Probably going to be starting this, and as soon as the "Chel...." got out of my lips, I had like 3 players immediately bonering up to play a Hell Knight.
One of the players has the new book that details the Hell Knights and their orders.
So, is it possible? Can the PCs in CoT either start off as, or end up taking the PRCs for Hell Knights?

The AP has some suggestions for how this can be done. Have you read the Player's Guide? There's a sidebar on page 7. (Basically, any order but the Rack can be made to work.)
That said...
If your players are all Hellknight fanatics, this AP might not be well-suited to them. I would do one of the following:
-Read the AP, all the way to the end of Book 6, and determine if you want to make things work. (If you do choose to run it, I'd do this anyway - Council of Thieves really needs some effort from the GM to make it flow.)
-Given your players' excitement, Hell's Vengeance might be a far better fit. Consider discussing the matter with them; Hell's Vengeance will give them far more opportunity to enforce Hellknight law.
If you need any further help or advice, feel free to post here or contact me in PMs. ^_^
Also, if you can arrange to hold off for a few months, the upcoming Adventurer's Guide will have some content that will be very useful to both you and your players. No matter which Path you end up running. ^_^

If you do stick with this Path (and don't end up with nothing but grim and humorless knights), I recommend using the various business and building rules from Ultimate Campaign. Having homes and businesses is a good way to keep the PCs invested in the City of Twilight.
In addition, Cheliax, the Infernal Empire will give you a little more info on Westcrown, including its city statblock; the early Player Companion Cheliax, Empire of Devils will give you some very useful stuff about day-to-day life in Cheliax (including some useful stuff on crime and punishment).

Thanks for the advice, I appreciate it.
Ironically enough, between my first post and this one, the shift did maybe occur to go with Hell's Vengeance and my buddy running that one.
I game a lot, see.
Group A started Hell's Vengeance, but it is kind of flaky and not very reliable. The GM of group A is in the other group B.
Group B is the one finishing up Jade Regent. Group B is the group that is considering Council of Thieves.
Since Group A is very iffy (6 games scheduled, 3 games played, lots of extraneous out of game drama), the suggestion was maybe letting group B play Hells Vengeance and finding something else for group A to do.
Dunno, we'll see what happens. Thanks for the infos!
