History
Halit Acar, an extortionist and gambler who had fought bravely in the First World War and War of Independence, gradually consolidated power and alliances with a variety of late 1920s and early 1930s Sharifistani gangs. They formed a "brotherhood" and elected him as their leader. Unlike most more recent Rogues' Guild bosses he was never killed and never went to prison for longer than three years at a time. He established rules for his organization: Not to make money drugs or prostitution, not to attack women, children or dervishes, not to seduce each others' wives etc. He was a popular amongst the Sharifistani peasants, however, due to giving to the poor and robbing unpopular nobles. After he died of lung cancer, his son, a hired gun and Korean War veteran named Ali Halit Acar, named took over. Ali Halit Acar was known for ruthlessness and violence as well as great cunning. After killing a number of powerful and,in some cases, popular nobles he became a hated figure. He was shot by the City of Industry Police in 1964. After his death he was succeeded by Gulîzêr Şêrdil (who was later shot by a rival) and then Redur Şêrdil (who was pardoned for his services in the 1st Danistarabian War)
