- The Black Hand was pirate Red Rodney Radcliffe's ship. With it, he became the scourge of Hesperian Gulf raiding Terranovan and Atlantean settlements. He commanded it while participating in the Battle of the Hesperian Gulf. However, he was killed by William Radcliff while ashore in Avalon.
- The Black Hand was a 'back to basics' crew started by Craigington. As his first crew, it immediately took off with pirates longing to have a secure pillaging environment. However, Craigington was forced out of the game for administration reasons and he handed the crew to his first mate Donto. Unfortunately things did not work out with the stand-in captain and the crew declined in size, with some crew going into dormancy. Once Craigington returned to the game he found the crew unsalvageable with no senior officers left and the stand-in captain gone.
- As a terrorist organization, they possess older, lower-tech equipment. An example being that during one of their attacks, some of their members were shown equipped with infiltration projectors, which allowed them to disguise themselves as ISA Marines (However these projectors were older models, thus for them to properly work, it was required to have several of these projectors strapped across their body in order for them to achieve efficiency). Also, most of their weapons are old surplus from the Second Extrasolar War. The organization has a large amount of influence in the Slums of New Helghan, as stated when two security officers discuss the group in audio logs.
- Black Hand was the nemesis of Captain Flag who was unknowingly also responsible for the creation of Captain Flag. Black Hand kidnapped John Townsend to steal the wealthy inventor's plans for a new bomb sight intended for the Army. But Townsend wouldn't talk, so Black Hand had his cronies snatch Townsend’s useless and drunken son Thomas to use as leverage. When John Townsend still refused to cooperate, Black Hand killed him using the power of his diseased right hand.
- The Black Hand, also known in the beginning as Black Hands, is the longest lived association of power-thirsty scoundrels in Oberin. The Black Hand was a very old organization that experienced a revival of sorts in 425, when it caught the public attention by building Poison Forges to equip the trolls of the Alliance with a new type of weapon. At the time, they were lead by the wizard Yadeth. Apart from their leader, the two most famous agents were the Twins Rasha and Varsha. Together they kidnapped the Duchess Tirana, the heir of Mirith's throne. Tirana was eventually rescued, the Poison Forges were destroyed, and Yadeth was killed, with the help of the Mhara Folk.
- The Black Hand, or La Mano Nera in Italian, was a type of extortion racket. It was a method of extortion, not a criminal organization as such, though gangsters of the Camorra and the Mafia practiced it. Originating in Southern Italy, the term gained prominence when referring to Italian or Sicilian immigrant criminals who moved to the United States from the 1880s onwards. Don Massimo Fanucci was a practicer of Black Hand techniques, which were improved upon by the men who later ran the Five Families in New York City, such as Vito Corleone.

Don Massimo Fanucci was a practicer of Black Hand techniques, which were improved upon by the men who later ran the Five Families in New York City, such as Vito Corleone. By 1900, Black Hand operations were firmly established in the Italian-American communities of major cities including New York, Philadelphia, New Orleans, Chicago, Scranton, San Francisco, and Detroit. Although more successful immigrants were usually targeted, possibly as many as 90% of Italian immigrants and workmen in New York and other communities were threatened with extortion. On occasion, Black Handers threatened other gangsters and usually faced retaliation. The Black Hand practice in the United States disappeared in the mid 1920s after a wave of negative public opinion led organized crime figures to seek more subtle methods of extortion.

- The Black Hand, also known in the beginning as Black Hands, is the longest lived association of power-thirsty scoundrels in Oberin. The Black Hand was a very old organization that experienced a revival of sorts in 425, when it caught the public attention by building Poison Forges to equip the trolls of the Alliance with a new type of weapon. At the time, they were lead by the wizard Yadeth. Apart from their leader, the two most famous agents were the Twins Rasha and Varsha. Together they kidnapped the Duchess Tirana, the heir of Mirith's throne. Tirana was eventually rescued, the Poison Forges were destroyed, and Yadeth was killed, with the help of the Mhara Folk. After Yadeth's death, the leadership passed to his wife, also a wizard, the Andrisian Elefin, until then only known for being Asliendor's girlfriend. During Elefin's command, the Hand became allied with Senator Lancaster in his barricading of Andris. Under his request, Elefin and the Twins conducted an attack against Mirith, in order to kidnap Serene, the only known heir of Elara. On the day of the attack, Tirana revealed to have been working for the Hand as well, and fled Mirith with her accomplices, after murdering Araine, Beleth's daughter. Around that time, the Hand and the Alliance were preparing an invasion of Marali. Tired of Elefin's rule, the Twins proposed a deal to Mirith. They would lure Elefin to the town, so that the guardians of the kingdom could kill her, and Marali would be left alone. The pact, more imposed by the Twins rather than an option open for negotiation, did not stand for long. In 426, Marali was freed from the control of the Black Hand. Forced to flee, the Twins and Tirana were hiding for a long time. During that period, the necromancer Marthonis took over the leadership of the Hand. His experiments with the dead scared off the Alliance. At the first opportunity, with Mirith busy fighting the Eye, the Twins and Tirana were reunited at their former hideout near Duldrus. They started the reorganisation of the Black Hand, as well as the reestablishment of their contacts with the Alliance. Since they would not dethrone Marthonis, two factions of the Black Hand were formed, commonly referred to as "the Twins' faction" and "Marthonis' faction". It is believed that the two factions have similar symbols, one with the black prints of a left hand pointing west, and the drawing of a lion; the other with the black prints of a right hand pointing northeast. This might be a misinterpretation of a simple change of design. In order to refill their supplies of etherite, Tirana and the Twins kidnapped Beleth, the Royal Mage of Mirith, who had left town seeking revenge from the murdering of his daughter. Around the same time, with the help of the reformed Alliance, they stole the Royal Sceptre from the capital of the Kingdom. The Hand's hideout was eventually found by Zem Stormbrow, and Beleth was rescued. However, Beleth's finding was part of Tirana's plot to make Mirith convince the Centaurs to open their cave. She had learnt that Cecil, after reading the Tome of the Lost, knew of the spell that would allow Beleth to find his nemesis. She had also learnt that they would need the power of the Centaurs. Offering herself as bait would eventually give her the access to the most powerful yet vulnerable creatures in the land. However, the Twins were once again tired of their leadership, and, during the confront of the people coming from Mirith with Tirana, they fled the cave. Tirana was beheaded and they became the leaders of the Hand. Since then, the Twins have not been seen again. Instead, a section of their association, the Division of Diabolical Devices, became more and more famous. It is rumoured that their main researcher, Master Rem, will soon dispute the control of the Black Hand with the Twins. In the meanwhile, the cities of Mirith, Marali, and Andris have redoubled their efforts to find and destroy the Diabolicals. During all this time, the Hand has been responsible for numerous and regular attacks all over Oberin, having a large number of brigands and mercenaries working for them. They are still collaborating with the Alliance. Most recent news report of their collaboration with the Privateers led by Captain Jass.

When John Townsend still refused to cooperate, Black Hand killed him using the power of his diseased right hand. Black Hand then turned his attention toward Thomas to do the same, but then an eagle crashed through the window, snatched Thomas Townsend, and flew off with him. During the months that followed, Thomas Townsend nurtured by the eagle, built himself up and repented of his ways. One day the eagle arrived at his aerie with an American flag which Thomas took as a sign and adopted the identity of Captain Flag. Captain Flag and Yank (as the eagle was now called by Captain Flag) returned to Black Hand’s hideout and fought Black Hand and his minions. However during the fight the mansion hideout was set ablaze with our heroes narrowly escaping. Black Hand was assumed to have died in the fire. Black Hand somehow survived though and returned to fight Captain Flag on several occasions. The first was a plot to free Nazi prisoners from Canadian prisons. Then another time, Black Hand unleashed a deadly germ into a factory’s air conditioning unit in an attempt to obtain the radium that he knew would be used to treat the victims. Finally, Black hand attempted to steal Poet Pirate’s book of verses containing clues to a treasure and then assembled a cutthroat pirate crew to obtain it. This time though, Black Hand’s fate was sealed, as he ends up hanging from the freighter’s yardarm, suffering a pirate’s death.
