History
Tartaros (冥府の門タルタロス Tarutarosu) was a dark guild that was formed in Earthland where they became a central part of the Balum Alliance alongside the Oracion Seis and Grimoire Heart. It was founded by the Etherious Mard Geer Tartaros who was created by Zeref Dragneel and consisted of similar such demons that were born from the Books of Zeref. Their formation came when Mard had located the tome of E.N.D. in a span of four hundred years with it being found by chance and Geer named the creature the Master of the Dark Guild. However, E.N.D. was believed to had been trapped in his book through powerful magic and Mard Greer long sought a means of opening it. He came to realise the true intention of their kind which was to kill their master as that was his only wish in the world and the only being seemingly capable of this act was E.N.D. As a guild of such creatures, they considered themselves not just followers of Zeref but his children whilst he regarded them as his bookshelf. It was said that the members of Tartaros made a contract with the Underworld King Mard Geer in order to make themselves an immortal guild. After the imprisonment of the Oracion Seis, Tartaros began cementing itself as the sole leader of the Balam Alliance and began attacking their lesser allies where they absorbed some of their number and destroyed the remaining. Eventually, they came to learn of the existence of an anti-magic weapon created by the Magic Council and sought to commandeer it in an attempt to wipe magic from the world. Mard Greer believed that such an act would break the seals holding E.N.D. and awaken the demon inside.
The dark guild sought to devastate the continent on behalf of their master and sought to use Face to accomplish this task. This was a weapon created by the Magic Council that could eliminate magic but was kept hidden away through body-link magic with former council members. As Tartaros consisted of demons, they did not make use of magic but rather curses thus making them immune to the power of Face. Thus, they staged their plan to eliminating magic from the continent and with the aid of the traitorous former councilman Crawford Seam they began their assault. This was initiated by them striking at the Magic Council and killing its members whereupon they began targeting former councilmen with information provided by Seam.
Overview
Their ranks consisted of Etherious who held a number of rules namely that they were demons from the Books of Zeref and therefore his children. Furthermore, they held a low opinion of humans as being vile and disgusting creatures. As such, all members of Tartaros were referred to as no longer being human but rather a guild of demons. They did not make use of magic but rather curses which they considered superior to ordinary magic. As such, anti-magic abilities were noted to not being able to affect them. The guild was not above killing their allies if they served their purpose. The ultimate goal of the guild was to return to their creator Zeref and thus sought to achieve this by any means. Unknown to these demons, the true reason for this desire to re-unite with Zeref was actually encoded within their genetics by their creator. He had tired of his immortal existence and sought an end to that life which he could not take himself. Thus, he created the Etherious demons who he intended to kill him but none of their number knew of this goal except for their leader Mard Greer who sought its completion.
A core team within the guild consisted of the Nine Demon Gates (九鬼門 Kyūkimon) who were the most powerful warriors of Tartaros. If any were killed, then a vacancy was left open among the Demongates ranks that could be filled by a new member.
Their base of operations was a floating island called the Cube (冥界島キューブ Kyūbu) that was cube-shaped and served as a home to the demons. Within their headquarters, the lower chambers contained a laboratory that had rows of tanks holding a mysterious liquid. This room was known as Hell's Core (ヘルズ・コア Heruzu Koa) that contained mechanisms controlled by demonic tentacle-like extensions. It was used by the dark guild to transform those worthy into Etherious demons granting select people with greater powers and abilities. These tanks were also used to regenerate the bodies of guild members that had their bodies destroyed. This could see them even changing their features allowing them to effectively transform their more monstrous forms into more human ones. With it, the members of Tartaros were effectively immortal as every time their bodies were destroyed they would manifest in one of the tanks in the room awaiting to be restored.
