Aryan Legion
The Aryan Legion are an offshoot of the Aryan Brotherhood based in New England. Originally known as the ABM - Aryan Brotherhood of Massachusetts - their power and interested remain focussed in the bay state but they have cells and members from Blackmouth to Hartford. The leadership of the Legion are lifetime inmates in Souza-Baranowski Correctional Center in Lancaster, Mass, though have gangs throughout the prisons and correctional facilities of New England. Activities outside the prison system are centred around Boston, primarily involving drug trafficking and violence for hire. Individual cells are referred to as Companys or Troops and lead by a Captain. Some use german military or SS terminology (Kompanie or Division, lead by a Hauptmann or Sturmbannfuhrer)
Blackmouth is at the fringe of the Legion’s interests and influence. They are spread thin through the south of the city, operating primarily through cells and like-minded gangs. Their largest rivals are the Ushkovych (“mongrel slavs”) who aggressively protect their drug networks, and the United Black Nation (“filthy n****rs”), the nebulous ‘alliance’ of African-American gangs in the city.
Jackson’s Horsemen, the 1-8th Cavalry
The Legion company that used Jack’s as their bar of choice until it was destroyed [1] and the preeminent AL cell in Blackmouth. A close-knit cluster of working class men united by their experiences in prison and shared hatred of the lesser races. There are less than a dozen Horsemen, actual blooded members of the Legion who have done their time or otherwise made their bones, but they have gathered twice as many eager young thugs and skinheads who want to show the strength of the white race and make useful patsies and tools. They have little regard for alt-right types (“alt-light, more like!”), seeing them as all mouth but no will to do anything.
Recent History
- Appearances in Beneath Cold Boughs.
The Horsemen were first encountered by Morris during his ravenous rampage across the city, when he started a brawl in Jack's that culminated in him throwing a car through the front of the building [2]. One of their number identified Morris after the Children returned to Sebastian Park following their business with the Court, an incident that lead to Morris being shot several times [3]. Soon afterward, several of their number attempted to gun down Diana and Price [4], an incident that stirred up the Children and lead to Morris and Jane attacking the Horsemen at Jack's and ended with the bar burned to the ground [5].
