A.C.E.S.

== Anti-Crime Enforcement Squad ==
The Anti-Crime Enforcement Squad (A.C.E.S.) was a squad of crimefighters that worked alongside the UPD 14 years prior to the events of the game.
The group was formed by Alexia Price and Victor J. Waltz with the goal of creating a highly skilled team of individuals that could combat the rising crime rate within Umburgh. Victor became the leader of the group and went under the alias of "Captain Spade." The team consisted of 12 members which included.
* Victor J. Waltz (Captain Spade)
* Alexia Price (Scarlet Whisper)
* Billy Flynn (Blitz The Kid)
* Hector Valdez (Iron Bull)
* Stephen Brownstone (Seasuit Stephen) 
* Blake Englehreart (Skypiercer)
* Nigel (Nightwave) 
* John (Greyhound)
Each member of the Aces was given an alias and wore a uniform and mask to hide their identities from the public and potential enemies. Most of their true identities were still kept secret even after retirement but some members such as Waltz and Hector have come out publicly about being apart of the aces. 
A symbol predominantly used by the group is the ace of spades which has been utilized in their gear and badges.
There have been a series of comic books made about their exploits in the past as well as posters that can be found within the comic shop in "Wake Up Call".
At some point in the past, the stability of the group faltered which led to "tragic events" as explained by Nightwave. There was a series of indictments made against the team in a court hearing. Public favor of the group waned and the group was officially disbanded. Many members of group maintained normal lives such as Blake who ran an autowrecking company and garage, and Stephen Brownstone, who hired himself out as a sharkhunter at the Mccarthy Waterfront. However, some as evidenced by the documents seen in Waltz's safe suggest that they had shady dealings within the city's underworld. Nigel has continued his crime-fighting career illegally as a vigilante, some members of the group such as Waltz keep their distance from him. Despite this, Nigel still seems to have some allies he can rely on such as Blake. 
During the events of the game's story, some members of the group have gone missing or were murdered. These include Co-Leader Alexia Price who had gone missing, Stephen Brownstone who's body can be found in a shark cage in the harbor at the docks. Billy's whereabouts are unknown and John was also found dead. The leader Victor J. Waltz was found mutilated in his mansion. The fates of the other members so far is unknown aside from Hector, whom at the time of Victor writing in his journal about the killings, was still alive. 
It is unknown who is behind the slayings or what their motivations might be.
