Most organized crime groups have code, but they are involved in some pretty screwed up stuff. I don't think you quite understood what I was saying. The code certainly doesn't make them good, but it does put them above simple good-evil boundaries. They can do things either for good or for evil, depending on what is on offer. So while most of their contracts are indeed evil murders, that doesn't mean that they are inherently evil, just their work is.

Bit difficult to explain, but the strict code is the 'Lawful' part of the alignment, the murdering is the 'Evil' part of the alignment.
