Criminal Organizations

Crime exists in the world of 2032, people still feel desperation or want things they can’t get through normal means or feel pushed into circumstances that force them to act against the prevailing law. Just now some of those criminals have access to Elite abilities.

One of the more dominant criminal groups are the Brass Orchid Triad, operating out of southeast Asia and northern Africa in the wake of the grand migration during the Chinese-American War. The Brass Orchid Triad were quick to incorporate Elites into their ranks and use that advantage to muscle out some of the more established groups and dominate the underworld. They have had less success in Japan but are giving the Yakuza a run for their money.

The Russian Mafia holds sway in Russia and eastern Europe with a strong presence in North America but have stiff competition from the local South American Cartels and Gangs. Fearing the strength of the Brass Orchid Triad and the Russian Mafia the Americas have united under the banner of the Iron Creed, a loose affiliation of cartels and organized criminal outfits banding together to protect their turf.

One of the newest groups came about after the fall of the Congo Democratic Protectorate or CDP, the Mokele Mbembe. They have advanced technology that is suspected to have come from the now dismantled CDP military, Mokele Mbembe have proven themselves one part ruthless criminal outfit, another part mercenary/terrorist group operating with impunity around the world. Mokele Mbembe can appear anywhere and seem allied to no one, unless someone is willing to pay their exorbitant contracting fees.

In the last few months, a movement has been growing online and across western nations, a criminal movement called the Bone Thugs Necro-Mafia. Centered around a charismatic leader and elite named A Lich called Bonespike, you have to say the whole thing. This elite just seemed to appear and has brought in several disaffected youths and dominating gangs with powerful abilities that allow them to manipulate the dead beings, a rare gift for elites. They made a name for themselves when they intercepted a transport and freed the criminal elite known as the Necro-Dancer. Of course, there are also rumors that neither is truly an elite but actually super powered beings from another universe and may even have a way to travel between the two.

Operating out of the CITADEL of Frankie is a thriving black-market network of Frankies and allies across many universes to move illegal goods, well illegal in their home dimensions, across multiple realities. They call themselves the Silk Road and have a centralized leadership of Frankies and other multi dimensional beings, but the most visible member is Gobo-Frankie, one of the primary architects of the Citadel.
