Similar to the Indian "thuggees" or the Japanese "yakuza", triad members participate in initiation ceremonies. According to some estimates the Thuggees murdered 1 million people between 1740 and 1840. Satanists, Sects of the Latter Day Saint movement, Yakuzas, Triads, and Thuggees were popular choices. The trio reaches an underground temple where the Thuggees worship Kali with human sacrifice. East India Company troopers, alerted by Sarah, arrive and defeat the Thuggees. Some Parihars abandoned their traditional association as Rajputs to become thuggees by hereditary occupation.
