The Outfit is a vast, borderless criminal syndicate operating across nations, cultures, and regimes. Where laws change and borders harden, The Outfit remains fluid—moving contraband, secrets, and bodies with equal efficiency. They are masters of coordination, specializing in theft, international smuggling routes, and discreet contract killings for those who can afford their price.
Unlike many criminal organizations, The Outfit is not bound to a single city or bloodline. It functions as a professional network rather than a family, valuing competence, discretion, and reliability above loyalty to any nation or ruler. Their operatives are trained to vanish, leaving only rumors and empty pockets behind.
A strict non-aggression pact exists between The Outfit and the Tripano Crime Family. While they occasionally cooperate on logistics or information exchange, neither side interferes with the other’s territory or internal affairs—a balance maintained through mutual benefit and carefully enforced consequences.
The Outfit is divided into semi-autonomous cells known as "Crews," each responsible for a specific region or operation type. Crews answer to anonymous regional coordinators called Brokers, who in turn report to an unseen ruling council referred to only as The Board.
