BY's

''“It takes many steppingstones, you know, for a man to rise. None can do it unaided” - Joe Bonanno''

History of the BY's
Intially born in the 1960's and 70's in the Hill District out of the African American New Left Movement. The BY's named is rumored to a shortening of how the local say "Boy's" as in calling the boys or some say it came from the term Black Yinzers. Unfortunately a criminal element creeped into the organization, with many of the original founders leaving to find more prestigious organizations.Giving the name up to those who would tarnish it.

The BY'S are known for thier extensive drug rackets, being the largest drug pushers in the entirety of the City. Having a unique ability to sell them under the noses of the PBP.

The BY's and the Kindred
It was through the Marked who had become adept at smuggling in illicit substance and individuals into the city that the "BY'S" and one of thier leaders at the time Lars Whitehall become aquainted with Kindred Society. After a drug trade between the two was raided, Mitch who was attending as well as some other Gangrel "solved" the issue.

The "BY'S" seeing the Kindred ability knew they could get an upper hand and take even more territory with their help. Many of the BY'S drink Vitae from Gangrel using the abilities it grants to mortals to make the job less dangerous, and give them a hand in scuffles.

Eventually at the bequest of Mitch, Lars intitiated a hit on some a particularly troublesome Cop, in return for being Embraced. Lars used his abilities to consalidate that leadership in himself, and is loyal to his Sire ever since.

They operate an almost open war upon the cops of the city, which some would see as normal for a violent street gang, but truly it is a proxy war for control of crime with in the city limits one between the Nosferatu C.M. Quinn and the Gangrel Mitch.
