	Dimir's structure is an extremely complex and intricate system. Most guild members don't even know who they are working for. Information is heavily controlled as the guild functions on a strictly need to know basis. The guild leader, currently a shapeshifter known as Lazav, knows all and sees all. Beneath him are the necrosages, who oversee the guild's activities from Duskmantle, the guild's hidden base of operations. The necrosages collect and manipulate information in Ravnica, keeping the guild informed and making sure [[Just as planned\|everyone remains ignorant.]] This is done by a network of middlemen who inform the guilds agents on what to do. Agents who work at the very bottom only meet a mysterious individual in a back alley that gives them some basic information on their target before vanishing into the shadows. These mysterious individuals are a type of phantom, either a magical construct or the enslaved ghosts of individuals.		Dimir's structure is an extremely complex and intricate system.
