| abstract | - The Vindice or Vendicare are the masked guards who protect the laws of the Mafia world. All Vindice are former Arcobaleno that have survived the removal of their Arcobaleno Pacifiers, united under a single cause by Bermuda von Veckenschtein, the founder of the organization. Their mangled bodies under their bandages are a result of the removal. They each carry a stone Pacifier as a testament to their former life as an Arcobaleno, which was left as a remainder after Checker Face forcibly removed their original Pacifiers. Those who defy their laws are said to be arrested without hesitation and are doomed to spend the rest of their lives in an inescapable prison known as the Vendicare Prison, though their allies can negotiate their release, as shown in the Future Arc by Ghost and Mukuro Rokudo's release. The Vindice have been around for as long as the Mafia has existed, with them being the vocal point of the agreement made between Giotto and Cozarto Simon. Their reputation among the Mafia World precedes them, as they are said 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, although they are obviously quite powerful as they are all former Arcobaleno, it is known that only three Illusionists in the world have the power to deceive the Vindice. The strength of the Vindice is immense, as they had to guard two of the strongest Guardians from high ranking Famiglias, Mukuro Rokudo of the Vongola Famiglia and Ghost of the Millefiore Famiglia. Another implication of their immense strength is the fact that they themselves have stated that they could've taken care of Daemon Spade if they wanted to. However, the Vindice cannot create their own Flame of Night; they rely on Bermuda to supply them with the Flames. The Vindice also appear to use Rings as one of them used his/her Ring to project an image of Mukuro's profile to Iris. The Vindice also take extreme precautions to protect anyone from knowing about the Flame that they use.
