I don't like the term "Death Eaters" either.

Stretching my memory back some 20+ years to my Latin classes, I seem to
recall that'ludo' meant 'game' or 'contest' which, IIRC, would be very
appropriate.

'Bagman' is a slang term for the guy who picks up the money from the
bookies or the extortees and takes it to the boss.
