The Orpheum Troupe

A vaudeville themed gang which, despite its fruity facade, is dangerous and influential. Led by Ringleader Rip Orpheum. One of several factions warring for control of Orden, they recently cut the head off of their primary rivals, the Distinguished Academy and the spoils from this have caused them to outstrip all of their other rivals in territory and power.

History

/* The Orpheum Troupe is the result of Rip Orpheum's takeover of several influential gangs in the eastern wastes. He gave each executive a choice to serve under him or die. He spared the ones who gave him allegiance, allowing them to keep control of their gang.
Eventually, he found four executives who stood out from the rest, and he promoted those to his lieutenants.
He continues to acquire smaller gangs that accept his rule and destroys all others.
The gang fought constantly against the Distinguished Academy until it was sold out and he was able to destroy their power structure. Orpheum has since taken much of their territory and men. */
