Quinn Connoway's Family Matters

Quinn Connoway is a Finnigan fixer - a lieutenant in the Finnigan Family hailing from the Dallas-Fort Worth metroplex. He's been sent north to give his cousins in the local Finns a kick in the pants - leadership down south is worried that O'Malley's gone soft with all the losses the family's taken in the Seattle metroplex lately.

So a mildly treacherous mob lieutenant's been sent to wheel and deal and backstab his way into prominence. He'll do it any way he has to, even if that involves internal violence. After all, family matters - but what really matters is the Family.

Factions

Finnigan Family

You know 'em, you love 'em - the Finnigans are an Irish mafia family, folded into the group structure established by Rowena O'Malley when she took the business over from her father. Their operations include smuggling, drug and BTL dealing, protection rackets, fight pits, the works - if you've seen it in a mafia movie, they're almost certainly doing it. And they'd love nothing more than to keep doing that in peace, in perpetuity.

Important Members

Quinn Connoway is the fixer sent from down south to shake things up locally - root out rats, turn unprofitable businesses into money making affairs, and go after foes more proactively than before. Someday, he wants a position of prominence in the family. He views the business trip he's taking up north to be a critical part of his path to that place.

Jazz and Venus are the sorts of established powers within the family he's trying to emulate - and the established powers whose business he's nosing into. Quinn isn't making any friends doing this.

Katherine Curran, however, is the sort of person he needs on his side. As far as outside eyes can tell, she's the best way to get a word into O'Malley's ear - someone who isn't necessarily a power player at the high level, but who's able to feed them information. A powerful ally or enemy, depending on his (mis)steps.

Goals

The family goals, on the whole, are quite straightforward: make money, keep influence, keep power. But that's the organization's goals.

Individuals have their own ideas about how best to accomplish these things, and odds are poor that they'll resolve those differences peacefully.

There's one key goal above all else though: beat the Yaks. There's hatred there.

Yakuza Clans

The Seattle clans on the whole are prime rivals for the local Finns - and the place where their offensives are most likely to go. There's been bad blood forever, they've fought over the docks and the smuggling routes for a long time, and that all means that they're prime targets for renewed aggression.

Goals

Keep their territory. Keep their operations intact. Kill their enemies.

Other Syndicates

The Yakuza and the Finns aren't the only game in town. Triads, Vory, Cutters, Ancients, all of them are rivals in the business. Nobody's above taking potshots at the competition, especially if they're vulnerable.

At the same time, if the enmity isn't that strong, there might be room to make some backroom deals - all under the table of course, where the bosses can't see.
