## Overview

Drown was a lieutenant of the Dryden Gang, and a trusted associate of Rabe Maniels. He was trusted enough by Maniels to appear in some of his productions. Drown was later revealed to be an informer for the Federal Bureau of Investigation. and was feeding information about the two gangs to the Feds. Drown was later executed by the Bikers Gang after they discovered his status as an informer through contacts in the Bureau. Prior to his death, Drown was also involved with The Lost Episode Resistance, but did not snitch on them to the Feds like he did with Maniels and Dryden.

## Early Life And Joining The Government

Glancy Drown was born in Empire Bay at the Empire General Hospital in 1959. He moved to Washington DC at some point in 1984 where he joined the FBI as an undercover operative. He became known as a master of undercover work, and Glancy was able to personally dismantle the Wilson Boys a criminal outlaw gang that was active in Empire Bay during the 1990's. The gang's leader Oliver Wilson was given life behind bars as a result of Glancy's work, and was said to be out for Glancy's blood even as late as 2019. As the years passed, Glancy became a highly respected and decorated agent and became part of the FBI's organised crime division, and he became interested in the criminal workings of London after receiving a tip from one of his informers about all the gang violence going down there. Glancy however kept his ties to the government very hush hush, and this was done so that he could work undercover more successfully.

## The Big Assignment

At some point in late 2018, Glancy was tasked with going into London by the FBI in order to map out the city's criminal underworld. Glancy was set up in an apartment building with a black room. Dave Norton was Glancy's primary handler for the case although he also reported to fellow agent Mak Dalton. Glancy established himself on the streets as an enforcer for hire. Through the use of informants and survelience, Glancy was able to become wary of low level players such as Derek Barrel a corrupt union boss, Captain Birdseye a back alley gunsmith, and Danny Vizier an auto body shop owner with mob connections. Glancy did a lot of work with the Sterners a street gang that are involved in street races. After winning a street race, Glancy and his new found friends in the Sterners headed to Danny Vizier's shop in order to get Glancy a brand new pair of wheels. Vizier offered Glancy work, and tasked Glancy with exploding a rival auto body shop ran by Dean Cumanno. The car factory explosion infuriates Norton who warns Glancy not to step out of line and remember his ties to the government. Norton threatens to remove Glancy from his undercover duties if he does anything else against quota. Glancy however maintained in his reports that this was his attempt to keep cover as reluctance might make people suspect something is off. Glancy assisted Danny Vizier with stealing a truck carrying four sports cars that were going to Mikhail Faustin a paranoid Russian mob boss, and after doing this job Glancy was introduced by Vizier to Ray Boccino a Dryden Gang Caporegime. Boccino tasked Glancy with stealing and stripping a luxury car belonging to Salvatore Maranzalla. Glancy does it with ease, and the very pleased Boccino introduces Glancy to his bosses Granny Dryden and Frank Vinci. While Dryden was very warm and welcoming, Vinci was rude and dismissive and according to Glancy's report, he treated him like dirt. Boccino personally vouched for Glancy and Dryden (against Vinci's wishes) happily accepted Glancy into her organisation as a trusted soldier. Glancy rose up the ranks quickly to become Boccino's lieutenant. He becomes a loose cannon however as he becomes far more willingly to parcipiate in criminal acts, and begins working for The Dryden Gang as their debt collector even getting his own lockup in Alantic Quays. Glancy was trusted and respected enough by Dryden to be introduced to her business partner Rabe Maniels. Maniels employed Drown as an actor and had Drown appear in several of his lost media productions. Norton was doubtful when Drown reported to him that the Prime Minister was a crime boss. Glancy learned that his two bosses suspected that there was a rat after one of Dryden's mint sauce trucks was raided by a group of cops. Drown was able to pin the blame on Maniels' driver Sergio Capaletti. Drown personally murdered Capaletti, which earned him further prestige and respect.

## Death

Ray Boccino was conducting clandestine drug deals, and he ordered Glancy to deal heroin with his business partners in the Biker Gang. Glancy performed the deal with the gang's leader Hudge, and although the deal goes successfully one of Glancy's handlers Mak decides to double cross him. Mak believes that Blancy is using his undercover duties and immunity just to do drug deals with biker gangs. Mak leaked Glancy's role as an informant over to Hudge. Infuriated, Hudge and his boys plotted revenge. Notso Hott headed to Lincoln Park to see Glancy, and he saw Glancy getting dragged across the park by Hudge's motorbike. He was tied to the back of the bike while Hudge rode him around brutally dismembering him as a result. Glancy's death was avenged shortly after by Notso who killed Glancy's killers even after Hudge explained his reasons for killing Glancy.

## Aftermath

Following Glancy's death, Notso is expelled from school for wiping out the Bikers Gang with headteacher Dr Crabblesnitch confirming Hudge's allegation that Drown was a rat. It is also then revealed that Drown was also an informer for the Lost Episode Resistance. The news of Glancy being a federal informant is what leads to Maniels and Frank Vinci losing trust in Dryden, and they start planning things without her. They begin to realise Dryden has terrible judgement especially when she refuses to believe Drown was an informant. Drown's death also ultimately results in Ray Boccino joining up with the Resistance due to Vinci and Maniels thinking he was also an informer especially since Boccino had been the first one to vouch for Glancy.
