Angels

The Angels is the first female and female-led gang formed in Los Santos on New Year's Day 2020 by Cassie Cupcake , Claire Seducer , Violet van Housen , and Griselda Ambrose . The group has recruited male members since its formation.

Today they have achieved a lot of respect in the city with many groups, new and old, many coming to them for guidance in group affairs. Some groups still look down on them, but they do not know what the Angels do in the shadows, and it is best kept that way.

The Angels currently have a total of 15 full members and 2 associates.

General Description
Often viewed as "neutral" in gang relations, the Angels retaliate if you put down, kidnap, or rob any member. They primarily focus on executing jobs together, such as robbing Fleeca Banks and the City Vault. They are known for being loud, having high levels of "SBS ", and taking hours setting up creative heist getaways while wearing unique disguises.

They are one of the wealthiest gangs in the city. They consist of many top-level CEOs of numerous businesses across the city, successful business owners, and proficient criminals, with each member having their specializations, such as drug or weapons trafficking, hacking, boosting, street racing, or getaway driving. They are often jacks of all trades, though, and although they do not care what others think of them, they still have high expectations for themselves.

Each member has their separate friends and connections and eccentric ways of having fun together or apart. The one thing they try to pride themselves on is always having each other's back in the cut-throat city of Los Santos.

Meth Operations
Once meth tables arrived in the city, the Angels quickly moved into the drug production and distribution game.

Being one of the very few gangs in the city to purchase and maintain a meth lab, they became the first gang in the city to achieve 100% grade meth (with the strain, 187-albatross) and have taught others across the city how to accomplish that feat as well.

By doing so, their gang relations expanded, and on occasion they have struck deals with other gangs to supply meth.

Origins
On New Year's Day 2020, "Jessica," who was actually Cassie Cupcake in disguise, met Tupac Shakur  at Pillbox and asked him for drugs. Tupac told "Jessica" to follow him into his apartment. When they arrived, Tupac tried to sell her crack, but Cassie realized she did not have the money, so she offered to do any job for him. Tupac accepted and told her to do a "pawn run" for him.

While doing the pawn run with Tupac (because she did not know how to do one), The Families  pulled up behind them and kidnapped Cassie. The Families told Tupac that she is, in reality, Cassie Cupcake, and she robbed one of their members of 3 bricks of cocaine. Tupac assured them she was "Jessica," which they believed for some reason.

A few minutes later, they gave "Jessica" a mission to shoot a cop and steal their ID card. If completed, "Jessica" would gain even more of Tupac's trust. Tupac then allowed "Jessica" to leave to start her mission and told her she must do it alone, or it would not count — and to "not rat them out."

After leaving Pillbox, Cassie ran across the street and met Claire Seducer. She jumps into Claire's van and confides that she's in trouble. Cassie attempts to convince Claire to help her, but Claire refuses. Cassie then began screaming, which led to Claire agreeing out of fear. Tupac soon discovered that "Jessica" had roped in Claire and got angry. He met them behind some buildings and pulled a gun on them, trying to deduce if they snitched.

After Cassie and Claire began crying and pleading, Tupac decided against killing them and became more interested in Cassie's idea about them becoming "Tupac's Angels." He gave them a new mission: kidnap a police officer and cut off one of their toes. The girls searched for an officer, but after no luck, they found a random man, held him up at gunpoint, and cut off his toenails (not his toes).

Having "completed" the mission, the girls drove to an ammunition store which is when Cassie then saw a random girl, who ended up being Violet van Housen, in front of the courthouse, and they decide to kidnap her and tell her that she's "a part of this mess now." Unbeknownst to the girls, Tupac followed and watched them the entire time. And having seen enough, he tells them to follow him to the pier.

Once at the pier, Tupac pulls out a gun and tells Cassie and Claire to take Violet out of the trunk of their car. Violet promptly hops out with a gun and tries to shoot Tupac. He reacted quickly and shot down Violet, first, followed by Cassie and then Claire. Tupac fled the scene while the three girls lay in their blood waiting for rescue — and that's when Cassie knew she wanted the three of them to be a crew.



Initially all OG members of the Angels were equal and co-lead. In June 2020, they officially declared Claire as the leader and she selected Violet as her second-in-command. Things were going well until numbers began to dwindle to the point where Claire and Violet were the only two members in the city, often in different time zones.

As a result, many began considering the Angels a "dead gang." But neither Claire nor Violet gave up; eventually, old members returned, and new members came. Now, they are one of the biggest names in the city.

During those early days, Wayne Biggaz  and Juan Carlos "Flippy" Hernandez  often mentored the Angels on becoming effective and successful criminals.

Namesakes
Initially, many names were thrown around on what this new group should call themselves. Cassie suggested "The Baegalz" at first but ultimately the name "SBS Angels" was created on January 8th, 2020, by Cassie, Claire, and Griselda Ambrose  outside the courthouse. They did not care who did or did not like them (most did not) as long as they were having fun. Not long after they changed their name to just the "Angels," for two reasons:


 * 1) Chang Gang  wanted to tax them for using the term "SBS."
 * 2) They no longer considered themselves as "SBS" as they once were and they wanted to become a more serious gang in the city.
