E.C. - Minor Gangs

THE KINGS

The Kings are an outlaw motorcycle club with many chapters in the United States and overseas. The Emerald City faction of the club, or charter, is relatively small but still presents a problematic criminal force within the city. Members of the club wear an identifying patch featuring a crown above a crossed pair of rifles. The Kings are involved in drug manufacture and weapon trafficking operations, illegal prostitution and protection rackets, especially in rural areas. Their activities have brought them into conflict with The Golden Dragon Society and The Takazumi-gumi(organization:b326403e-3252-49c5-8236-23250e8b2dae) syndicates in the past. If and when the Kings come into conflict with the other gangs of Emerald City, the Kings are sure to call upon the support of other charters from the region, which could lead to problems for the police and locals. The Kings have a close working relationship with @[The Malakov Mafiya from whom they receive and distribute illegal Russian firearms.
The Kings have a small number of safe-houses scattered throughout the city and surrounding suburbs, but they operate from a primary headquarters in Southern Shore, a clubhouse adjacent to the Long Auto Mechanic Shop, which is owned by Nick Long, who is also the gang’s leader.

RED RIVER GANG

The Red River Gang is local street gang made up of disaffected youths who’ve banded together to get theirs any way they can. They have no interest in being a part of the system and work together to survive in a world that’s mistreated, abused, or ignored them since birth.
Most of the members are violent and mainly interested in looking out for themselves, but they also realize there’s strength in numbers. Their territory runs along the Red River (hence their name) and they defend it from encroachment by other gangs with easy violence.
Unlike other gangs, the Red River Gang isn’t a powerful underworld presence, nor does it (necessarily) have access to super-powered help. Instead, it’s a street-level gang that runs drugs, terrorizes neighborhood businesses, commits muggings, recruits more and more kids, and generally causes trouble for anyone who doesn’t belong on their turf.

THE WOLVES

The Wolves are a small Emerald City motorcycle club that formed before the Kings chapter arrived in the city. Originally the two clubs had an antagonistic relationship, often being at odds with each other in regards to criminal activities and territory. Violent outbursts between the club’s members were a common occurrence, particularly in bars and clubs when the two groups happened upon each other. Being the smaller club with no allies to call upon, the Wolves have had to become very careful about their operations, which mostly involve the manufacture and distribution of narcotics. Members of the Wolves know to keep a low profile, so they rarely come into conflict with other gangs anymore, but when they do, they show up in number and have a reputation for incredible violence. The Wolves’ leader, Taylor Black, encourages the excessive violence because it keeps his customers paying and makes the other gangs think twice before interfering with his operations. Black also likes to strongly imply the gang has connections to wolf-men and other creatures that live in the forests surrounding Emerald City. Whether or not the association is true is unknown, but some people talk as if the bloody reputation of the gang is due to their ability to bring in supernatural backup when they need it.
The Wolves operate out of a nightclub on The Riverfront called The Den. Members of the gang wear a patch featuring a snarling wolf’s head with unfurled bat wings on either side.
