Dark Chicago       The Usual Suspects    Crews    Criminal    Street Gangs      Insane Cornell Boys

Tier III - W
The largest gang south of 47th, the ICB have their boots dug deep into the Back of the Yards. Armed, violent, and greedy, they run the streets with swagger and fire—and they’ve just decided the neighborhood isn’t big enough for anyone else.

“No warnings. No debts unpaid.”
The ICB, Lords of Cornell, Red Light Boys

Reek “No-Teeth” Duncan (street chief) – ran dice games at twelve, set a house on fire at fifteen; loyal and loud.
Marsha “Redbone” Keller – madame and enforcer; runs Curly’s Cat House with veiled hands and iron nails.
Junior “Cap” Milton – hot-headed lieutenant; ambitious and stupid, a danger even to friends.
Tre “Bookie” Nix – gambling boss and odds runner; keeps all debts in his head and one in his heart.

Turf

Cornell Park (HQ) – Claimed with flags, fear, and foot traffic; locals know who owns the shadows here.
McGurry’s Meat Market – A bloody little front and a place where people get carved in more ways than one.
52nd St. Warehouses – Stash points and drop zones, guarded by young killers with bad ideas and big guns.

Notable Assets

Curly’s Cat House – A moneymaker and blackmail source; veiled girls, whispery walls.
Numerous corner operations – They run product like clockwork on key intersections and trap blocks.
Gambling games – Mostly dice and numbers, some rigged, all watched.
VIP Room (strip club near Midway) – Where leaders meet, deals are made, and messages get sent.

Quirks

Their lieutenants each wear silver chains with a Cobra fang charm, dipped in wax and cursed by rumor.
Their corner boys get their first tattoo after their second confirmed beating.
Their turf gets marked with sigils that only light up under moonlight—no one’s sure who draws them.

Situation

ICB just put a major Ada St. Clovers plug in the ground and they’re riding high on momentum. But ambition stirs paranoia: they just got wind of a casino operating behind closed doors in their own neighborhood—and no one told them. That’s not acceptable. Meanwhile, the crew’s power is surging and spreading west, with street-level profits stacked high—but enemies multiplying just as fast. The Cobras, the Bulls, even some of the Fear Crew are whispering. ICB doesn’t care. They’ll make their point in blood.
