SIX-F01
The Belladonna Family
The Belladonnas grew from immigrant restaurateurs and bookmakers into one of Grimmstone’s great criminal dynasties. They survived crackdowns by making themselves useful to everyone: politicians needed quiet money, clubs needed credit, gamblers needed books, and rival criminals needed neutral dinners. Their hospitality is legendary because every meal is also negotiation.
SIX-F02
The Red Right Hand
The Hand began as collectors for several rival families who realized professional violence was more profitable when neutral. They became a market for force: intimidation, retrieval, punishment, and assassination. Their continued existence depends on one rule—contracts matter more than personal politics.
SIX-F03
The Devil's Due
The Due formed around Demon-Blooded advocates who realized Grimmstone’s criminals signed terrible agreements without understanding the language. They became interpreters, then brokers, then authors of magically binding contracts. They are difficult to destroy because even their enemies rely on them to make supernatural promises enforceable.
SIX-F04
The Lucky Bastards
Born from cheats expelled by respectable casinos, the Bastards built a culture around beating systems rather than owning them. They became bookmakers, card mechanics, odds-makers, and professional gamblers. Casinos tolerate them because their action attracts crowds—and because banning all of them proved impossible.
SIX-F05
The Velvet Razor Society
The Society began as bored wealthy patrons hiring criminals for elaborate thrills. Eventually the patrons became better criminals than the professionals. Today it mixes socialites, executives, thieves, fixers, and corrupt officials who treat elegant crime as both networking and sport.
