The Fang was a group of Libaterran mercenaries in the Third Age. Group membership changed over the years as old members fell and new people stepped in to fill the void. Two famous incarnations of the group existed: one under Koba and the other under Glaurung Losstarot. During the events of the Rose of the Desert, the Fang helped set the stage for the Libaterran Civil War by ambushing and assassinating King Samiel Locken and Queen Fara Locken of Libaterra under orders from the Clergy of Nergal while posing as Rebels.
The Fang became notorious in the Great War when Glaurung led them to raid the Khitan Khanate under orders from their mysterious employer whose identity only Glaurung knew at the time. Their raids eventually led to a big skirmish during which Qishou Khan, leader of the Khitans, was injured, which led to the Khitans siding with the Delegation of Thirteen. Although the mercenaries lost men that day, Glaurung still succeeded in her mission to distract the Khitans from her employer's true objective in the khanate's lands and retreated before she and the rest of her men could be caught.
The Fang became a core group of Glaurung's followers as she began carving her empire in Trinity Gask after the Faerfolc Rampage which had left a power vacuum in Libaterra which many rising factions intended to fill. Many of the core members such as Leopold Lain and Orestes later rose to high positions in the Crimson Coalition.
