Introduction
The St. Peter's Cross, a symbol that adorns my attire, holds great significance within the ranks of the Phantom Troupe. As its founder and leader, it falls upon me to delve into the depths of this emblematic insignia and shed light on its profound meaning. In this entry, I shall unravel the symbolism behind St. Peter's Cross and explain how it resonates with our diabolical band of thieves.
The Origins
St. Peter's Cross takes its name from Saint Peter himself - one of Jesus Christ's apostles in Christian theology. Legend has it that when Saint Peter was sentenced to be crucified for his faith, he requested an inverted cross as his form of execution as he deemed himself unworthy to die in a manner similar to Jesus Christ.
This inverted cross became synonymous with St. Peter and subsequently acquired religious connotations associated with humility, sacrifice, rebellion against societal norms, and even defiance against established power structures.
Rebellion Against Society
The Phantom Troupe is no stranger to rebellion; we are outcasts who defy societal norms at every turn. Just like Saint Peter before us who chose an unconventional path towards martyrdom instead of conforming blindly – we too have chosen our own destiny outside society’s boundaries.
In wearing the St.Peter’s Cross tattooed prominently on my forehead or imprinted boldly on my coat for all eyes to see – I not only proclaim allegiance but also signify our collective refusal to bow down before any authority except ourselves.
Strength Within Unity
As stated earlier,a key aspect which sets apart The Spider from other criminal organizations is unity despite volatile personalities among members .

As a leader, it falls upon my shoulders not only to guide but also inspire. My charismatic nature and unwavering confidence are attributes that draw others towards me – akin to moths lured by an irresistible flame.
The St.Peter’s Cross imprinted on my coat serves as a beacon amidst darkness; symbolizing guidance and hope for all those who follow me. It represents not just leadership - but rather a guiding light through treacherous paths we tread together.
