The Drifter Crime Family is a major antagonistic faction of both timelines. 
Led by former paramilitary/Cosa Nostra boss Payne K. Drifter, the Drifter Crime Family is an Italian-American criminal organization that was part of the original 3 Underworld families and served as the main antagonists of the Original timeline.
== History ==
The Drifter Crime Family was founded by Payne Drifter, who managed to take over Cosa Nostra by wiping out its hierarchy undetected and taking control of its territories with ease. Moving to the United States, Payne managed to form his family in Columbus and aligned with the Underworld as its primary leader.
They dealt with loan-sharking, extortion, smuggling, illegal gambling, money laundering, robbery, racketeering, fencing, and theft.
== Background ==
All members of the family are seen wearing typical mobster clothing and their strong Italian accents.
There is 2 ranks of the Drifter Crime Family:
* Standard: The 1st rank of the family. They're seen wearing button-up shirts with jeans or designer suits to blend in with the public. They're not well-armed or well-trained but are capable of holding their own.
* Elite: The 2nd rank of the family. They're seen wearing t-shirts and olive cargo pants with tactical gear to look more professional and intimidating. Given the fact that they're former members of Payne's old unit, they're well-trained and well-armed to handle combat.
