The Phoenix gang was one of the most well known Tier-1 gangs across the country. The main reason for this was their leader Sin who wasn’t one to shy away from showing off his powers. Unlike most of the Kings who seemed contend with secretly ruling from behind the scenes, Sin was very public in displaying his face and fighting on the front lines, especially if there was a group that annoyed him.
Even though his face was so public the other Kings didn’t attempt to go after him, or increase their influence, which, in a lot of ways, showed the power the Phoenix gang had. This was precisely the reason why two people from a small Tier-3 town had decided to join them, Raven and Gil.
The two of them had nothing left behind for them at Slough. Gil’s parents had long since abandoned him, his consistent streak of getting into trouble had caused them to eventually give up on their son.
