The Ten Dons (
Background[]
The Ten Dons would gather once a year at the start of September for the Underground Auction in Yorknew City. During that time, they would discuss their plans and issue orders, which their special bodyguards would then execute, the Shadow Beasts, each of whom was the most powerful Nen user in the service of one of the Dons.[1] They were known to hold Neon Nostrade's fortunetelling abilities in high regard.[3] It would also seem that they held an immense amount of combined wealth, which was enough to allow them to hire professional assassins. They also knew about the existence of Nen.[4]

Yorknew City arc[]
The Ten Dons being controlled by Illumi
Through Neon's predictions, the Dons begin to suspect that there might be problems with the Underground Auction, so they send Owl to relocate all the items. After a large number of Mafia members and auction clients are massacred by the Phantom Troupe,[1] the Ten Dons send the Shadow Beasts to eliminate them.[5] The Shadow Beasts are killed in the ensuing fight,[4] prompting the Dons to put a bounty on the Spiders' heads[6] and hire professional assassins, including Kurapika, Silva and Zeno Zoldyck.[4] Chrollo easily kills all except the latter three.[3][7][8] Chrollo and the Zoldycks clash, but before they can finish him off, the Ten Dons are assassinated by Illumi who is accompanied by Kalluto and Maha, invalidating their contract with Silva and Zeno. Illumi then controls their corpses to start the Underground Auction[9] and cancel the bounty on the Phantom Troupe.[10]
