Faction Information
Quebec is unusual in regards to other major UCAS cities in that the top tier of organized crime is firmly in the hands of bikers, called go-gangs elsewhere, but labeled motards in French. Staying away from the drug and chip trade, which is now firmly in the hands of the bikers, the Mafia has concentrated on white-collar crime, kidnapping, racketeering, extortion, and armed robbery. their most lucrative operation, however, is their complete control of the construction industry in Montreal. Nothing gets built without them having a hand in it, and nobody works on a job without their consent. While the government occasionally makes a show of cleaning up the industry, the truth is Montreal decrepitude has worked in the Mafia’s favor. Every municipal politician is in their pocket, while politicians from Quebec have no interest in waging this particular battle over such a poor prize. The millions of diverted funds are responsible for the crumbling roads and the fragility of bridges and buildings.
Summary
The renewal Montreal has been experiencing lately, with many corporations now looking to move operations into the city, has provided an unexpected windfall to the Mafia. They have grown bolder and begun taking back ground that was lost to the bikers. Tensions are brewing. If that wasn’t enough; it is said old ‘Ndrangheta’ rivals from Toronto have begun eyeing the city again. It would seem Montreal is about to face a mob war the likes of which it has not seen for some time.

Background
While the Bikers hold a dominant position in Montreal’s underworld, the Mafia a has had a presence here since the 1940s.� The bikers took over the drug trade a�fter a short, bloody war. �The bikers came out on top, with the leadership and ranks of the other two syndicates culled. Retreating to lick their wounds, the Mafia and the West End Gang were forced into consolidation. The two outfits merged under the leadership of the heads of both clans. If there is one thing syndicates don’t deal well with, though, it’s sharing power. A few assassinations later, Giacomo Rossi emerged the final victor in 2020, securing renewed alliances with the rebuilt New York Commissione. Since that time, the Mafia has operated quietly.
