Thomas Blood’s Mallet

Origin
Thomas Blood was an Anglo-Irish officer who attempted to steal the Crown Jewels of England from the Tower of London in 1671. He and several accomplices, along with a woman pretending to be his wife, were allowed to view the Jewels by the custodian. Blood and his ‘wife’ started integrating themselves into their family until they gained enough trust to make the steal. Blood and his accomplices knocked the custodian out with the mallet and flattened some of the jewels so they could fit within their clothes. They almost made it out but the custodian’s son had arrived and alerted the guards.

In June 1907, the mallet was stolen by five rogue Warehouse 12 agents and used to steal the Irish Crown Jewels. The agents escaped overseas but the mallet was retrieved at the burglary scene and the crime was announced to the world. This became another impetus in the beginning of the 20th century for the Warehouse to hasten its departure to the United States.

Effects
It allows the user to steal any jewels. It will disable all security measures, knock out all guards and leave no evidence. However, it does attract bystanders, who can alert the authorities and ruin the heist.
