Thuggee Cult Enforcers

aggressive determined ruthless fanatical obedient
Thuggee Cult Enforcers serve as Mola Ram's fanatical enforcers, operating primarily from the Pankot mines and palace tunnels. They execute his commands with mechanical precision, armed with Khyber rifles and sledgehammers. Their roles include high-speed pursuits in mine cars, relentless firing during chases, and catastrophic sabotage (e.g., shattering cistern supports to release floods). Their coordinated actions reveal the cult's ruthless devotion, blending pursuit with destructive tactics to protect the Sankara Stones. They function as both frontline combatants and specialized operatives for large-scale sabotage missions.
