**The Gangsters** is the titular group of the series, and are the main protagonists. It was founded by former archons Venti and Zhongli, formerly led by the Pyro Demi-Archon, who gave the leadership to Josh after the events of Wave: The Shadows Amidst Snowstorms. After his death, they disregarded a leader and focused on collaborating within themselves to solve issues rather than leaving it to one person.

They are Teyvat's official defenders and most formidable warriors, being the strongest group of individuals in Teyvat.

Their headquarters is The Gangsters Facility, a flying mountain in-between Mondstadt, Liyue and Inazuma on the sea side, seen with a large window in the interior. It has teleporters to all of the nations and rooms for every Gangster, powered by the Space Stone. After it is destroyed by Asmoday, it is replaced with The Gangsters Observatory.

It was said that if all seven demi-archons were too band together, they would become an unstoppable force. That came true with the profound and powerful Gangsters. They were made with one purpose, to bring balance to Teyvat and eliminate all physical threats to it. Their job even expands outwards to other foreign places if Teyvat threats affect it too.

All of the Gangsters are immensely strong and often split apart to achieve their own tasks with themselves or another. However, times where a cataclysmic threat attacks Teyvat or surpasses the power of all of them combined (Ex. Thanos, Dharkon) will require all demi-archons on set. They usually all fight together and rarely fight alone. They either all fight together, are in their sub-groups or with their allied allogenes.

In the Alternate Timeline, All of the Gangsters are killed by Galeem Asmoday. The only Demi-Archon who survived was Ahad, who trained the Demi-Archon's offspring and made them all learn how to use breathing styles. Lim Kyojiro, Kamisato Ajuro, Hu Yui and Kaedehara Haku are the only ones left from the desolated timeline.

### Gangster Sub-Groups

When threats force The Gangsters to work in different groups, they split into sub-groups to accomplish this. They cooperate in groups which the individuals are closely affiliated with, examples being with their significant other or with their best friends. Not all gangsters are in sub-groups but prove to synergize with an another gangster nonetheless. These sub-group names are codenames all of the gangsters came up with.

##### **Demon Trio**

The **Demon Trio** is a powerful sub-group that consists of Jack, Ahad and Gabe. Due to the three of them being extremely close best friends, All three of them have the most synergetic energy out of all of the Gangsters, making them the easiest to work together and cooperate in combat.

While also carrying the Will of E, Their dynamic of combating enemies together showed how well they can act as a vanguard on the front lines against them. Incorperating their transformations, They are easily the strongest sub-group in the series, with their biggest feat holding down a full power Galeem Asmoday and effortlessly beating down a full power Shouki No Kami in their Bankai.

##### **Reaper Duo**

The **Reaper Duo** consists of Gabe and Hu Tao. Knowing their strengths and synergy, both of them recognize their combat abilities in which they invent the Reaper techniques, which are combination attacks that involve Gabe and Hu Tao using their unique abilities in tangent with the other, creating devastating attacks.

Together, they were able to defeat the rebellious former Dendro Demi-Archon twice, and combat Missile Maestro.

##### **Sakura Duo**

The **Sakura Duo** are the most arranged duo in the series, coming together to combat enemies the most out of all sub-groups. This duo consists of Josh and Ayaka. The pair of Gangsters understand each other more than anyone in their group, leading to the best synergy and combination attacks they have to offer.

Both of them were able to overcome the likes of Metallix twice and even Scaramouche. Despite their elements, weapons and combat styles are not seen as well-coordinated, they were able to overcome this, having Ayaka's blade's sharpness and swiftness as a parallel to Josh's blunt and destructive weapons.

* **Decisive Trio -** The **Decisive Trio** is made up of Josh, Ayaka and Ahad, and they are essentially a more advanced team of the Sakura Duo, building up and improving their synergy and technique with Ahad's skill being parallel to that of Ayaka. They bested both Childe and Fanged Fastener.

**Genshin Trio**

The **Genshin Trio** are the very last frontline of The Gangsters, as this sub-group is only arranged when all Demi-Archons are on standby or out of commission and they desperately need combatants against a very large threat. Consisting of Ayaka, Hu Tao and Tartaglia, this trio proved to be competent, holding back a heavily weakened Galeem Asmoday and were able to hold off Bio-Balladeer for an extended period of time.

### Allied Allogene Groups

The Gangsters have fought with other allogenes that they have allied with in the past, cooperating with them to overthrow their common enemy. It wasn't common for them to fight with others who aren't in The Gangsters, and were even competent enough to contend with the likes of the Reaper and Sakura Duos.

##### **Crux Duo**

The Crux Duo is the team formed by Sofia and Kazuha.

##### **Auratus Duo**

The Auratus Duo is the formation of Jack and Yoimiya.

## Trivia

-The Gangsters, while protecting the land and carry out regulations to save others, aren't controlled by any law or governing bodies, causing them to be a free group. This caused controversy amongst Teyvat's society, with many viewing them as heroes, villains, but mostly as vigilantes. Despite their immense help in protecting and saving Teyvat numerous times, they have a mixed reputation from Teyvat's citzens.

-Like how all regions have their own ideals (For example Mondstadt is freedom), The Gangsters ideal is "balance."

-While Jack, Josh and Gabe do not live in the Facility, Ahad and Joe do.

-Gabe's synergy is better with Hu Tao then it is with Jack and Ahad.

-The Gangsters Facility was materially created by Josh, while Zhongli, Joe and the Quantums focused on the interiors. It was made in-between the events of The Gangsters 2 and 3.

-The Gangsters Facility is based around the main building in Celestia.
