Origins: Gangs of Gotham 1

An introduction to the criminal landscape of Gotham City following the activation of the No Man's Land Protocol, focusing on the domain of Roman Sionis, the Mayor of Gotham. Supported by a section on Gotham North, also called Old Gotham, the southernmost island.

Synopsis
Roman Sionis is Mayor of Gotham, the political head of the independent Gotham City. Through his closest allies (Bruce Wayne, Rupert Thorne, Tobias Whale, Nick Fury), he holds the Industrial District, Wayne Island, Wayne International Plaza, and the ACE Chemical Plant. His associate, Black Mask, rules the crime organisations as head of the Unified Crime Family, although this is subversively hampered by the older Italian and Sicilian crime families.

Gotham North
Gotham North is comprised of five districts: Amusement Mile along the eastern shore; the Bowery in the west; the Industrial District at its southern tip; the Narrows along the southern edge, in the ruins of Wonder City; and Park Row, along the northern shore, home to infamous Crime Alley.

The major organisations in Old Gotham include Sionis' own faction, holding the Industrial District, and others:
 * Ibanescu Crime Family - Headed by Dragos Ibanescu, an on-the-rise organisation tenuously holding control of Park Row. Contested by the Deacons.
 * Odessa Mob - Ukrainian arms dealers, pushing into the Irish-held Bowery, currently holding about a third, under Vasily Kosov.
 * Street Demonz - Personal crew of Able Crown, who leads a coalition of smaller gangs based in the Narrows.
 * Sullivan Crime Family - An Irish family, led by Mickey Sullivan, closely linked to the Falcone-led Roman Empire, holding roughly a third of the Bowery.
 * Riley Crime Family - Another Irish family running out of the Bowery, although much smaller. Supported by the main branch of the family, based in New York City.
 * Zucco Crime Family - A small operation headed by Tony "Boss" Zucco, widely-believed to be under the control of the Maroni Crime Family, holding Amusement Mile.
