Stilwater once a bustling prosperous city. It was a mark of hope, an inspiration to the world that something good can come from the works of man. It's fall however sent an even harsher message, the corruption was slow. A subtle creeping rot that went ignored to long by the cities protectors until it was to large to be cleansed. Los Carnales the red plague that first beset the city. A Hispanic drug cartel with connections a large Colombian cocaine distributor, their gang was small at first slowly seeding the cities underbelly with their addictive product. The rise in available drugs brought a rise in addicts who were willing to commit more crimes to feed the habit. As their territory spread more were needed to distribute their product and as their sellers increased they needed more protectors. They began recruiting from the locals. Soon other small gangs began to pop up and attempt to get in on the new large drug market which made Los Carnales become more actively violent to enforce their dominance. About ten years after their arrival in Stilwater their influence had spanned the entire city and everyone knew of the gang. Then in the district of Sunnyvale Gardens, a middle class district that was falling on harder and harder times under the control of the drug cartel, a new gang began to form. Calling themselves the Vice Kings after their leader Benjamin King, learning from the failings of the past the Vice Kings choose instead of attacking the drug market they choose to take advantage of the increasing number of women that had been forced to turn to prostitution. They were a much faster growing power than the older gang having desperation to fuel their recruitment they quickly expanded to cover the majority of the middle city taking and maintaining control of their territory and plunging the already crumbling city into a violent gang war. In the chaos and turmoil a wealthy man from the suburbs saw the opportunity he had been waiting on. Supplying black market automotive parts acquired through the theft and stripping of vehicles the Westside Rollerz struck at the rear of the distracted Vice Kings territory And claimed the upper city for themselves. Soon the gangs fell into a pattern of holding territory from one another and expanding their illegal activities to run the gamut from drugs and prostitution to gun running and assassination, and the poor district of Saints Row had become their battlefield. This war torn projects district was constantly being bombarded with the sounds of gunfire and arson. The finding of bodies was a commonplace sight to the paupers who took residence here. But now the people are fed up with the war, fed up with the gangs, and now they rally to the cry "Take back the row!"
