The Usual Suspects in Dark Chicago

“This city don’t run on gears, kid—it runs on grudges, debts, and names you oughta remember.”

Welcome to The Usual Suspects—the ones pulling triggers, calling shots, or just trying to survive the slow grind of Dark Chicago. Here you’ll find street crews hustling for turf, aldermen greasing palms, and everyday citizens caught in the crossfire. Some want power, some want peace, and some just want to make it to payday without getting swallowed by the Veil or worse.

The guys at the social club handling your debt, the hoods down the block hassling your kid brother or the gangsters in city hall that you have to grovel to (and bribe) to get that damn pothole filled. You need to know who runs things around here.

Not every player in this city carries a switchblade—but that don’t mean they’re harmless. Cops, reporters, ward heelers, school teachers, and barkeeps—every one of 'em's got a stake in the game, and a few know how to play it better than the wiseguys.

The gangs run corners. These folks run the city. Ward bosses, union heads, and quiet men with deep pockets—they don’t need guns to get what they want. Power here ain't loud. It’s organized, smiling, and always one step ahead.

“Keep your head down and your ears open—everybody here’s someone to somebody, and nobody’s harmless.”
