Crime Kingpin

CREATURE 12

Kingpins build empires from the shadows, ruling their territory ruthlessly and keeping their business private. Most forge connections with the rich and powerful, doing dirty work for politicians and minor nobles in return for influence and favors that can be called in at any time.

In the underbelly of society, the lawless reign supreme.
