Ember Fangs
The Ember Fangs are a bandit sub-faction in the Chernarus Wasteland, known for their unique blend of ruthless criminality and a vision for legitimate growth in the Chernorussian Zone. Led by the pragmatic and ambitious Konstantin, the faction stands apart from other gangs in their organizational structure, lofty goals, and internal conflicts, making them both a force to be reckoned with and a faction torn by contradictions.
The leader of the Ember Fangs, Konstantin Dragovich, is a Slavic man with a sharp mind for business and an ambition to rebuild Chernarus into a thriving society. Unlike the other eccentric members of the Wild Fang Council, Konstantin prioritizes stability and economic growth, which puts him at odds with many of his peers and even his own men. His pragmatic approach often clashes with the Zone's violent and chaotic nature, earning him both admiration and resentment within his ranks.
The Ember Fangs boast a well-organized hierarchy, populated by ex-military personnel and experienced Scavengers.
The Ember Fangs' home base, the Murghab Power Plant, is a symbol of pride and resilience. It is an oil-fired power plant that not only provides power to nearby villages but also serves as a strategic stronghold.
On September 26th, 2055, the Ember Fangs, alongside their rivals, the Frost Fangs, launched a siege on the capital city of Bala Murghab. Funded by the New Sun Syndicate, the operation targeted the Iron Hand, the reigning power in the city.

Base of Operations
Murghab Power Plant

History
The Siege of Bala Murghab
On September 26th, 2055, the Ember Fangs, alongside their rivals, the Frost Fangs, launched a siege on the capital city of Bala Murghab. Funded by the New Sun Syndicate, the operation targeted the Iron Hand, the reigning power in the city.
- Victory and Betraya: While the siege succeeded, the Frost Fangs suffered fewer losses than the Ember Fangs and invited the Military into the city afterward. This betrayal ignited a war between the two gangs.
- Military Takeover: Exploiting the weakened state of both factions, the Military expelled the Ember Fangs and seized control of the city, leaving the Fangs to retreat to their power plant base.
The defeat left the Ember Fangs weakened, with much of their former territory claimed by rival gangs.
Personality and Philosophy
The Ember Fangs embody a paradox of brutal gang warfare and idealistic ambitions.
- Dual Nature: Konstantin and his officers aspire to a better future for Chernarus, funding housing projects and infrastructure, yet their criminal activities and ruthlessness create contradictions within the group.
- Internal Conflict: This duality causes friction among their ranks and distrust from other factions, threatening their survival.
- Uncertain Future: Whether the Ember Fangs will transform the Zone for good or fade into obscurity remains to be seen.
