**Bang Boys Syndicate** **(BBS)** or simply the **Bang Boys**, also known as **The Syndicate (SYN)**, is a gang founded by **Irwin Dundee.** The Syndicate is currently based out of the Vespucci Canals and drives the Yosemite Rancher as their club car. They are most well known for their extensive usage of baseball bats as weapons as opposed to guns.

## History

### Forged In Fire

The group first formed in March 2023 as a pseudo-cult called **The Fire**. **Irwin Dundee** was known as "The Father of the Flame." Their mission was to destroy then-Police Commissioner **Sam Baas** and then-Mayor **Lang Buddha**. Their base of operations was located in the abandoned subway tunnels under MRPD, where they plotted to take down and dismantle the government by blowing up MRPD and the courthouse. Full members were blooded in by being "burnt in" to the group by the Fire. Those Blood-Ins transferred over when they reformed as a gang in July 2023.

### The Syndicate Aflame

On the 4th of July, 2023, **The Syndicate** began a new chapter, formally reforming as a gang. Dundee named his OG members as: **Tommy Puff**, **Aziz Abdallah**, **Jacobi Everett, and** **Elena Taylor**. They chose a worn leather kutte for their aesthetic, as Dundee had always loved the look of leather.

Once **Dundee** declared **The Fire** a motor club, he began rapidly expanding the group beyond its first five members. In just ten days, he had amassed a group ten members strong.

**Mikey "Cooper" Silver**, then a member of the **Vagos**, invited Dundee to do a vault with him. On the way to meet Cooper, Dundee called a member of the **BBMC** named **Benny Razer** he told him about a freelancer named **Wayne Freeman** who was confident on hacking the vault. Mikey and Wayne continued assisting Dundee with jobs and police chases. A few days later, on the 10th of July 2023, Mikey told the Vagos that he "was done with the life." As he was shot and blooded out by the El Jefe, **Juan Cuervo**, the rest of the Vagos behind him shot down Juan and his Vice El Jefe, **Lex Dyminz**, sparking a Vagos Civil War. **Lucas "Wolfy" Frank** chose to leave the Vagos with him and join Dundee.

A day or so after the vault with Mikey, Dundee asked for help while being chased by the police, and with good comms everyone involved got away. That's how Dundee met **Jacob Cass**, then a member of the **Saints**. Previously, Jacob had been a member of **The Collective Family**, led by a former BBMC Hangaround named **Asher Brown**. Asher didn't like Dundee and threw dirt on his name, But after Jacob spoke with Dundee, he saw a different side to him. Jacob decided to put it all in the past and start anew. A couple of days later, Dundee and Jacob spoke again about his frustrations in the Saints. At the end, Dundee said, "If you ever need a place to stay, there's a place in hell with me." The Saints were furious when Jacob told them he had been hanging out with Dundee and was considering leaving. As they confronted him, Jacob boasted, "Now you all are probably thinking, 'Oh he's just gonna go leave and join Dundee's crew.' Well no, because I already *did* join Dundee's crew." On the 15th of July 2023, Jacob was blooded out of the Saints by being blown up in Legion Square, just like Dundee had been blown up by the BBMC six months earlier.

Dundee received a mysterious text message while in prison from his son **Channing "Chain" Turner**, who he thought had died in an orgy nine months earlier. It turns out, Chain was stranded on a nearby island, after having been island-hopping for months. On the 7th of July, 2023, Dundee and Chain were reunited. But Chain, a Patched Member of the BBMC, wanted to speak to the leader and tell him about his decision to leave the club. Dundee begged him not to, as he feared for his life. But on the 8th of July 2023, Chain went to speak to PM **Barry Benson**. The conversation led to him being shot and ocean dumped, as Barry formally Blooded him out. Dundee was upset that his son had lost his memories and no longer remembered him. Chain told him he had no one but his family, and begged Dundee to give him a chance. Dundee took him under his wing and brought him into the family.

Dundee spoke with **Lilith Fulker**, who felt betrayed by her former group, the **HOA**. He convinced her that she could have a second chance with his crew. On the 24th of July, 2023 Lilith joined SYN, excited for a new opportunity to create chaos in the city.

### Move to Vespucci Canals

With permission from **Hydra Gang** and with **Mr. Kebun** as the realtor, the Syndicate sold their houses in **Marabunta Grande** turf (Armadillo Vista) and moved into Hydra turf (Vespucci Canals) on the 23rd of July 2023.

The triplex building Hydra approved for them to purchase sits at the corner of Prosperity Street and Imagination Court. Dundee purchased Imagination Court 7, the bottom apartment, and Jacob purchased Imagination Court 8, on the upper floor, with access to the rooftop for meetings. Imagination Court 9, next to Jacob's apartment, was purchased by Tommy, and has a meeting room for the club. They named their new turf **The Coolabah**, after the Australian eucalyptus tree of the same name.

### The Breakup

Dundee was having difficulties leading the group. He and Tommy were fighting, with Dundee saying that Lilith was more his right-hand man than Tommy.

In November 2023, the gang asked ex-EMS **Shay Flynn** to join the gang, after she blew up MRPD for them following the Sanguine War. Dissention began among the ranks. She caused issues with their gun and drug connect, **Pigeon**, as prior beef she had with him led to her beating him with a bat and him shooting her down on the BBS turf in retaliation. Cooper didn't like Shay and it eventually culminated in him kidnapping, drugging and shooting her on the 8th of December 2023. When the group confronted and handcuffed him, Cooper said, "I guess me shooting her is me leaving."

Meanwhile, Wayne and Shay said that while they loved Dundee, they were unhappy that he kept saying he didn't believe in the gang. Jacob said Dundee's obsession with the past was leading to his destruction of the future. Jacob decided to return to the Saints and Wayne and Shay left with him on the same day as Cooper. Jacob and Cooper would shoot up the Bang Boys three days later in the middle of a meeting. Dundee announced he was leaving the city and returning to Australia. The group was disbanded on the 11th of December 2023.

## Wars

### War with the Lost MC

Tensions had been brewing with the **Lost MC** for weeks, ever since the group first formed. They had a brawl at the comedy club on the 15th of July 2023, after Road Captain **Hubcap Jones**, Dundee's former father-in-law, didn't appreciate their jokes about the Lost. SYN attended one of Hubcap's concerts at Tequila-la on the 27th of July 2023, and that led to another brawl. In retaliation, Lost Prospect **Brock Thompson** drove a tanker truck to **The Coolabah** in an attempt to blow it up. The Lost eventually caved, with Hubcap paying SYN $50,000 to end the war on the 28th of July 2023.

### Conflict against Rooster's Rest

Dundee declared war against **Rooster's Rest** on the 28th of July 2023, during an incident where SYN was attempting a devious lick to get free food. Jacob was shot down by a Rooster's security guard and in retaliation, SYN returned to shoot up the business. They were subsequently banned from Rooster's. SYN then stole an oil tanker truck and drove it into the front of Rooster's building, blowing up the vehicles in the parking lot. Dundee said: "War with the Rooster's Rest has begun!"

## Trivia

* The Bang Boys Syndicate does not have a blood-in and blood-out process. According to Dundee, membership is essentially voluntary and if a member wants to leave, a smooth transition will be arranged.
* The Bang Boys prefer using baseball bats, clubs, and other melee weapons rather than guns when committing crime. However they may use guns during gang wars.
* Capped "Pigeon" Tarranova provides a lot of supplies and assistance to the gang and is considered a friend and valued asset.
