The Red Order Syndicate

== The Red Order Syndicate ==
"We're the Red Order! We're the most powerful criminal syndicate all over Georgia, boss!" - a soldier revealing part of their motto to Duke Bennett
The Red Order Syndicate (Infamously known as the Red Order) is a powerful American criminal organization in Columbus, led by Duke Bennett. 
They're the overarching antagonistic faction featured in the Reboot Timeline (notably in the Canon series and the Raider series) and are considered the most powerful crime syndicate in Georgia.
== History ==
While it's never known, Alan Bennett (an influential crime lord) has managed to form a large crime family in Georgia, having managed to force the 3 original crime families (the O'Millers, the Drifters, and the O'Malleys) out of the country (which is false and that he helped built them up with financial backing) and took control over their lost territories. However, Duke, Ralph, and William (his sons) took full control of his crime syndicate after going on vacation (his fate is unknown) and renamed it from the Bennett Syndicate to the Red Order. 
As of 2039, The Red Order Syndicate managed to rise up to become the most powerful crime syndicate in Columbus, having large numbers of territories and rackets across the state of Georgia and under Duke's command, has managed to be part of the Underworld, a network of the most feared crime families throughout the United States. The Red Order managed to make all of their major profits through illegal gambling, prostitution, loan-sharking, money-laundering, smuggling, extortion, and even dealing in both weapons and narcotics (notably heroin and cocaine). 
The Red Order also paid off most of the police force, politicians, and city officials, giving them and the Underworld their own state while under the guise of the public by owning several businesses that operated as their major fronts.
Despite their superior equipment and numbers, the Red Order was disbanded with all members and its leaders killed and its remnants are quickly usurped by Dominick Smith (a former enforcer) before they were once again wiped out.
== Background ==
Most (if not all) of the members worked for Duke Bennett and are shown to be fiercely loyal to him to a degree, having helped him support his goals of dominating Georgia. All members of the Red Order are usually seen wearing designer suits and are one of the well-equipped crime syndicates that Jay Roberts has faced so far until later. 
Most members usually employ special forces training and experience (given the fact they're trained by Royce Talbot, an ex-SAS operator) to their advantage to confound and outmatch their rivals. They're capable of displaying military tactics and acrobatics to be better able to beat their rivals. 
Before later factions began to take on the power vacuum, the Red Order (before their near disbandment) were the most dangerous faction Jay ever faced because most members were ex-military and their tactics and vast numbers made them more formidable.
In the Red Order, there are 3 types of members:
* Enforcers - The first rank of Red Order members. Duke usually employed them to do small-time jobs and protection. They're usually seen wearing sports clothes and leather jackets. They're not as combat-trained or well-armed, making them easier to dispatch. They're mainly led by Dominick Smith upon Duke's death.
* Standard - The second rank of Red Order members. Duke mainly employed them to do most, if not all, of the combat-related and administrative jobs throughout the organization. They're usually seen wearing designer suits (black jackets/pants, white shirts, and red ties), which gave them a more professional appearance for deception. They're well-trained but weren't as well-armed. They're mainly led by Royce Talbot.
* Elite - The final rank of Red Order members. Duke and Royce mainly employed them to do protection and almost all of their dirty work. While most members (such as Johns) wore suits, a significant portion (like Sgt. Bell) of the Elites wore parts, if not all, of tactical gear (khaki cargo pants, tactical polo shirts, combat boots, balaclavas, etc) to look more professional and formidable. Like the standard members, the Elites are well-armed and well-trained, and given their special forces training, the Elites are more dangerous to Jay Roberts, giving him a bit of a challenge since they're on par with him in terms of combat proficiency. They're mainly led by Capt. Johns until his demise and are led by Talbot.
