Lord Lolorito is the most powerful and influential of the Syndicate members, the Alacran in the story line (and Gladiator storyline) worked for him. The Alacran and the Brass Blades are both owned by Lord Lolorito. The Brass Blades are in charge of customs, viewing merchant wears entering Ul'dah. Lolorito has all the power. He was also given something by the Sultansworn (not said if the Alacran that obtained it was tracked down and stopped) in exchange for the stolen crown. He will definitely be the most major player in future Ul'dah storylines. Also Lord Lolorito is tied to the frozen-death like state of Niellefresne (ugh I'm gonna bring this up over and over until finally given closure) with the dagger having been his and Niellefresne stealing it, trying to use the power of the dagger and some Thaumaturge ability to communicate with Warburton to find out the "true threat to Eorzea" (not being the Garleans). He has enough gil to buy the Thaumaturge guild, most of the guild itself has capable of assassinations. If a rich person is killed, in an unnatural way, and he has bought a "revenge-will" with the Thaumaturge -- it becomes their duty to carry out the will regardless of who it is. The Thaumaturge guild and the Alchemist guild brings together the perfect combination of deadly results for the Sultana. Assassins with access to poison.
