The Moro Syndicate

The Moro Syndicate is a criminal organization led by the Moro family. They oversee drug trafficking, black market operations, fencing of stolen and illegal wares, and dabble in trade of humans and human organs alike. The Moro family used to be locally known as the Moro gang but after a brutal gang war, they were able to bolster their ranks and all but eliminate the competition. At this point, the city center is under complete control of the Syndicate, but who knows to what parts of the city their influence really reaches.

Led by Gaetano Moro (a.k.a. 'the Don'), the inner circle is comprised by family members only. However, since their growth, the Moro's activities support a few dozen families outside theirs. Most of these are Italian immigrant families, but the Don has been less strict in recruitment the last few years.

One such recruits was Silas Blaise, whose natural talent for subtlety and persuasion were a good match with Riccardo Moro, Gaetano's oldest son. The two became friends and actually complemented each other nicely. But Silas became increasingly paranoid about his place in the Syndicate and decided to prematurely end his association with the Moro. This did not fare well with the Don and even less so with Riccardo, who sees Silas' exit as a personal betrayal.
