LA COSA NOSTRA

Laden with traditions and codes, the La Cosa Nostra IS the Mafia.

With half the city’s officials and stars in their pocket, but less muscle than they once had, their path back to power will require more than just brute strength.

SOVIET DESERTERS

New to democracy, but not new to the game. They are convinced that the Red Circle serves only the syndicate that controls it.

Tough and volatile, the trials they face here are nothing compared to the horrors they escaped back home.

OUTLAWS & VETERANS

When the peace and love movement collided with the Vietnam war, a nomadic diesel tribe emerged. Their vigilante justice and drug running have caused them to clash with the other syndicates.

This will be their second meeting at the Red Circle, but at least one thing is clear: they hate the system.

A YAKUZA RUN BUSINESS

Expats from around the world without a moral compass to slow them down. They consider themselves to be the only ones with the aptitude necessary to oversee crime in the city, preferring to hire muscle when needed.

They have have one foot in a legitimate import business, which hides their illegitimate import business.

THE BIGGEST RACKET OF ALL

Undercover Cops and Investigative Journalists that have infiltrated the syndicates.

Some of these clowns are on the take, and others actually believe that taking down the Red Circle is a good idea. Can they achieve their goals before they are caught?

IRISH MOBSTERS

New to the Red Circle, but not to the game.

To the other gangs, crime is a game — but to this merry band of bootleggers and boxers, it’s a noble art. Their true enemy is and will always be the Crown, but they’ve always got time to make new ones.

Quick to make friends, and quick with their hands, the Fenian mutts are off the leash.
