The Underworld

== The Underworld ==
"The Underworld? You do realize that you're not dealing with trigger-happy fanatics or terrorists, but a massive network of the most respected and feared criminal organizations that somehow managed to work together for profits. Don't be alarmed, they will kill each other if a reason comes up, but otherwise.... the Underworld is stuck together like glue, swallowing their hatred of one another for the money. Human trafficking, organ trade, arms deals, extortion, you name it, they're in it deeply." - Agent Wade Bryan to Jay about the Underworld's true power 
The Georgia Criminal Syndicate (infamously known as the Underworld) is the main antagonistic faction throughout the entire Reboot timeline and its spinoffs. The Underworld is a large criminal network that governs and oversees the most respected and feared criminal organizations in the United States. While it's never known about its leader, it's hinted that an individual who goes by "Mr. Under" is the main founder and it was led by a council. 
The Underworld's council holds 20 seats, each often owned by a family. They're considered to be the most ultimate authority and are respected and feared by all, including Jay Roberts himself (who's fighting against them). They have managed to pay off police forces, politicians, bureaucrats, and other rival gangs and have them under their control, making them virtually untouchable.
The Reaper is the main agent and enforcer of the Underworld and has the authority to adjudge and harm anyone, even the high-ranking officials themselves that dare to challenge and threaten the Underworld.
== History ==
While its history isn't revealed or shown, it's hinted that almost all of the criminal organizations (cartels, street gangs, and mafia families) have banded together out of necessity and knowing that they (as a cohesive unit) would make lots and lots of money together, all of the bosses and their council managed to create what is now known as the Underworld.
Throughout the entire United States, the Underworld managed to take over Georgia completely and paid off its political and police presence, giving them complete control over the state and turning it into their own sovereign state. However, The Underworld has quickly been dismantled with its leaders killed or imprisoned and its rackets eliminated by one man.
== Background ==
All members of the Underworld are known for their large numbers and political influence across the country. According to Mr. Under, the Underworld has managed to take over Georgia as its own narco-state. However, the Underworld has a vast arsenal of military-grade hardware and a fully formed private army that Mr. Under can send if things were to go wrong. In the Raider Reloaded series, the Underworld sent in 10 squads and the Reaper to take out Jay Roberts, which hints that the Underworld can utilize anything at its disposal when a crime syndicate grew too powerful or a threat becomes a problem in their operations, as revealed by Beaver.
The Underworld has 4 ranks within its network:
* Enforcer: The Underworld's first rank of soldiers. They're seen wearing sports clothes and street clothes (such as leather jackets, polo shirts, jeans, and tennis shoes). They lack combat experience and training.
* Elite: The Underworld's second rank of soldiers. They're seen wearing gear to make them look like soldiers (such as bulletproof vests, helmets, boots, and gloves) and they're shown to have combat experience.
* Marksmen: The Underworld's third rank of soldiers. They wear tactical clothing, boonie hats, and rifles to outshoot their enemies. They're known for perching on rooftops and in windows.
* Heavy: The Underworld's fourth rank of soldiers. They're seen wearing improvised heavy ballistic armor suits and using heavier weaponry, such as LMGs, grenade launchers, and mounted weaponry.

== Trivia ==

* The Underworld might be based on the Commission and some military branches, given that some gang members and its leaders are ex-military.
* With a few paramilitary gangs, the Underworld has been the most wanted organization and is considered by the United States to be a highly dangerous organization that needed to dismantle.
