History
Seven Years' War
During the Seven Years' War, several gangs were active in the American colonies, working with the Assassins. The leading Assassin figure among the gangs was Hope Jensen, a member of the Colonial branch of the Order.[1]
The gangs were often led personally by Assassins, acting either as ship captains or as leaders within gang hideouts. They also made heavy use of various gases, often storing them in large barrels, or using them in the form of grenades similar to the Turkish Assassins.[1]
When in control of an area, the gang members would hang large orange banners from buildings and clothes lines, some bearing the Assassin insignia, as well as marking graffiti on walls. Upon liberation from their control, these markers would go away, save for a few buildings owned by people without the proper money and resources to renovate the buildings themselves.[1]
Gangs also performed actions similar to those of pirate hunters when too many French Navy or gang ships were sunk.[1]
Victorian era
During the Victorian era, various gangs were active around London, primarily paid off by the British Templars, one of whom controlled each of the major gangs in the city and ruled the entire city with an iron fist. In retaliation, Jacob and Evie Frye of the British Assassins formed the Rooks in order to take back the city through the utilization of organized crime.[2]
