Dark Chicago       The Usual Suspects    Crews    Criminal    Street Gangs      Devil's Hand

Tier I - S
A cursed crew operating out of Englewood, right on the border with Fuller Park. The Devil’s Hand are pact-bound firebrands, stitched together from fallen crews and lost souls with nothing left to lose. What they have now is flame, fury, and the weight of a deal struck too deep to break.

“Fire, fear, and fury.”

The Hand, Devil’s Boys – Firebrands, Ashbloods

The Crew

Npcs

Teddy Milovich (leader) – gaunt, intense, speaks like a preacher on his last breath; lost his brother and traded his soul to even the score
“Singe” Dalton (lieutenant) – lanky pyromaniac with black fingernails, keeps lighters in every pocket
Nina “Ash” Voss – scarred, sharp-eyed enforcer; carries the cursed blade and hears whispers when she draws blood
Ray-Ray McKie – smooth talker with a busted halo; ex-Elm Street runner turned sermon-leader
Maya “Kindle” Ruiz – keeps the books, the secrets, and the shrine; eyes glow faintly during sermons

Englewood

Turf

The Wick Yard (HQ) – A long-abandoned match factory near Ashland and 43rd, blackened bricks and scorched sigils.
Corners near Loomis and Ashland – Watched by ash-marked scouts, and dangerous after dusk.
Hidden shrine-room – Tucked beneath The Iron Hook boxing gym, used for pacts and sermons.

Notable Assets

Pact-bonded blade etched with infernal glyphs
A Veil-twisted sermon script believed to call down flame
Backing from Carmine Dellarusso, a consigliere of Richie Mans, who shields them from major Outfit backlash

Quirks

All members burn their palms with a sigil of their pact
Tag turf with faintly smoldering handprint graffiti
Thursday “Sermons” involve sacrifices—blood, bone, or memory
Some members hear voices that call them by name—no one else hears them

Situation

Teddy Milovich built this gang from the broken ribs of New City’s fallen—what remained of Ada St. Clovers, Elm Street Saints, Bonepickers, and worse. With Carmine’s protection and the Veil’s dark blessing, The Devil’s Hand is burning a new gospel across Englewood. Their rise is swift, brutal, and loud—but the cost of their infernal power is coming due. As rival gangs close in and their own pact begins to whisper back, one wrong fire could consume them all.
