The Diamond Family
The Diamond Family is a crime syndicate which currently controls the Southwest Quadrant of Bridges.
History of the Diamond Family in Bridges
A large group of immigrant workers from the South African diamond mines settled in Bridges in the early 1500’s AC (After the Catastrophe). Proud of their unique identity, this disparate group of clans - many of Xhosa heritage - began to call themselves “Diamonds” and exclusively intermarry.
During the Alcatraz Coup, the Diamond clans banded together, seizing the Prison. Releasing the prisoners to cause more chaos, they recruited many of them to their cause as they fought for territory.
Tight-knit and secretive, the Diamonds were almost impossible for the other Families to infiltrate or woo members away from, and were the first to successfully claim a quadrant for their own.
