Roleplay title: Money can't buy happiness, but can buy a liver

After years of smoking and drinking, a prominent high ranking member of the Empire was diagnosed with advanced cirrhosis and liver failure, and was given mere months to live unless he was given a liver transplant. Due to his past of alcohol abuse, he was denied a spot in practically every liver transplant list in the country, so we had to get creative. Luckily, our contact across the border in Mexico had good relationship with a surgeon and the dean of an accredited hospital there, and upon meeting them, he came up with an idea. The idea involved masking the name of recipient under the name of an actual person on the list that was deceased before receiving the transplant, thus raising no suspicions with the authority. We met with the contact and the doctor and set up the details of the operation. The patriarch was flown in to Mexico and shuttled to the hospital, where the transplant operation was done in secrecy. Upon the successful conclusion of the operation, the patriarch spent some time in the hospital to recover. The involved parties were rewarded nicely for their help.

Roleplay title: The Clean Up in Los Santos

The patriarch was sitting behind his desk when he called two of his most trusted soldiers to his office. He knew that the recent deals which were made this week have brought in a hefty sum of dirty cash, and now it was time to launder it. The plan was simple - buy a couple of inflated properties and then sell those properties off. The property hunt was about to happen in Los Santos. The two soldiers joined by a third one spent the next few hours touring inflated properties across the city—luxury homes, vacant high-rises, and commercial buildings. By the end of the day, they’ve secured several deals, all overpriced to maximize the amount of money they can launder. With the properties purchased and the money laundered, the soldiers moved quickly to flip the properties, selling them through their legitimate contact. The paperwork was immaculate, and on the surface, everything appeared legal. They sold off the properties, pocketing clean money, just as the Patriarch ordered.

"Nothing personal, just business."

Underground Empire is an organized crime syndicate. It's like La Cosa Nostra, difference is that UE doesn't have ethnic limits (Like LCN and Russian mobs do).
Also, it has politicians who are not just associated but who are a part of it. Some of the members of UE are high society members who on the ground are known as businessmen, politicians etc...Underground everything's different.



Underground Empire was founded on June 23, 1866. (1 year and 1 day after the American Civil War). Few former Confederate soldiers who were traumatized by the war couldn't find a job. Their families were killed by Union Soldiers. 3 men - John Dixon, Edward McFarlane, and Judah Davis were former Confederate soldiers. Dixon came from war with his left hand blown off, McFarlane had PTSD and Davis was sick of living.

Nothing left to live for they decided to get rich. Their criminal activities began with corrupt politicians. Some politicians wanted someone killed then one of them would get the job done.

In 1888. they met Polish businessman who came to America to get richer than he already was. His name was Richard Kowalski. Kowalski was famous for running rackets in Poland.

1901 - Daniel Callahan found oil underground. Some bandits and outlaws wanted to steal his oil and even kill him. Callahan's wife drove to Rio Bravo (Old city) to ask for help from Underground Empire. They agreed. While protecting the oil, John Dixon got killed. In return, Callahan joined Underground Empire. Callahan was the top earner.

1907 - Edward McFarlane started a killing rampage on his enemies and went out of control (because of PTSD). He got caught by US Marshall and Sheriffs. Next day they hang him.

1909 - Judah Davis died of heart attack.

1912 - Callahan had recruited some soldiers to protect him and his business. Then he met Salvatore Petrucelli. Petrucelli was an Italian immigrant who wanted to get rich and he didn't care how.

In the 30s and 40s, most Underground Empire gangsters and associates went to war. Most went to war to escape criminal charges and they wouldn't have to go to the prison. Many didn't come back after the war.

1955 - Most of UE's businesses were in Liberty City.

1962 - Had war with local gangs. 40% of all properties were burned or destroyed. 55% of the members were killed. 10% more were in prison.

1973 - Underground Empire was attacked again.

1974 - Officially announced dead/inactive by Government.

1997 - Dino ''The Ace'' Zee, a Machiavellian type of gangster met few old Underground Empire members in prison.

2000 - Dino Zee was released from jail.

2001 - Some rumors of reviving in Liberty City.

2004 - Secret and unknown gang wipes out most of Vice City gangsters and takes over most businesses.

2013 - Announced officially alive by FBI. Allegedly revived by Dino "The Ace" Zee and Mr.Siegel aka. Hari. With the money they had taken from a loan shark - Michaell "Henkie".

Roleplay title: Time for land investments

It was a day for investments. The Patriarchs have planned to buy a couple of lands across San Andreas which they saw in some advertisements over the web. They were possibly about to be used for future industry development or for other purposes of the Empire which we didn't know yet. Phone calls have been made with the landlords and meetings were scheduled. Everything went smoothly except with one of them. He was really stubborn and kept insisting on the fact that there was already another buyer. Minutes after "proper" business talk and good looking deal for both sides, the landlord changed his mind and was convinced that it would be better to sell it to us. The Empire has always had its ways of doing business.

Roleplay title:  Endangered finances Part 2

The individual from the recent events which involved vehicle fire incidents across Underground Empire's casinos had to be uncovered. This time, a couple of soldiers were tasked to set up a trap by parking an expensive vehicle on the parking lot of Clown's Pocket Casino. Some time passed before the figure with the hoodie on appeared. He was constantly rotating his head, being paranoid, obviously - an amateur.

The soldiers moved in and caught him without giving him a chance to escape. He was invited to accompany them in a ride which he couldn't really refuse. The individual has been interrogated properly by applying the methods of the Empire. It turned out that he got paid by a rich man with a beard, around his 40s with black formal clothing style who he met at a bar located in west Las Venturas. We knew he was talking about the Vice Bar owned by our former ally - The Outfit. It was time for revenge!

Roleplay title: Endangered finances Part 1

Several vehicle fire incidents have happened at the parking lots of Underground Empire's casinos - Clown's Pocket Casino, Royal Casino, The Visage. The patriarch is sending a couple of soldiers to the scenes to obtain information about the events happening lately. After checking the CCTV footage, the same person with a hoodie on appears to be responsible for the arson on all parking lots. What seemed interesting, is that he was targeting expensive vehicles. Underground Empire decides to take measures into their own hands, because those events weren't random. Their purpose was to scare the customers and make bad image of our casinos. Someone was trying to harm our economy.

Roleplay title: Time is money

Participants: @Absent, @Hari, @Ammar, @zKill98, @Bucky

A typical day for Underground Empire one would say - gambling at Four Dragons Casino and enjoying their free time, but it wasn't just that. They were actually waiting for two important persons, who would help them with the permits required for the construction of the new casino. Currently, it was just a construction site and they needed those permits, so the construction process continues. The usual way for aquiring the papers would normally take too much time, so they couldn't afford losing time, because time is money.

The gentlemen were called Pietro Rossi and Joe Bananas. Upon arrival, they were treated well before talking business with us. They had our permits for which the men received money. After that, Pietro and Joe headed with us to the construction site. We had a small talk about the future and how everything was going to look. Time flew by, so it was time for us to go and attend other business meetings. The permits were delivered by some soldiers to Las Venturas City Planning Department and we were no longer worried about the casino construction being slowed down ever again.

Roleplay title: Information as a powerful and profitable tool

Participants: @Absent, @KarDeL, @zKill98, @Epicxx, @Ment, @dan, @Dovahkiin

Underground Empire has many contacts across the law enforcement agencies, which means that we receive valuable information prematurely. That day, we were notified about the exact time and location of a money transport which was going to happen.  Our hands don't usually get dirty, so we had to find someone to do the dirty job for us. And what better opportunity than hiring a couple of amateurs, known under the name Road Bandits. Of course, doing this with them was rather dicey since they are amateurs, meaning unpredictable, but gambling is in our blood, so we went for it.

The luck was on our side. Surprisingly, they executed it like professionals - quick, organized robbery without chaos, panic and unnecessary casualties. Hours later, we met them at the desert where the exchange happened. We gave them their cut, moved back to our residency and stored the money in the vault.

Roleplay title: A chance for reselling

Participants: @Absent, @Hari, @Ammar, @Ment, @posho

A few days ago, Underground Empire made a great deal with All Load Trucking about firearms. Of course, it wasn't only about resupply, but to make profit from it. What better opportunity than reselling them to our long lasting ally - The Outfit. The emperor made some quick calls before he gathered some soldiers. They loaded the van with the firearms and soon enough they were on their way to the meeting point.

It was a logging camp located in north-west Red County, called The Panopticon. Underground Empire arrived there first. They went outside and started waiting patiently. Five minutes later, a black van approached from west. It was them - The Outfit. Just like many times in the past, the selling has been made rather quickly and both parties went on their way. Before returning to their residency, Underground Empire stopped by their warehouse and parked the empty van to be ready for future deals.
