Prior to [[Vivenna]]'s integration into the group, the crew had been hired by Bluefingers for the task of increasing tensions between [[Hallandren]] and [[Idris]] to drive Hallandren to war.{{wob ref|7283}}{{book ref|wb|58}} Early on, Denth manages to get employment with [[Lemex]] to use as an in with the Idrian community in Hallandren. When word comes that Vivenna is on her way, however, Denth realizes that she could be a backup pawn for their overall plan and begins poisoning Lemex so that they can gain control of and use Vivenna when she arrives.{{wob ref|6720}}
Upon her arrival in Hallandren, the crew ingratiates themselves to Vivenna, doing a thorough job of manipulating her into thinking that due to Lemex’s demise she is now their employer.{{book ref|wb|10}} While Vivenna believes the crew is helping her to help her people, they actually use her as a symbol to inflame the local Idrian population against the Hallandren leadership and to show the Hallendrens that the Idrians are worth going to war against. First, they discuss and employ such tactics as disrupting the food supply to the city and inciting revolts in the dye fields. They meet with merchants, crime lords, and politicians, using Vivenna’s [[Royal Locks]] as proof of her identity.{{book ref|wb|22}}
Denth knows he must walk a fine line between manipulating Vivenna into doing what he wants her to do and allowing her to feel like she is in charge, so he goes along with her plan to meet up with some forgers. The forgers agree to falsify documents proving that certain priests were extorting Idris, although Denth privately intends to stop the documents from ever being used.{{book ref|wb|28}}{{wob ref|6960}} Vivenna is allowed to be present when they attack a salt merchant’s shop, which is only a cover for the crew’s true motive: kidnapping the daughter of [[Nanrovah]], high priest of [[Stillmark]], to blackmail him into changing his vote at court to one for war.{{book ref|wb|49}} It is only after her brief kidnapping by Vasher that Vivenna discovers, upon her return, the crew's actual intentions.{{book ref|wb|35}} She escapes the crew and is eventually rescued again by Vasher, together with whom she does what she can to counter what the crew has been doing.
After Denth's death at Vasher’s hands, the crew splits up. Jewels leaves to take the Lifeless Arsteel to his brother Yesteel, master of Lifeless Commands, in the hope that he can find a way to restore Arsteel's memories and personality. Tonk Fah, free from the direction and control that Denth provided for his murderous urges, goes off to begin killing wantonly.{{wob ref|7471}}
