Appearances

Black Claw, also known as Schwarzkralle (SCHVAHRTZ-krah-luh; Ger. "black claw"), was a group of Wesen intent on living in a world where Wesen do not have to hide their true selves from society, and they were not hesitant to kill anyone who stood in their way, including any Wesen who refused to join them or weren't a part of their cause.

They did not view the latter group of Wesen as family or fellow "brothers and sisters." ("Wesen Nacht") ("Star-Crossed") They wanted to take control of the government ("Inugami") and they were dedicated to bringing back Wesen culture, traditions, and rituals, which they felt they had long been oppressed and persecuted for in the past by Kehrseite. ("Star-Crossed") One of their other main missions was to eradicate all things Grimm, including Grimms, ("Map of the Seven Knights") unless they could get the Grimm to join them. ("The Taming of the Wu")

They were also willing to die for what they believed in. ("Eve of Destruction") They were opposed by Hadrian's Wall. They used a claw mark for their symbol, and their motto was "Occultatum Libera," which loosely translated, according to Monroe, means "free the hidden" or "free what's hidden." ("Clear and Wesen Danger") ("Wesen Nacht") Some members in Black Claw embezzled money to fund the group's activities, and other members recruited Wesen children within the foster care system who had been placed in a ward. ("Clear and Wesen Danger") ("Lost Boys") Some recruiters in Black Claw would go to the individual homes of Wesen and hand out flyers in person to organize meetings, which were essentially recruiting sessions. ("Star-Crossed") The group had a global presence and had the ability to quickly organize and carry out coordinated attacks. Ultimately, however, they were crippled in Portland by the death of one of their co-founders, Conrad Bonaparte, and Hadrian's Wall, the group opposing them, eventually destroyed every last cell of Black Claw that was left. ("Zerstörer Shrugged")
