[Cauldron]] also sent [[Battery]] a note telling her to let [[Siberian]] and [[Shatterbird]] escape the city alive.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/26 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 12.5]]</ref> <ref>Well, to be clear, Cauldron wanted Shatterbird and Siberian to leave the city, not necessarily Jack. - [https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/01/05/monarch-16-13/#comment-8710 Comment] by Wildbow on [[Monarch 16.13]]</ref>


===Bonesaw===
After the [[Undersiders]] were forced to leave the meeting, the Slaughterhouse Nine confronted them in a parking garage. Jack Slash told them that each candidate would be tested by every member of the Nine in turn, ending in Jack Slash; failure of a test would lead to death or worse.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/07/plague-12-4/ Excerpt] from [[Plague 12.4]]</ref> During this confrontation, [[Tattletale]] revealed that [[Cherish]] was plotting to take control of the Slaughterhouse Nine, something Jack Slash and [[Bonesaw]] had already countered. Jack Slash injured Tattletale for revealing this information. After this, Tattletale proposed a game to Jack Slash: if more than half of the candidates survived the tests, the Nine would only take the voluntary recruits with them and leave the remaining survivors.  
Female. Civilian name Riley. If Jack Slash is the leader, Bonesaw is the figurehead of the group. A child tinker with a specialty in medicine and biology. She has used this ability to create monstrous minions, often combining two capes into one, maintaining a portion of each's powers. She views herself as an artist, her creations as art. In her dialogue with [[Panacea]] in [[Interlude 11.h]], Bonesaw professes to be rather knowledgeable about where powers come from and how they work, and this is later revealed to be due to her countless medical experiments on both captured capes and civilians.


Bonesaw's power has allowed her to extensively modify the internal biology of the other members of the Nine, which leaves herself and her team-mates extremely durable. Over the course of the story, she loses an eye, both arms, and is bisected horizontally - she survived each of these and later reconstituted herself using 'spare parts'. She can also use this to exert control over those she has operated on - she controls her 'artworks' and presumably Hookwolf in this fashion, while later puppeteering Blasto by wiring her spinal column into his nervous system.  
Shatterbird sang thirty minutes after this confrontation. Following this in quick succession, [[Mannequin]] attacked Skitter’s territory and was driven off by her, and the Slaughterhouse Nine killed all the [[Merchants]] except for [[Scrub]], who could harm [[Crawler]].<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/07/24 Excerpt] from [[Interlude 12]]</ref>


Bonesaw was recruited by Jack, who mutilated her family and forced her to rush around her house repairing the damage that he would do to each family member whenever she was not in the room. When she gave up, her mother's last words to her were "Be a good girl." Bonesaw resolved to do as Jack said and play the role of a well-behaved assistant  to Jack, resulting in her involvement with the Slaughterhouse Nine.
Jack delivered the finalized rules of the game the next morning, giving each member of the Nine a time limit to administer their tests and prohibiting individuals who were not Brockton Bay residents from interfering. The Nine’s rules stated that they would win if they managed to kill five of the six candidates.


===Shatterbird===
In between the game’s beginning and the first attack, [[Imp]] infiltrated the Slaughterhouse Nine and failed to kill Bonesaw. She instead struck a deal with Cherish.
Female. Dark-haired and brown-skinned.


Shatterbird usually uses her power as the Nine arrive in a city to maximize panic, damage and terror. Shatterbird is a silicakinetic with the ability to manipulate glass and cause it to shatter explosively across a wide area. She describes herself as a scholar.
Mannequin was the first to take part, attacking [[Skitter]] once more. He was driven off by the Undersiders and saved by [[Burnscar]], forfeiting his turn. The Nine were then ambushed by [[the Travelers]] and the Undersiders, who captured Shatterbird and Cherish. In the same confrontation, [[Grue]] was captured by the Nine and later tortured by Bonesaw. The Nine captured Skitter, Tattletale, Imp, Trickster, [[Sundancer]], and [[Ballistic]] when they attempted to rescue Grue. Bonesaw began to torture them but was blindsided by [[Parian]]. Grue underwent a [[second trigger]], killing Burnscar and freeing his allies.


When she 'screams' in [[Brockton Bay]], her power affects all the glass in her range and also hits all the silicon chips in computers and phones, as well as the sand on the beaches. She attempts to recruit Hookwolf to the Slaughterhouse Nine based on his personal strength, but is defeated before she can see him join the team.  
The Nine and the collective Parahumans of Brockton Bay continued to clash, ultimately resulting in Bonesaw releasing a plague causing agnosia so that none of the defending parahumans could recognize each other. [[Panacea]] cured the plague, but the Nine managed to escape, recruiting [[Hookwolf]] and leaving behind a modified Cherish on the bottom of the Bay as punishment.


She is taken over by [[Regent]] after [[the Undersiders]] attack the Slaughterhouse Nine to get [[Grue]] back. He keeps her until [[Echidna]] attacks, at which point she is subsumed and then, after [[Sundancer]] kills Echidna, [[Vista]] kills Shatterbird as mentioned in a later conversation between [[the Wards]].
===After Brockton Bay===
Following their escape from Brockton Bay, the Slaughterhouse Nine visited several towns, including Stafford and Enfield in Connecticut, in order to recruit new capes to bolster their ranks.  One of these capes was [[Damsel of Distress]]. Additionally, Hookwolf participated in his first massacre with the Nine in one of these towns, helping Jack Slash and Siberian murder hundreds of people at a rural hospital. Bonesaw kidnapped [[Blasto]] from his new base in [[Boston]], although the Siberian was killed in a skirmish with [[Dragon]] and [[Defiant]]. The Nine proceeded to invade [[Toybox]] in order to use their technology. They set up a pocket dimension in a small town and Bonesaw placed the rest of the Nine in stasis while she began to clone their members, both past and present.


===Crawler===
[[Contessa]] intercepted Bonesaw when she left the pocket dimension to get groceries and told Bonesaw to implant a control switch into the clones and give the switch to her at a later date. Bonesaw denied that she would do it, but over the course of the next year and a half, she came to change her mind.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/16/interlude-25/ Excerpt] from [[Interlude 25]]</ref> She turned the switch over to Cauldron in June of 2013 following an interrogation by Tattletale.<ref>[https://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/17/extinction-27-2/ Excerpt] from [[Extinction 27.2]]</ref>
[[File:Crawler_from_worm_by_scarfgirl-d5au7x7.jpg|thumb|[[Crawler]] fanart by [http://scarfgirl.deviantart.com/#/d5au7x7 Scarfgirl].]]


Male. Civilian name Ned. [[Brute]]. An inhuman monster.
===Slaughterhouse 9000===
{{Main|The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand}}


In Crawler's case the phrase "What doesn't kill you makes you stronger" is literally true. Every time he is hurt his body adapts, rendering him more resistant to whatever hurt him or giving him other capabilities or features. He regenerates very quickly and the advantages gleaned from any such regeneration are permanent, making him look less and less human.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/21/interlude-11f/ Interlude 11f]</ref>
The Slaughterhouse Nine, bolstered by their clones, began their killing spree in the small town of Killington, setting traps and bodies in a spiral outwards from a message in the town hall. One [[Nice Guy]] was left behind to ambush the investigation team, which was made up of the [[Red Hand]], the Undersiders, Weaver, and [[Golem]]. The Nice Guy was killed by Imp. Jack Slash also left a message for Golem, telling him that he didn’t meet his deadline. In spite of this, Jack Slash gave Golem another chance to kill him, without help. The deadline for this was set for five days away on the 24th at noon. Following this, multiple teams of Parahumans worked together in order to chase down the remaining clones and kill them.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/18/sting-26-1/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.1]]</ref> 


Crawler intentionally submits himself to suicidal situations so he can become even stronger. He has been doing it for some time now, and Jack Slash believes it to be his main motivation for joining the Nine; since the Slaughterhouse Nine have a kill order against them, it provides Crawler with stronger and stronger opponents.
Jack Slash then went to Ellisburg in order to recruit [[Nilbog]] and his minions. Weaver and Golem attempted to convince Nilbog not to join, but Nilbog attacked, resulting in Weaver grievously wounding him. His monsters, in revolt, join with Jack, who escapes with Nilbog’s body.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/07/27/sting-26-4/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.4]]</ref>


Crawler appears indifferent towards the fellow members of the Nine, being concerned only with his own strength. He was not interested in coming up with a trial when Cherish joined the team, declaring her to have passed his trial by killing Hatchet Face. He selected Noelle as his potential recruit, solely because of her power.  
The Slaughterhouse Nine were then pursued into their pocket dimension. The Nine having taken [[Aster]], Weaver killed her along with a Cherish and a Screamer in case Aster’s power was what sparked the end of the world. The rest of the Nine escaped the pocket dimension.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/03/sting-26-6/ Excerpt] from [[Sting 26.6]]</ref>


Crawler is killed by a bombing run orchestrated by the PRT using Bakuda's confiscated weaponry, which turns his body to glass, leaving him unable to regenerate.  
Golem and Weaver’s group pursued them to [[Los Angeles]], which had been warped by [[Bohu]]. They confronted Jack, Gray Boy, the remaining Siberian, and other various members of the Slaughterhouse Nine Thousand.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/06/interlude-26a/ Interlude 26.a]</ref>


===Mannequin===
After observing how Jack seemed to be aware of everything around him, Golem ordered a PRT trooper to attack Jack, successfully distracting him for a few seconds. Sensing weakness, Grey Boy looped Jack before being killed by Foil. Jack was buried in containment foam.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/08/interlude-26b/ Interlude 26.b]</ref>  
Used to be a man named Alan Gramme, codename Sphere. As a [[Tinker]] with a specialty in [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biomes biomes], [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Terraforming terraforming] and [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ecosystems ecosystems], he was working in projects to build self sustaining biospheres on the moon, solve world hunger and build aquatic cities near cities plagued by overcrowding. These projects were interrupted when [[The Simurgh]] attacked one of the sites and killed his wife and children, simultaneously destroying his projects. He went mad and began modifying his own body to isolate himself from the world.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/19/interlude-11d/ Interlude 11d]</ref>


Now he stands nine feet tall and has replaced all of his joints with either a doll’s ball joints or lengths of chains. His entire body is encased in a special ceramic shell, with no openings or perforations.
Despite being trapped, Jack was able to talk to Scion about his views on predation and cruelty. Scion broke Gray Boy’s loop and then went on to destroy the United Kingdom, beginning Gold Morning.<ref>[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2013/08/10/interlude-26/ Interlude 26.x]</ref> <!--

-->


After modifying his body he become a [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer serial killer], with an emphasis on targeting individuals, predominantly [[tinkers]] and [[rogues]] who seek to better the world with their powers. Bonesaw mentions that Mannequin had the potential to become a long-term member of the Nine (a distinction she otherwise reserves for Jack Slash, herself, and Siberian).

Mannequin chooses Armsmaster as his potential recruit for the Slaughterhouse Nine, but fails to successfully recruit him. During the Nine's stint in Brockton Bay he attacks Skitter's territory, killing several bystanders before Skitter drives him off. Mannequin is punished by Jack for losing this fight by forfeiting one day of his recruitment trial.
==Trivia==
*The Slaughterhouse Nine were the focus of Worm's [[Infestation|one year anniversary bonus]], a series of eight interludes released over the course of a week. Each update, for the most part, centered around the 'Nine' and their meetings with various candidates in Brockton Bay.
*Jack Slash and Harbinger were no older than 12 when they killed King.<ref>https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/4279862/</ref>


Mannequin is ultimately killed by a PRT bombing run using Bakuda's repurposed technology - the resulting explosion turns him to glass.

===The Siberian===
{{Reflist}}
[[File:The Siberian.jpg|thumb|359x359px|[http://parahumans.wikia.com/wiki/Slaughterhouse_Nine The Siberian] fanart by [http://m4nn3quin.deviantart.com/ M4NN3QUIN] .]]
Female. A recurring nemesis of the [[Triumvirate]], the Siberian’s skin is striped with black and white, leaving her nationality uncertain. [[Hookwolf]] notes that she is untouchable, immovable, invincible in a way that even [[Alexandria]] isn't. She also displays greatly enhanced strength, agility and/or speed, with the ability to scale a building in a very short span of time.


Rumor has it that the Siberian doesn't talk, but her dialogue with [[Bitch]] suggests differently. Her parting words to [[Bitch]] inform the girl that the rumor persists because everyone else who has heard the Siberian talk has died.

Siberian attempts to recruit [[Bitch]] as a possible ninth member of the team in [[Interlude 11a]].
{{S-Class Threats Navibox}}
 
The Siberian is a projection of Dr. Manton, appearing shortly after Manton lost his child, who looked remarkably similar to Siberian (despite the black and white stripped skin). While Siberian is indestructable, Manton is quite frail and possesses no powers besides his ability to project the Siberian. Whether Siberian has control of Manton or Manton has control of Siberian is unclear. Manton moves from town to town with the Slaughterhouse Nine, relying on his Siberian to keep him safe.
 
She is killed by [[Dragon]] after Dragon and [[Defiant]] chase and fight the Slaughterhouse Nine. After Bonesaw clones the group multiple times each, [[Clockblocker]] manages to destroy the Siberian by getting her to run into a thread he froze in time. [[Foil]] also manages to destroy her by shooting her with a crossbow bolt she has affected. In each case, the projection is removed and Dr. Manton can replace her.
 
===Burnscar===
Female. Civilian name Mimi. An older teenager or a young-looking twenty-something. Dark hair. She is a [[Blaster]] and a [[Mover]], a pyrokinetic with the ability to teleport betwen flames. Much like [[Labyrinth]], Burnscar has a psychological drawback to her power; the chemical balances in her brain are adjusted whenever her power is in use, and she effectively becomes a sociopath, with no ability to empathize with others and a dampened mental state.
 
She used to be interred in the same [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Psychiatric_hospital mental asylum] as [[Labyrinth]]. Mimi thought they were friends, when the truth was that doctors used social time with [[Labyrinth|Elle]] as an enticement to get her to cooperate. They escaped the asylum on the same day, with [[Labyrinth|Elle]] escaping with [[Faultline’s Crew]] and Mimi presumably taking advantage of the chaos to slip away. Mimi found herself alone with nowhere to go, and ended up with a man that tried to take advantage of her and prostitute her. She tried to scare him off but the drawback of her power led to her getting carried away and burning him to death.<ref name="I11c">[http://parahumans.wordpress.com/2012/06/18/interlude-11c/ Interlude 11c]</ref>
 
Several weeks after that, while she was still on a spree, Shatterbird recruited her for the Slaughterhouse Nine. <ref name="I11c" />
 
Burnscar does not select a recruit for the Nine during their visit Brockton Bay. She is only seen laying out her challenge to Bitch - to kill Skitter and the Undersiders, but this is never completed. She is ultimately killed by Grue, who kills her upon undergoing his second trigger event by copying the Siberian's power and using a projection to beat her to death.
 
===Hatchet Face===
Male. A new recruit, described as an ugly man that has been beaten, burned and just plain abused so often that his face was as much scar tissue than flesh. He has general [[brute]] capabilities and interferes with the powers of any capes within a certain range of him. Because of his ability to remove powers, he is described as a 'bogeyman' of the superpowered world.
 
He was defeated by [[Cherish]] to get into the Nine. He has been rechristened Hack Job, and is now an abomination made by [[Bonesaw]], physically melded with [[Oni Lee]] in a kind of artificial siamese twinship. The resulting monster has [[Oni Lee]]'s teleportation ability and a lesser version of Hatchet Face's ability to block powers. Both are still aware, but are fully in [[Bonesaw]]'s thrall.
 
===Cherish===
Female. The newest member of the Nine. She can sense emotions over a massive range and use them to find people. She can also alter people's emotions, but the effects are only short term and her victims build up a resistance after being exposed to her power.
 
Cherish is [[Heartbreaker]]'s daughter and [[Regent]]'s sister and she joined the Nine to force her other brothers to stop pursuing her and to stave off her boredom. She later selects Regent as her recruit for the Nine, intending for him to die during a trial rather than join the Nine. She has plans to use her power on the other members of the Slaughterhouse Nine and force an emotional dependency on her, to the point that she can control them.
 
She is given longevity and trapped in a small coffin at the bottom of Brockton Bay with her power's filters removed, so she feels all the sadness in the area, as Bonesaw's revenge. She is later tricked into killing [[Butcher 14]], as her power lets her affect the emotions of anyone within a certain range of her.
 
===Hookwolf===
 
Male. A former member of [[Empire 88]], his muscles consist of metal hooks and knives that he can expand outwards, encasing himself in a ball of moving blades. He is very hard to injure in this state.
 
He was recruited from Brockton Bay at the end of Jack's 'test'. Bonesaw controlled him after giving him extensive brain surgery.
 
==Deceased/Former Members==
 
===King===
Male. The founder and leader of the original Slaughterhouse Nine. Large and muscular, he had superhuman strength and a form of conditional invulnerability where he automatically and instantaneously transferred any injuries he should have received to the bodies of everyone he had touched in the preceding 24 hours. Killed by a team-up between the young Jack Slash and Harbinger.
 
===Harbinger===
Male. A teenager with functionally infallible CQC skills and broader undetermined Thinker talents. Close friends with Jack Slash. Playing along with Jack in their murder game, along with making a name for himself, was the primary reason Harbinger had for staying with the Nine. He mysteriouly disappeared from the Nine shortly after he and Jack assassinated King and has not been seen since. Currently works for Cauldron as the [[Number Man]]. 
 
===Gray Boy===
Male. Shaker. Case 53. Appeared to be a barely-pubescent young boy wearing a school uniform. His body and clothes were in black-and-white. Has the ability to create customized (and permanent) time-loops targeted on spatial locations in such a way that, while the bodies of anyone caught within are repeatedly looped, their minds retain continuity of consciousness. The defensive application was automatic and constant, reverting his body to an unharmed state whenever he is killed, injured or even so much as dirtied while his mind retains continuity of consciousness. Disappeared under mysterious circumstances before the beginning of canon. Later, it is revealed that he was taken by [[Glaistig Uaine]].
 
When the past members of the Slaughterhouse Nine are cloned, Jack Slash asks Bonesaw to only make one clone of Gray Boy because of the unspoken reason that Jack can't control more than one. He later goes on to show why, betraying Jack in the middle of a large fight against a conglomerate of heroes and villains and indirectly leading to the end of the world.
 
Gray Boy's clone goes on to trap Purity and Crusader in an endless loop. However, when the battle turns against Jack, he places him in an endless loop and disembowels him. He is killed almost immediately afterwards when Foil (who used her sense of perfect timing to accurately imitate being looped) killed him with a dart empowered with her ability, which counteracted Gray Boy's power.
 
===Chuckles===
Male. A tall obese pear-shaped man whose face was tattooed to resemble clown makeup. A speedster, his brain and legs operated at inhumanly fast speeds while his arms and chest possess superstrength. However, due to the fact his superspeed was permanently switched on and had been so since his trigger event, he perceived the world in perpetual slow motion and was incapable of normal communication. He managed to teach himself to make a sound similar to laughter, hence the name.
 
===Screamer===
Female. Had the ability to perceive and finely manipulate all sound within a mile radius of her location, letting her do, among other things, perfect duplications of enemy radio chatter/voices and project unending screams into their eardrums. Used it for team communications, surveillance and psy-ops against heroes.
 
===Winter===
Female. White-haired, with white irises edged in black. A former child-soldier, mercenary and arms dealer. Her power generated a wide area effect that sapped heat from the environment, kinetic energy from moving objects and volition from biological life forms. Favored guns and grenade launchers. Was lovers with Crimson.
 
===Crimson===
Male. Had the power to grow into a super-strong super-durable state after drinking human blood. Wielded an enormous sword. Was lovers with Winter.
 
===Breed===
Male. Created monsters that serially infested and fed on human bodies, growing in size and lethality with every corpse over the course of their life-cycle. Killed when an unnamed hero called in an incendiary missile strike on his location.
 
===Murder Rat===
Female. Created by Bonesaw via fusion of a villain named [[Ravager]] and a hero named [[Mouse Protector]]. Possessed enhanced agility, enhanced reflexes, enhanced flexibility, enhanced strength, foot-long razor-claws, the ability to inflict unhealing wounds and the ability to teleport to any wound she inflicted.
 
===Nyx===
Female. A Case-53 with red skin, black eyes and vents along her hairline and arms. Had the power to sculpt seamless illusions from a poisonous gas emitted from said vents. Breaking the illusions by physical force resulted in the gas being released indiscriminately.
 
===Nice Guy===
Male. A Stranger with the power to make people think of him as a perfectly harmless bystander no matter what murderous action he might be taking.
 
===Skinslip===
Male. A minor regenerator with a changer ability, allowing him to manipulate his own skin. Skinslip’s skin can act like a grappling hook, allowing him to climb, and it can help break falls. He can also smother and bludgeon his opponents with it. Can extend his ability by flaying people and crudely stitching or stapling their skin to his own. Regeneration connects the tissues and extends his power’s breadth and reach, but it doesn't prevent all rejection or decay, forcing him to replenish it from time to time.
 
===Miasma===
Male. A stranger, invisible and undetectable but for an odorless gas he gives off that wears away at other’s minds, causing headaches, ringing in the ears, watery eyes and eventual blindness, memory loss and coma.
 
===Psychosoma===
Male. Stranger four, master seven. Tall, bald and narrow, with pencil-thin mustache and beard, spidery fingers. Had the power to transform people into monsters. Carefully calibrated damage would revert them back to their human selves albeit at the risk of being promptly slaughtered by any of his victims who had not yet reverted.
 
==About Serial Killers And Parahumans==
A [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Serial_killer serial killer] is typically defined as an individual who has killed three or more people over a period of more than a month, with down time (a "cooling off period") between the murders, and whose motivation for killing is usually based on psychological gratification. The motives of serial killers are generally placed into four categories: visionary (believing they are another person or are compelled to murder by entities such as the Devil or God), mission-oriented ( justifying their acts as "ridding the world" of a certain type of person perceived as undesirable), hedonistic (they feel pleasure from killing.This pleasure can come from lust, thrill and/or profit) and power or control (to gain and exert power over their victim).
 
The majority of reported and investigated serial killers in the USA are white males, from a lower-to-middle-class background, usually in their late twenties to early thirties. But according to the FBI, and based on percentages of the U.S. population, whites are not more likely than other races to be serial killers.
 
The reason behind someone becoming a serial killer ([http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nature_versus_nurture nature or nurture]) is still open to debate. But empirical research shows that most of them share some characteristic like having been [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bullying bullied] as children or abused (emotionally, physically and/or sexually) by a family member. These two episodes in particular can lead to a [[trigger event]] which explains why there are so many [[parahuman]] serial killers.

The group was founded by King, but was quickly taken over by Jack Slash, who killed King with the aid of Harbinger in 1987.<ref name="21.x">“Jack,” Jacob said.  He kicked King’s body again.  “Fuck it.  He always called me Jacob, practically purring.  His little killer in training.  As if I could match up to his Gray Boy.  I want to be more than that.  Get out from under his shadow.” - Excerpt from Interlude 21.x</ref>

History[edit]

Background[edit]

The Slaughterhouse Nine was originally founded by King. In 1987, Jack Slash and Harbinger managed to kill King, allowing Jack Slash to take command of the group. Following King’s death, Harbinger retired from the Nine.

At some point in the late 1990s, the Nine came to Brockton Bay and interrupted a meeting between Empire Eighty-Eight, Marquis, and the Teeth. Jack provoked a bidding war for the Nine’s services, which the Teeth won. The Nine carried out the Teeth’s request to attack the Protectorate, then turned on the Teeth and drove them out of Brockton Bay.<ref>“Years ago. Allfather still ruled Empire Eighty-Eight then. They held a big meeting between all of the factions. We stopped by. Great fun. I don’t think they accomplished a thing that day. We provoked a bidding war instead. Group called the Teeth wound up hiring us to kill some members of the Protectorate team. We did it, and then we wiped out the Teeth before leaving the city.”

The Slaughterhouse Nine must have been new, then. People today would know better. Hopefully. - Excerpt from Interlude 11b</ref>

They were known to frequent areas previously visited by the Endbringers,<ref>“The Slaughterhouse Nine,” Clockblocker leaned back in his seat, groaning, “Fuck, that’d be all we needed.”

“Wouldn’t be the first time they’ve arrived at a location in the wake of an Endbringer event,” Flechette pointed out. - Excerpt from Sentinel 9.4</ref> to take advantage of the chaos.

Brockton Bay[edit]

The Slaughterhouse Nine arrived in Brockton Bay for a second time in early June of 2011.<ref>Excerpt from Interlude 10.5</ref> They initially split up in order to recruit each of their chosen individuals as candidates for membership, scouting out these candidates for several days and speaking to them on June 7th and 8th.<ref>Excerpt from Plague 12.1</ref> Their arrival prompted the heroes and villains of Brockton Bay to meet in order to discuss how to combat the Nine.

During this time, Cauldron also sent Battery a note telling her to let Siberian and Shatterbird escape the city alive.<ref>Excerpt from Interlude 12.5</ref> <ref>Well, to be clear, Cauldron wanted Shatterbird and Siberian to leave the city, not necessarily Jack. - Comment by Wildbow on Monarch 16.13</ref>

After the Undersiders were forced to leave the meeting, the Slaughterhouse Nine confronted them in a parking garage. Jack Slash told them that each candidate would be tested by every member of the Nine in turn, ending in Jack Slash; failure of a test would lead to death or worse.<ref>Excerpt from Plague 12.4</ref> During this confrontation, Tattletale revealed that Cherish was plotting to take control of the Slaughterhouse Nine, something Jack Slash and Bonesaw had already countered. Jack Slash injured Tattletale for revealing this information. After this, Tattletale proposed a game to Jack Slash: if more than half of the candidates survived the tests, the Nine would only take the voluntary recruits with them and leave the remaining survivors.

Shatterbird sang thirty minutes after this confrontation. Following this in quick succession, Mannequin attacked Skitter’s territory and was driven off by her, and the Slaughterhouse Nine killed all the Merchants except for Scrub, who could harm Crawler.<ref>Excerpt from Interlude 12</ref>

Jack delivered the finalized rules of the game the next morning, giving each member of the Nine a time limit to administer their tests and prohibiting individuals who were not Brockton Bay residents from interfering. The Nine’s rules stated that they would win if they managed to kill five of the six candidates.

In between the game’s beginning and the first attack, Imp infiltrated the Slaughterhouse Nine and failed to kill Bonesaw. She instead struck a deal with Cherish.

Mannequin was the first to take part, attacking Skitter once more. He was driven off by the Undersiders and saved by Burnscar, forfeiting his turn. The Nine were then ambushed by the Travelers and the Undersiders, who captured Shatterbird and Cherish. In the same confrontation, Grue was captured by the Nine and later tortured by Bonesaw. The Nine captured Skitter, Tattletale, Imp, Trickster, Sundancer, and Ballistic when they attempted to rescue Grue. Bonesaw began to torture them but was blindsided by Parian. Grue underwent a second trigger, killing Burnscar and freeing his allies.

The Nine and the collective Parahumans of Brockton Bay continued to clash, ultimately resulting in Bonesaw releasing a plague causing agnosia so that none of the defending parahumans could recognize each other. Panacea cured the plague, but the Nine managed to escape, recruiting Hookwolf and leaving behind a modified Cherish on the bottom of the Bay as punishment.

After Brockton Bay[edit]

Following their escape from Brockton Bay, the Slaughterhouse Nine visited several towns, including Stafford and Enfield in Connecticut, in order to recruit new capes to bolster their ranks.  One of these capes was Damsel of Distress. Additionally, Hookwolf participated in his first massacre with the Nine in one of these towns, helping Jack Slash and Siberian murder hundreds of people at a rural hospital. Bonesaw kidnapped Blasto from his new base in Boston, although the Siberian was killed in a skirmish with Dragon and Defiant. The Nine proceeded to invade Toybox in order to use their technology. They set up a pocket dimension in a small town and Bonesaw placed the rest of the Nine in stasis while she began to clone their members, both past and present.

Contessa intercepted Bonesaw when she left the pocket dimension to get groceries and told Bonesaw to implant a control switch into the clones and give the switch to her at a later date. Bonesaw denied that she would do it, but over the course of the next year and a half, she came to change her mind.<ref>Excerpt from Interlude 25</ref> She turned the switch over to Cauldron in June of 2013 following an interrogation by Tattletale.<ref>Excerpt from Extinction 27.2</ref>

Slaughterhouse 9000[edit]

Main article: The Slaughterhouse Nine-Thousand

The Slaughterhouse Nine, bolstered by their clones, began their killing spree in the small town of Killington, setting traps and bodies in a spiral outwards from a message in the town hall. One Nice Guy was left behind to ambush the investigation team, which was made up of the Red Hand, the Undersiders, Weaver, and Golem. The Nice Guy was killed by Imp. Jack Slash also left a message for Golem, telling him that he didn’t meet his deadline. In spite of this, Jack Slash gave Golem another chance to kill him, without help. The deadline for this was set for five days away on the 24th at noon. Following this, multiple teams of Parahumans worked together in order to chase down the remaining clones and kill them.<ref>Excerpt from Sting 26.1</ref> 

Jack Slash then went to Ellisburg in order to recruit Nilbog and his minions. Weaver and Golem attempted to convince Nilbog not to join, but Nilbog attacked, resulting in Weaver grievously wounding him. His monsters, in revolt, join with Jack, who escapes with Nilbog’s body.<ref>Excerpt from Sting 26.4</ref>

The Slaughterhouse Nine were then pursued into their pocket dimension. The Nine having taken Aster, Weaver killed her along with a Cherish and a Screamer in case Aster’s power was what sparked the end of the world. The rest of the Nine escaped the pocket dimension.<ref>Excerpt from Sting 26.6</ref>

Golem and Weaver’s group pursued them to Los Angeles, which had been warped by Bohu. They confronted Jack, Gray Boy, the remaining Siberian, and other various members of the Slaughterhouse Nine Thousand.<ref>Interlude 26.a</ref>

After observing how Jack seemed to be aware of everything around him, Golem ordered a PRT trooper to attack Jack, successfully distracting him for a few seconds. Sensing weakness, Grey Boy looped Jack before being killed by Foil. Jack was buried in containment foam.<ref>Interlude 26.b</ref>

Despite being trapped, Jack was able to talk to Scion about his views on predation and cruelty. Scion broke Gray Boy’s loop and then went on to destroy the United Kingdom, beginning Gold Morning.<ref>Interlude 26.x</ref>

The man dug the spear’s point into the ground to help propel himself towards her. His leg flared with a gray blur as he reached her, and be brought it down onto her back from above.

It sheared through her as though she weren’t even there, cutting her in half.

Trivia[edit]

  • The Slaughterhouse Nine were the focus of Worm's one year anniversary bonus, a series of eight interludes released over the course of a week. Each update, for the most part, centered around the 'Nine' and their meetings with various candidates in Brockton Bay.
  • Jack Slash and Harbinger were no older than 12 when they killed King.<ref>https://forums.sufficientvelocity.com/posts/4279862/</ref>
