The Brotherhood of Thieves

The Brotherhood of Thieves started out as a small gang. Dingue and her friends started the organization in late High School. It was a small group that messed around a lot when it began. After Dingue and Michael started to take part in a serious operation, the others dropped out and more serious criminals joined.

Michael basically runs everything as a secretary except for planning raids, which is something that seems to be a shared effort across the higher-ups of the group. He sells items, keeps things in check, pays members, and basically does all the stuff Dingue doesn't want to do.

The Brotherhood of Thieves has a station in the Abandoned Bank called the Payday Loan Company located in the Suburbs of Ithcona. They run a pay-day loan company on the top floor. However, what's really interesting is the layout of the base. The vault of the bank is merely the entrance to the real hideout. In fact, the only thing inside the vault is some lobby furniture and a secret stairway in the corner of the room. To enter, someone needs to pull out the correct safety deposit box to open it up.

There are three vaults, kitchen amenities, bunks for resting on, and multiple large open rooms where people can talk about things and hang out. There's also designated living spaces for the higher-ups which are basically just small one bedroom dorms. The walls have thick metal surrounding the interior, but there are normal walls on the inside of the refortified structure. Overall, the base produces "homely" feel in accordance to the leader, Dingue's, intentions.

The brotherhood always gets new members invited directly Dingue or through recommendations from higher-ups. She will stalk people, blackmail potential members, and physically poke and jab people, which makes people fear her enough to stay in the organization. Dingue also uses positive reinforcement to invite members by cooing over those possessions that are most successful in the organization. However, this method doesn’t always work. Dingue loves to “steal" people from the Ithcona Correctional Center. It’s a challenge she enjoys. If former inmates decide to join the group, it benefits the organization as a whole.
