Sham Lash

Sham Lash is the Parthevian assassin's guild lead by Shaka. Not much is known about the organization and its members.

Imuchakk Arc
Three members of the Sham Lash organization, Ja'far, Vittel, and Mahad, are sent with Drakon to capture Sinbad, who has escaped the Parthevian Empire. They follow Sinbad to Imuchakk, where they fail to capture him. In Valefor's Dungeon Ja'far, Vittel and Mahad decide to leave Sham Lash and join Sinbad. After leaving Valefor's dungeon members of Sham Lash, including their leader Shaka, are waiting for Ja'far, Vittel and Mahad, with intent to kill them and their new comrades. Sinbad attempts to use Valefor's power, with Shaka watching in interest. When this seems to fail Sham Lash attacks only to be struck down by the sudden cold. Faced with this Shaka orders for a long-ranged attack. Before any harm can be done Imuchakk warriors, lead by Hinahoho's father, appear, surrounding the Sham Lash assassins. Faced with this new force the members of Sham Lash retreat, seeming to vanish into thin air, but not before warning their former members that they don't forgive traitors.

Later on Vittel and Mahad voice their concerns over Sham Lash one day coming after them and Ja'far, as Sham Lash doesn't forgive traitors.
