Vas Comorah

The Vas Camorah (dwarven for “Our Family”) are a powerful criminal gang headquartered in Bastion City. Their exploits range from drug dealing to child trafficking, and their influence extends even into the Aradian Industrial Worker's Party in government, with many believing that MP Cormoran Yaxley has betrayed the revolution by being in their pocket. 
Comorah men are distinguishable by the wode-like blue tattoos over their right eye, dwarven runes denoting accomplishment and achievements by the soldier in question. Some longer-serving members have more elaborate tattoos that cover their whole faces.
== History ==
The roots of the Comorah stretch back hundreds of years to the mining worker’s unions formed by the dwarves in the Obscura mountains, which spread south as a result of trade; following on from the ascension of monarchy in the late 1010s, when power began to secede from small petty lords thus leaving them with less martial power causing an uptick in banditry, the unions of doughty dwarves were occasionally called upon to protect lands that the Monarch’s blackjackets could not reach--and as time went on, they absorbed the bandit gangs as well and soon became an organized criminal cartel. 
The Comorah remained a relatively underground organization until the Brecilidian Rebellion and Queen Talia's failing health in the 1070s caused the realm to destabilize, causing a huge surge in criminal activity, with the Comorah at its head. The family set themselves up at the major trading ports of Bastion City and Dunhammer, digging into the weakened cities' underbellies like leeches, remaining intractably entrenched there ever since.
== Organization ==
The Comorah's leader is called the Overboss. The position is has been filled since the late 1060s by Giovanni the White Whale, a veteran dwarf gangster known for his voracious greed. He has a grandson, Varluccio, who was fathered by the Dark Prince; Giovanni confronted Edmund angrily upon learning of his daughters accusation of manipulation, whereupon Edmund drew his blue blade Drakalibur and proceed to murder every single one of Giovanni’s guards and hack off Giovanni’s own legs. Years later Giovanni has become so grotesquely obese from his gluttony and immobility, that he requires machinery to move; he loathes the Blackthornes intensely, and will take any opportunity to lay them low.
Ordinary rank-and-file junior members of the Comorah are called Soldiers, co-ordinated by a select group of commanders known as Kappo-Rejiim. Those involved in the org's dealings without being recognized as full members are termed as mere Associates. There is an element of favouritism among the Comorah's structure; while they associate with humans and Orcs alike, dwarves are considered to be the only "trueblooded" members of the family, the only ones that can become "made men" and therefore are far more likely to ascend to higher positions in the command structure. The process of being "made" is performed in an elaborate ceremony where the member receives a unique addition to their forehead tattoo that denotes their status.
