The Griffins
Supposedly founded thirty years ago by a pair of bored nobles, the Griffins are a gang who focus their efforts on giving folk the illegal things they want, rather than victimizing folk.

- Badges: Brown leather bracer, with three slashes as though from talons, on left forearm. Many of the Griffins get tattoos of the gang's sign (the griffin) as well.
- Signs: A stylized griffin symbol, usually painted outside of establishments hosting Griffin Gathers.
- Activities: Drug dealing, fencing, middlemen for smuggler sales, host illegal gambling dens (in events called "Griffin Gathers"), illegal pit fighting.
- Hierarchy: The leader of the gang is referred to as the "Griffin King or Queen," or sometimes just "the Griff" for short. The current Griffin Queen is a human woman named Valesta. The gang's lieutenants are called "Wings," and they usually divide leadership of the rank and file between themselves.
