The '''Mercenary Agency In the Mazes''', better known as '''MAIM''' is a minor faction in the Mazes. They are an organization serving as a means of communication between skilled mercenaries seeking work, and reliable customers seeking skilled personnel.
MAIM was founded in 674 by three veteran mercenaries with extensive independent careers; Jackie "Raider" Mullen (a male [[human]]), Thomas "Viper" Hawkins (a male [[feline halfling]]), and Kazuki "Stream" Shirakawa (a male [[tengu]]). Raider's vision was to create the first agency of its kind, which would regroup the best mercenaries and hired guns in the world under one banner so that they could provide the best personnel to the highest-paying customers, and in turn allow truly professional mercenaries to get paid their worth instead of having to compete with amateurs that could barely hold a pistlpistol. The three men pooled their resources and founded the Agency, in search of the best merc talent of the Mazes.
MAIM is known for its wide selection of available personnel, from all sorts of backgrounds and with all kinds of skills. They are also credited for formalizing the unwritten ''mercenary's ethics'', which stipulates that mercs should be loyal to the money first, and to their employers second, regardless of the cause or employer they are working for. The formal rules of the Agency dictate that all members must pass basic marksmanship tests with semi-automatic handguns, as well as know the basics of firearms maintenance and first aid. Officially, MAIM does not take positions and actively refuses all affiliations or coalitions with other groups and interests.
