Blackout
_______________
Blackout is the center of a large crime syndicate that has been based in San Andreas since the 1980's. They first specialized in drug and gun trafficking, running weapons across the ocean from the Netherlands and other northern European counties. After establishing businesses, Blackout specializes in extortion, loan sharking (Loaning off, then getting interest at extremely high rates), minor prostitution, and minor local narcotic distributing. With the occasional homicide, they attempt to stay relatively clean and out of the local law enforcement's hair, sticking to their roots, as business men.
Origin
_______________
Blackout was a small group formed in 1946, A year after the end of World War 2. The group operated inside of Holland, in the Netherlands at first. The group began with small charges of Arson, theft, assault, and extortion. Their primary language was Dutch, since the leaders were of dutch origin at the time. Blackout began to grow from Holland, gathering members as they claimed more territory. They grew fast, since the criminals in the Netherlands were looking for a strong group to follow suit with. Eventually, the small group earned the title of a Crime Syndicate.
Blackout, in order to stay alive in the economy, ran a lot of weapons and narcotics across the borders of neighboring countries, bringing in significant cash flow as a result. There were many groups under different names formed, whom all eventually followed suit with the movement. Blackout was the sole founder of the syndicate, eventually banding together with other organized crime groups in Belgium, working towards one specific goal; Bring the drug and gun trade over seas. The syndicate grew into many neighboring countries, such as Belgium, France, the United Kingdom, and eventually Romania. Blackout kept up a steady pace, earning cash and holding down territory from rebelling or rival organized crime groups, for a few decades.
In the 1970's, Blackout themselves began running weapons from Romania into the Netherlands, in preparation for the coming trip to go overseas into the Americas and begin taking over gun routes and territories. It lasted until 1975, when the local governments made a push to end the gun trafficking, resulting in the loss of many gun routes, and a lot of time. After seeing how much damage running narcotics could do to the syndicate, blackout made a vote to push for only gun trafficking, which after two years, got accepted and implemented.
During 1980, The syndicate began establishing many freight routes across the ocean to North America, allowing the syndicate to settle in Canada, the United States, and some small parts of Mexico. One of the largest pushes into the United States allowed the Syndicate to grab hold of a few organized american crime groups, allowing the syndicate to gain more power. A lot of alliances were bought with the promise of annual gun shipments, to keep other crime groups running, and loyal to the syndicate.
Blackout Today
_______________
Blackout now runs many businesses across San Andreas. After settling in San Fierro, they expanded across the country side to Los Santos. Since Blackout is relatively isolated in San Andreas, the group was pushed out of Los Santos, by local law enforcement, federal agencies, and rival crime groups. Blackout grabbed a hold of Red County, setting up multiple fronts for money laundering and outposts for gun trades. Without the help of the Syndicate, Blackout had to settle for the locals in the area, recruiting around Red County.
