- Just your average bottomless pit of scum and villainy. Bosses vie for power; pacts are made and broken; friendships meet their end on the edge of twisted, subtle knives. And yet, there's something more to this city. Something undiscovered, imperceptible. Something... infinite.
- The Graves Crime Family
Cool, calm, and collected, Malcolm Graves is head of the notorious Graves crime family—and the only non-rat that Twitch will trust. Recent moves in the criminal underworld have put his alliance with the rat-men on shaky ground, and he's keen to find out why.
Known by state police as “La Principessa,” Jinx is an unhinged hitwoman with loose ties to the Graves crime family. Sent into rival businesses as a figurative time bomb, the slightest offense will trigger one of her jubilant rampages, with body counts as high as the ceiling.
- The Miss Fortune Cartel
Miss Fortune's body man is an unnervingly pleasant gentleman by the name of 'Bank Vault' Braum, whose alias was earned ripping the wall off a maximum security gold depository. He is accompanied by a small cadre of gun-toting poros, who love nothing more than belly rubs and murder.
A former gun for hire, Miss Sarah Fortune has recently spun up her own criminal cartel, with a hand in everything from arms smuggling to protection rackets. Having destabilized the relationship between Twitch and Graves, she now seeks to cement her empire before they get wise to her ambitions.
- The Twitch Syndicate
Deeply violent and severely paranoid, Twitch runs one of the largest crime syndicates in the nation. His orders are carried out by a literal army of rat-men, the only creatures he even comes close to trusting.
- Unaffiliated
One of the city's top criminal defense attorneys, Gragas, Esquire is often seen carousing with the chief of police and various circuit court judges—mostly because they know he has access to the finest prohibited goods… but also because he's been paying them off for decades.
'Knockout' Lee Sin is a brutal pit fighter, who made his name in the underground circuit, before leaving the bloody sport for greener, more criminal pastures. He currently sells his services as a “problem-solver” to a select group of monied kingpins.
