Rivolte (rih-VOHL-teh)
Structure
Rivolte is a crime syndicate/mob and its hierarchy reflects this. From highest to lowest:
- Head Boss & Right Hand Man
- Underboss
- Capo
- Sicari (Hitmen)
- Mafioso
Culture
Rivolte, despite technically being a mob, isn't entirely evil or good. It works on its own accords and the members of the gang share a bond with one another one way or another. Gang members are told to behave discretely about their connections with the gang when in public. Never trust a stranger and when in doubt, walk away.
Public Agenda
Rivolte's actions are all dictated by the Head Boss, their Right Hand Man, or the Underboss. All of these actions are done to achieve the following:
- Make money
- Protect the gang from persecution
- Maintain a connection across the lands
Assets
Rivolte has a relative net worth of almost 1,000,000gp in circulation. This money is frequently used to purchase weapons, supplies, and suppliers. So far, the gang has 5 highly trained craftsmen that forges weapons under their pseudonym brand: Henricko. These weapons are low in supply and out of the radar, but the lucky ones that manage to get their hands on them report them to be very high in quality. Recently, the gang has invested interest in some black-market trading of the coveted Forza Crystal.
History
Formed in the Year 512 by a man named Harold Lombardio, it originated as a simple crafting guild in the ever-expanding Thorcester City. The guild received moderate success during its first few years, but it soon began to dwindle as demand for their products began to fall. Harold was going through major stress trying to keep the guild up and running.
Around this time, he met his wife. She was a tiefling woman who had been living on the road for 26 years. Her name was Tara "Rebel" Keelin. With some of her behind-the-scenes help in the less discriminatory city of Thorcester City, the guild quickly began to regain popularity again.
Tragedy struck in the year 529 when a rival craftsmen guild overstepped. Harold returned home to find his wife Tara dead via strangulation. This quickly began to shift Harold's morals. Day by day, Harold began to slowly turn his craftsmen guild into what is now known as Rivolte, a mob syndicate. He named the new mob after his wife's virtue name.
