The Saints/3.0

The Saints first began in late spring 2021 and worked in the shadows of Los Santos. The crew often resided in the motel in upper Vinewood, located East of the Vault and Southeast of the 24/7 convenience store. After being informally evicted by Cerberus, they purchased Bean Manor and still own the house to this day. For a majority of 2023, the gang held down the block of apartments across from Hawick Bank & VLC, formerly occupied by JustUs.

In Sept. 2023, Saints made the decision to move down to the Russian Docks, formerly held down by NBC. They received blessings from both NBC and BSK and decided it would be best for the group as a whole to make the official move.

Currently, the Boss is Maverick Adler and the Underboss is Adam Prince. On Sept. 27th, 2023, the gang was finally given the official Gang App after successfully completing missions given to them by Mario/Hydra a few days beforehand.

History[]

In Spring of 2021, a pair of Aussie Hayes mechanics met. One of them, Adam Prince was an individual who had experience in dealing with guns and other various weapons, both in 2.0 and 3.0. The other, Simon Riley was introduced to this world of extensive and dangerous crime. Adam gained Simon's trust by convincing Shane Powers, one of the managers at Hayes at the time, to hire Simon's friend, Viola Ends, as a mechanic. They mainly did secretive drop-offs to gangs around the city and individuals interested in purchasing.

Shortly thereafter, Maverick Adler and Miles Malstrum, also mechanics at Hayes and friends of the original pair, were added into the mix. Others came along soon after, including Harry Park, Viola Ends, Alfred Neuman, and Billy Mang in the weeks following. Most of the members focused on being white collared individuals, while they quickly bonded with each other and easily gained each other's respect and trust. Over time, they began to call themselves something closer than friends, but more of a family.

In early August 2022, the gang was approached by Lang Buddha, who was not happy that yet another criminal organization had set foot into Vinewood. Several civil meetings ensued between the higher ups at the time (Bertha, Billy, Maverick) and Lang with his own group of very close business partners (Harry Brown, Dean Watson, Leslie Lingberg, and Speedy, who the Saints also had a close business relationship with since their formation). Lang was very adamant about keeping Vinewood a civilian district, most importantly the Vinewood Strip, which the Saints Compound was a block away from.

All of the Saints members weighed their options between abiding by Lang's request or choosing to face the backbone of the city and fight against Cerberus to keep their home. Eventually, a majority vote was conducted and they chose to leave their original compound. Just days before, Bean Manor was sold to Kevin Ram for 6mil. As a business partner with Bertha, he offered to sell the Manor to the gang for 10mil. Despite the huge markup, the members agreed that it was better to have a home than not at all, so they decided to purchase the Manor, and the title was officially transferred over to Billy Mang in early Sept.

Slowly, their turf expanded into the areas around the Manor, reaching into all of Rockford Hills in April 2023. The main obstacle in regards to turf was the VAGINA Act, which specifically prohibited any gang activity in Vinewood. This became less of an annoyance and more of an actual issue when the PD started targeting the Saints with a heavy presence as they were fighting in wars north of Olympic Fwy. Brian Knight was the biggest figurehead leading the charge against the gang, saying that they "belonged in the Southside" with how they were running around on rooftops with guns out.
