The Spectres

Most wizzergangs tend to be of the “flash and bang” variety, where a bunch of wiz-kids learn how to throw some fireballs or lightning bolts and get high off the mayhem of just blowing things up, at least until the cops catch up with them, or their own egos set off a power struggle that finishes off the gang in a spectacular fireworks display. The Specters are apparently smarter and lower key than that. They focus most of their activity on the astral plane, operating primarily in spirit form, with their physical bodies safely stowed somewhere else. This lets them engage in astral surveillance (for later blackmail or sale of the information), carrying messages, some astral vandalism or “haunting” (and the associated extortion for them to stop), and even some magical security or bodyguarding. Their colors are silver and green. They operate primarily in the Seattle Metroplex and are quite familiar with the ins and outs of the local astral footprint and ecology.

They occasionally team up with hackers (such as Clippy) to assist with the hauntings and blackmailing.
