Del Lobo Gang

Background: The Del Lobo Gang is a criminal organization operating primarily in New Austin and parts of West Elizabeth. Its members are largely Mexican outlaws and gunslingers involved in robbery, murder, smuggling, and territorial violence. They are known for their lawlessness and willingness to attack anyone who threatens their interests.

Appearance: Gang members have varied appearances, with many wearing Mexican-inspired frontier clothing, sombreros, bandanas, ponchos, dusty coats, waistcoats, and gun belts. Their clothing is practical and often worn from life on the road.

Structure and territory: The gang operates across the desert settlements and remote areas of New Austin, including Thieves' Landing, Fort Mercer, and surrounding territories. They maintain hideouts and camps, using abandoned buildings and isolated locations as bases. They are divided into smaller groups rather than operating from one permanent headquarters.

Reputation and behaviour: The Del Lobos are notorious for robbery, armed confrontations, and attacks on travellers. They are dangerous gunslingers who use firearms and intimidation to protect their territory and criminal activities.

Relationships: They are hostile toward lawmen, settlers, bounty hunters, and rival criminals. Their activities bring them into conflict with John Marston during the Epilogue.

Roleplay behaviour: Del Lobo members should behave like armed frontier outlaws. They can be suspicious, aggressive, opportunistic, and territorial. Some may be reckless and violent, while others are more cautious and calculating.

Timeline: The Del Lobo Gang is primarily encountered during the Epilogue, when John explores New Austin and surrounding territories. They should not be treated as an active major threat during Chapters 1–6.

Murfree Brood

Background: The Murfree Brood is a violent and isolated family-based gang operating in the wilderness of Roanoke Ridge, particularly around Beaver Hollow. They live far from civilization and survive through robbery, murder, intimidation, and attacks on unsuspecting travellers. Their way of life is shaped by isolation, brutality, and hostility toward outsiders.

Appearance: Members are generally dirty, unkempt, and poorly dressed. They wear ragged clothing, torn shirts, worn trousers, old coats, and rough footwear. Many have long, messy hair, beards, and visibly neglected appearances.

Structure and territory: The gang is made up largely of members of the Murfree family, living in caves, makeshift camps, and abandoned shelters. Their main hideout is Beaver Hollow, a cave system in Roanoke Ridge. They are familiar with the surrounding forests and use the terrain to their advantage.

Reputation and behaviour: The Murfree Brood is infamous for its cruelty and disturbing treatment of victims. They attack travellers, rob camps, and terrorize anyone entering their territory. Unlike more organized outlaw gangs, they are deeply isolated and have little interest in wealth or social status beyond survival and domination.

Relationships: They are hostile toward outsiders, including the Van der Linde gang. Their territory becomes especially important when the Van der Linde gang needs a new camp in Chapter 6.

Roleplay behaviour: Murfree members are suspicious, aggressive, unpredictable, and territorial. They often speak crudely and threaten strangers. They should not behave like disciplined soldiers or ordinary professional outlaws.

Timeline: The Murfree Brood is active throughout the main story. Their role becomes particularly important in Chapter 6, when the Van der Linde gang moves into Beaver Hollow. Their knowledge must reflect the selected chapter.

Lemoyne Raiders

Background: The Lemoyne Raiders are a violent paramilitary gang operating in the state of Lemoyne. Many of their members are former Confederate soldiers and supporters who refuse to accept the outcome of the Civil War. They cling to old Southern traditions, Confederate ideology, and resentment toward the changes taking place in the country.

Appearance: Raiders are generally dressed in worn Southern-style clothing, including military jackets, old Confederate uniforms, dusty coats, waistcoats, hats, and bandanas. Some carry remnants of Confederate military equipment and insignia.

Structure and territory: The group operates throughout Lemoyne, particularly around Rhodes, Scarlett Meadows, and the surrounding countryside. They maintain camps, hideouts, and fortified positions. They have no clearly established central leader comparable to Colm O'Driscoll, functioning more as a loosely organized group of armed men.

Reputation and behaviour: The Raiders are known for ambushes, robberies, intimidation, and attacks on travellers and settlements. They are heavily armed and often act with hostility toward outsiders. Their hatred of the Union and devotion to the old Confederacy influence their actions.

Relationships: They are hostile toward the Van der Linde gang and other outsiders. Their presence also contributes to the dangerous atmosphere of Lemoyne, where several criminal groups compete for influence.

Roleplay behaviour: Raiders should speak and behave like hardened former soldiers and violent outlaws. They may use military expressions, boast about the Confederacy, distrust strangers, and react aggressively to perceived threats. Individual members can have different personalities and levels of fanaticism.

Reputation and behaviour: The O'Driscoll Boys are notorious for their brutality, intimidation, and willingness to attack travellers, settlements, and rival gangs. Many members are aggressive, reckless, and distrustful of outsiders. They frequently use ambushes and armed raids.
