Crimson Codex Gang

The Crimson Codex is a gang of criminals that work mainly in the area of Girdev but they're influence can be seen as far as way as the kingdom of Stone in the east of The Drazia Dynasty. The Codex has a large amount of wealth and power meaning that any charges raised against high ranking members of the group are often foiled or mysteriously dropped.

Agenda Official/Unofficial
The Codex is in the business of moving product and and making it where they can, the problem that law enforcement has is that these products tend to be; drugs, illegal magical items, stolen property or people. Within the criminal underworld the Codex is well known as a place that can get you whatever you need, but how and where to get a hold of the codex is the hard part.

The Codex works more in the shadows than many of the other gangs, rather than roaming the streets with matching arm bands or dressing alike, the only codex members that are easy to find on the streets are those who are selling drugs.

Members
Riss-Sack Molkhem is the head of the Codex but no one has the power to do much about him, there is little proof and fewer people willing to risk trying to arrest and prosecute him. For someone to do something about him in a less legal way would also be quite hard partially due to his ever faithful companion Clank a clockwork that never leaves his side, as well as the fact that there would be retribution from the rest of the codex.

Thrilgrith Ara and Hustamri Gikcith help Riss-Sack with running the gang and wield much of the power within, some worry that if Riss-Sack dies these two would fight for control and probably hurt a lot of people in the process. Beneath these two there are a number of mid-tier gang members who organise things within the Codex but they tend to try and stay as anonymous as possible, knowing that if people are powerful enough to pay for their services they will be found.

Many people within the gang are dwarves but other races do join as well and are helpful in the movement of good throughout Duthgar, as they are less likely to be suspected as being from the Crimson Codex. Most people join the Codex when they are young looking for a family to be a part of and one of the large draws of the Codex is that it protects those who are its members and people feel the draw of the power and thrill that comes form carrying out codex business.

Assets
There are a number safehouses and warehouses across Duthgar and Drazia Dynasty but other than the thieves cant and subtle markings that denote their true purpose there isn't much that ties them to the Codex.

Associated Organisations
There are two other major gangs that compete with the Codex these are The Azure Hand and The Lotus Crime Syndicate they battle over territory and in cycles of revenge if they suspect a death of one of their members was caused by one of the other gangs.
