The Manor

==BACKGROUND==
The Manor is the name of a predominately British street gang that ex-Mandem Sparky Kane founded and now leads upon his return to Los Santos. It consists mostly of former members of The Mandem but also with the addition of a few others, including Luke Atar, former Seaside member Terry Linkston, Sparky's sister Kylie Kane, and Gigi Costello. The gang reps the colour blue as well as clothing from the brand Manor. The Manor's ideology is to foster good connections but also make sure they are not walked over and their kindness be taken for weakness. They are very much in agreement that they will match the same energy given to them. The Manor is a new group and at this stage they are trying to build their reputation. They frequently rob Gruppe 6, Grime, and Snr Buns, and as a result have been involved in a number of small conflicts. 
Currently the group operates out of 9 Grove Street, and they have chosen to push their weed strain, “Barret .50 Cali", in this area, on what is traditionally seen as Ballas turf. The gang had intended to hold down Ganton Court, an area not far from Grove Street, but at this stage they mainly operate from Grove. In terms of structure, Sparky Kane is the leader and he eventually appointed Stephen Joyce as his right hand man. Sparky also gave Stephen Joyce the responsibility of looking after the Gang's finances and collecting payments, under the name HMR-Ste. 
A few of the other members have also begun specialising within the crew. For instance, Eli Porter is the main weed grower and is responsible for the production of their own strain of weed, which he grows in the gang's grow house on Forum Drive. Meanwhile, Sparky and Luke Atar are both responsible for the distribution of narcotics from Eli to others within gang, as well as the management of the number of unaffiliated block shottas the gang uses. Matthew Antov and Tatianna Donatacci have also both achieved max money cleaning rep, with Matt also having max rep with the Fence and working towards gaining max rep with the stealing and chopping of cars. Terry Linkston is the self appointed leader of the 'Devious Licks Division' specialising in robberies, and James Malding is the main hacker in the gang. 
The current goal of The Manor is to acquire more mining racks and GPUs so that they are able to mine at least 100-120 BUTCOIN per day. The main motivation behind this is to keep up with the production of the top criminal organisations in the city. With guns beginning to appear in the city, the gang is also working on acquiring more firearms, as well as expanding their weed operation, with the hopes of becoming a turf with good reputation. 
== FORMATION==
===THE BEGINNINGS OF THE MANOR===
Following the 5 year gap, Sparky Kane and other members of the Mandem all went their separate ways. However, upon Sparky's return to the city, he quickly started reconnecting with a few of his old gang members, such as Matthew Antov and James Malding. As part of a collective made up of some ex-MDM and other new faces, Sparky purchased a property on Grove Street as a base for early criminal operations. The reason this group chose Grove Street, was because Sparky and the others had been directly approached by the Ballas to purchase the house next door to their own, as they trusted them more than the likes of Chang Gang who had also just moved into the area. The group that invested into the house were not yet a gang or a coherent criminal organization, but a smaller group within the house started to form, which was made up of those that Sparky had begun to work closely with. This group included: James Malding, Matthew Antov, Terry Linkston, Eli Porter, Stephen "Ste" O'Connor and Saint Martin. Sparky also expressed interest in working with Capped 'Pigeon' Tarranova, Shankquan O'Neal, and Giavanna Costello, with the latter two eventually joining the group.
The early activities of the group included some conflict with KURVICA, a Polish gang, following Sparky's robbery of Charles Espresso, as well as the stealing of a crowbar from Eugene Zuckerburg, and the robbery of 100k from Scam Squad. However it was following the robbery of Terry Linkston and James Malding by Jean Paul and Ginger Ale, during a Gruppe 6 job, that caused Sparky Kane and the others to officially settle on a name for their new organisation. In the aftermath of Terry Linkston's get back on Jean Paul, in which he acquired a PD Glock, Sparky and the others involved met up at Ganton Court to discuss their next steps. Very quickly, the conversation turned from the Jean Paul situation to the naming of the group that had begun to form within the Grove Street House. In the end, Sparky and the others settled on the name The Manor.
