The Horde's base of operations is a Floating Cocoon sometimes known as the Belly of the Lair of The Monarch's Hideout.
[edit] Henchmen Duties
Members of The Horde have performed various duties in service to The Monarch. Employed as anything from errand boys to assassins, members of The Horde are versatile and capable agents of villainy. Duties of the henchmen have included:
- Sending apology letters.
- Unleashing herpes-smeared sexbots on traitorous members of The Guild.
- Killing the Venture brothers.
- Strong arm tactics.
- Kidnapping (aka recruitment).
- Using exotic animals to assassinate high profile targets.
- Hand-to-hand combat against impossible odds.
- Surveillance and other intelligence gathering.
- Housekeeping.
- Writing and publishing propaganda (and nothing else).
[edit] Known Henchmen
Henchmen meet a number of gruesome ends in service to The Monarch. Whether in combat against Brock Samson, struggling against the servants of Underbheit, or be traitorous to The Monarch and feeling his sting - the life of a henchmen is likely short and their death is probably painful. An example of the pain inflicted upon henchmen on a continuing basis was during Are You There God? It's Me, Dean, when Number 43 had his tendon cut which made his calf muscle roll up like a window shade. However, even with such a high turnover rate a few henchmen have gained some notoriety and became Known Henchmen.
Number 37, who was stricken from the roster in Dia de Los Dangerous for being a traitor. An alternate view was that he merely coughed and was slain by The Monarch in a paranoid fit, but that is widely regarded as untrue in front of The Monarch.
Numbers 18, 27, 38, 41, and 46 have been mentioned but only in passing.
