Est. 1966
Founded by: Luther James Crowley
Main Revenue: Crowley has his ways of striking up a deal. Most of the family's main revenue comes from the meat industry. He has a few back-door contacts that he can get on the line to help him get what he needs. Fabric and other things aren't particularly a concern for him. Yeah, he'll deal in it if it makes the dough, but he knows the difference between a good deal, and a bad one.
Headquarters: Church and Wallace. The church is their means of shelter and a home to each of the members. There are living quarters and many other commodities that one might find in a residence. Crowley has designated a section of their territory, which amounts to an old vacant lot, as a battleground used to settle disputes between family members. The living quarters are divided by rank, with the largest ones belonging to the Don and the Underboss. The family isn't required to stay there, but the areas are there if needed.
Cat Friendly: Yes
Dog Friendly: Yes
Description: The family is ruthless, unfazed by the lengths they may have to go to in order to maintain their status. They are taught, "either you move forward, or you become a casualty." Crowley instills that in each of his members, knowing that the day might come when moving forward might just land him on the ground instead of his seat of power. He wants his family tough as nails, and molds them into the ganglords they were meant to be. They strive for greatness, even though in Crowley's mind they already achieved it.
They deal mostly in back-door stuff, like most others do. People come to them to solve problems. Got a bully hounding you and nipping at your heels? For the right price, you can live a carefree life again. But hits aren't the only things they solicit. Escort services and body guards for hire, along with mules for hauling contraband to other places. Smuggling is probably where they get their most business. Is it an honest living? No, not to most people. But to them, it's all in a day's work.
Of course, Crowley and his family despise the Mancinis. Most of the dislike isn't really on a personal level, but from a business standpoint. Crowley isn't one for "friendly competition". Any bit of revenue they rake in is revenue lost to him, and he makes sure that each of his family members know that.
As far as how relations are between the family members, anyone is welcome to join. Crowley tries to keep a relaxed atmosphere when at headquarters. He has designated an area where the various members can settle disputes without killing each other. This makes up for a lot of the evening entertainment, because with a hot-blooded leader, there are bound to be fights. The rule, you settle it there and the matter is over. Crowley treats them as family, and he expects everyone else to do the same. You mess with any of them, and you'll have a full force coming at you in no time.
All-in-all, everyone is in it to support themselves. The lifestyle isn't pretty to most, but to Crowley's Gang, it's home.
