Themes: violence, childhood fantasy, sense of belonging

Dali Riker, also known as *El Conquistador,* is the youngest recruit to the gang.
Originating from a poor family in an impoverished neighbourhood, Dali had access to illustrated comic books about gangs and cowboys. These books, featuring hardworking individuals protecting their community, inspired Dali to follow in their footsteps by establishing a business selling stolen cigarettes.
Within the Union, Dali takes on various roles, running errands, strongarming people, collecting extortion money, and engaging in physical altercations. Embracing the fantasy of being a true free spirit, they adopted the nickname *El Conquistador.*

Core of the Local Union Branch / The Gang (1st half)

There is a Union branch of La Cage. The original intent was trampled into the ground and while the majority of common folks do not agree with the current status, they are too weak to do something about it. The group at the core of THE Local Union Branch, being nicknamed "The Gang" by some, via Union exerts a distinct form of authority over the tenement, primarily operating as a protection racket and smuggling enterprise. Initially, joining the Union was "strongly recommended" through persuasive arguments, often backed by threats and actual violence. Despite a facade of affluence and influence, the group's true nature has become increasingly apparent over time. A few years ago the attempts to seek external assistance were thwarted - the Gang demonstrated connections with unions, bribed the RCM, and presented a composed facade to the Coalition. Two years ago, there was a war over La Cage with Puta Madre. Today, The Gang faces simultaneous challenges on multiple fronts, marking a tumultuous period in its history.

Fight Club

“Come by and watch the spectacle! Watch adults pummel each other bloody! Watch the gladiators of our modern times face off for your amusement!” So read the worn posters and flyers every week. The Fights are happening weekly, and are one of the few entertainment establishments in La Cage. Everyone knows the story of the rise of the “Red Bannerman” and the “Twirling Moustache” - glorious fighters in a bloody sport. As part of the Fight Club, you might be one of these fighters, facing off with wooden sticks, some bringing the finesse of ancient samaran martial arts, while others beat down their opponents with brute force.
