History

 

The Family is considered by many in law enforcement to be Paragon City’s largest and most well-organized gang. Although the Family’s primary operations are located Independence Port, the group controls a criminal empire that likely stretches throughout Paragon City.

 

The Family is led by known mobsters who allegedly hand down orders to a variety of street gangs. Chief among the Family’s “associates” may be the violent Trolls, a gang whose members boast green skin, increased strength and resistance, and other mutations as a result of ingesting Superadine. The Trolls operate out of Skyway City, where they presumably support some of the Family’s criminal operations. The supposed connection between the Family and the Trolls has led to speculation that the Family is responsible for distributing Superadine and may even produce batches of the drug.

 

Although very powerful and typically removed from day-to-day street battles, the Family has been sucked into the turf wars raging across Paragon City. In particular, it appears that the Family is actively fighting the group known as Freakshow for control of Crey's Folly and other areas of the city.

Superadine, or "Supes," has long been a plague on Paragon City. Not only has it led to the creation of supervillains and gangs such as the Trolls, it was also responsible for unlocking the secrets to dimensional travel which later allowed the Rikti to invade Paragon City. If the Family is involved in the production or distribution of the drug, they could have contacts that extend into other dimensions.
