Black Dragon Brotherhood

The Black Dragon Brotherhood is the single largest criminal organisation in Erradan. Prior to War Minister Rosenclair's rise to power, it was a widespread faction that controlled large territories, mostly around the Fisheries and the City Centre. The Brotherhood performs a multitude of criminal activities, including racketeering, smuggling, and theft. They originally profited from the running of underground fighting pits.
The Black Dragon Brotherhood are lead by the fearsome and formidable Vaughn Vernonwood, an intimidating man who can act as both the brawn and the brains in any situation. Despite his infamy, he usually manages to weasel his way away from the law. According to official records, Vaughn is merely a prestigious businessman, who runs the Vernonwood Whiskey company. However, anybody 'in the know' in the city knows that he's much more than that.
Vaughn's seconds in command are a brute called Claw, who lacks Vaughn's intelligence but makes up for it with sheer loyalty, and an expert thief, smuggler, and black market businessman known as Switchblade.
The Black Dragon Brotherhood were centred at the King's Cup Pub, a haven for criminal activity, and a safe place from the law. However, this pub was shut down when Rosenclair took control of the city.
