Trash Lords

A **Trash Lord** is a high ranking member of the League of Trash. They have gained control of various territory around the world. The first Trash Lord to be featured in the *Trash Video Series*, Trash Lord Colombo, has major control over most of Africa, along with some of the Balkans region of Europe. In total, according to Black Mamba sources, there were 5 major Trash Lords around the world at once. 3 of these 5 have been defeated. Colombo, and the mysterious Trash Lord Deus are the only two left by the time of Trash Video 7.

## Origin

The origin of the Trash Lords comes from an unknown ancient source in the Levant. This source had given the Trash Lords their power for thousands of years, and generation after generation would have to visit this source once in their lifetime. However, this travel to the Levant disappeared during the Medieval Period, which saw the Crusades, expansion of the Ottoman Empire and infighting between various ethnic groups in the region. All of these Trash Lords went into hiding. However, one Trash Lord Cornelius appeared in Colonial North America, where he attacked settlements in New England and on Long Island. Cornelius was killed in the American Revolution. Following his death, his small group of followers left North America, travelling to various parts of the world. After a violent storm killed an overwhelming majority of his followers, this left 5 people alive. One would go to Brazil, present-day South Africa, China, France and present-day Israel. However, the one that would go to Israel, declared himself the leader of all of the Trash Lords and Gatherers.

Records of these Trash Lords after the separation decrease, as they began to amass their own followers. These followers were called the Trash Gatherers, and today, they number around 100, down from 186 (one representing each country). The Gatherers report to the Trash Lords. The Gatherer operates various Trash Prisons in their country, and serve usually from the time their 18 until death. One example of a Trash Gatherer is the Trash Gatherer of Uganda, who was killed by Brett in *Trash Video 5*. He reported to Trash Lord Colombo, and served under him until his death.

## Operations

Besides the Head Trash Lord (Trash Lord Deus), the duties of a Trash Lord include keeping control of their various territory by locking up people in their prisons. This provides with League of Trash with workers, along with ransom in case the local government gets involved with their operations. The only country where these prisons do not exist is Israel, which were all found and raided by Israeli Special Forces during the Yom Kippur War. All Trash Lords live in a Palace in their country of origin. Trash Lord Colombo lives in a palace in Cape Town, South Africa where he bases his operations out of. Along with this, he also has a prison in his cellar.

For the Head Trash Lord, or whichever Trash Lord is based out of the Levant region, they are the head of government & state for anyone living under control of the League of Trash. They typically travel throughout the year to visit various nations to keep the power of the other 4 Trash Lords in control.
