Gang and crime activity
The Gangs of Chicago are known as the Families.
The Cambrione Family: This is the strongest and most influential family of Chicago. The Cambrione is the epitome of the Italian organized crime family. It is lead by Francis “Frank 9-fingers” Albery Cambrione (Magnus Combrionus), known for his one hand with 4 fingers, missing the middle finger. He is known to be very cunning and disarmingly calm. He is also a big fan of Roman history and sees himself as a cesaer of sorts.
The Cambrione family takes a strong stand against anyone that defies their will. Betrayal is the worst offense to a Cambrione. They tend to use the old Roman punishment of crucifiction to those that offend them.
(Tharkold campaign : The Cambrione family is under the influence of the Crucifier, the next Brother of Tharkold)
