The Five Families of Crooks' Creek are a collection of criminal syndicates permeating the social fabric of Crooks' Creek, insidiously controlling the over and underworlds of the area, like puppetmasters to unknowing marionettes.
The Families[edit | edit source]
The families are, as follows:
- "Long Gun" Lucky's Looters, known for their lavish, high-roller casinos,
- "Big & Tall" Barone's Busters, known for their designer boutiques and stylish wardrobes,
- "Greener & Greedier" Craggy's Crew, known for being the quickest, quality odd-jobs in town, This used to be "Green & Greedy" Graggy's Grunts, but due to an attack against the Families, the former head Graggy passed and replaced with his son, Craggy, to everyone's displeasure.
- "Lightning Limb" Pronto's Punks, known for having the deepest fingers in the coffers of local business, and
- "Ol' Dirty" Cali's Cheats, known for their heavy influence within the black markets and especially their illicit substances from across the realm.
Behind the Screen[edit | edit source]
If it isn't obvious, the Five Families of Crooks' Creek are drawn from La Cosa Nostra, specifically the Five Families in the New York City area.
