Gangs

## Animal Liberation Front

Common called ALF, they are the violent, no-nonsense stepchild of PETA—preferring to use pipe bombs over protests to destroy animal testing labs, underground fighting rings, and other frequent animal abusers. True numbers are unknown, and their targets vary throughout the city with one goal in mind: end animal abuse by any means necessary.

## Kelleher Crime Family

An old Irish mafia with deep ties to the weapons and manufacturing industries, as well as roots in the Merit City financial district and their equivalent of wall-street. They rule over Uptown's financial and industrial districts. Currently run by Rory Johnson after his adopted son, Ira, initiated a hostile takeover.

## Fifth Block

Also know as 'Bloody Fifth' or 'Blockers'. Involved in Money Laundering, Murder, Intimidation and Robbery. Often used for security by other gangs during smuggling due to their violent reputation and close proximity/designated turf in lower Midtown ports. Located primarily around the Narrows, Fort Clinton, and Cobble Hill (Midtown/Downtown). Nothing is shipped through the Narrows that the Bloody Fifth isn't watching. (Largely disbanded and absorbed by other gangs)

## Glass Slipper

An up and coming gang rising from the ranks of weaker crews or leaderless crews in Fifth Block and others. Said to be run by the Queen of the Fairies herself and has gathered a small cult following. Currently engaged in a turf war with Fifth Block as they seek to take over the smuggling business themselves. (Now Defunct)

## The Guild

A gambling ring that grew from betting on the growing live show e-sports phenomenon. Have been known to arrange games at times in more local venues, and have started growing to influencing larger league games. (Now Defunct)

## Ah Kong Tong

Chinese-American gang with roots from early immigrants coming together for survival. Have a chokehold on Chinatown in Uptown as well as Old Chinatown in Downtown. Lead by Leon Kong, who took over after murdering his former leader and grandfather, Ho Sin Kong.

## The Strauss Family

A quiet gang residing within Red Hook that trends towards distribution of narcotics and manpower. Their members have been seen taking wayward souls under their wing to turn them into respectable individuals and work for them in one way or another. Currently headed by Richter Strauss and his adoptive twin children, Gina and Michael Strauss.

## speakeasy

Small-time gangsters running tricks in West Side. Largely underground gambling and bum fights it seems, but rumors are they're trying to move up and have been looking to kiss up to the Ah Kong Tong

## Neo Yaku

New-wave Yakuza making a stake in various uptown businesses and real estate developments. Also run weapons. Competition for the munitions and financial gang the Kelleher's. Has no alliances and seeks to play their own game.

## Hacksaws

Body collectors that work the black market for selling corpses, body parts, and other biological needs. Also run a body disposal unit for hire out to various gangs, making them a largely neutral party. Still, they hold a monopoly on selling bodies and will do anything to make sure no competition pops up in their niche market

## NEON

After the end of the world a new organization has emerged: EON. Not to be confused with EON, this organization was the brainchild of former agent Kevin, Helene's right hand. They single-handedly brought about the end of America by releasing fear gas nationwide then revealing EO existence, bringing about total chaos and destruction. Their goals are to create a world for everyone, when in truth they just seek chaos and anarchy. Most members are misguided college students or dangerous criminals with no regard for anything.
