The Syndicate	comment	The Syndicate is the autocratic superpower of the criminal world. It maintains an iron grip on the Black Market, commands battalions of armed guards and controls large sectors of land (from districts to cities or whole planets). Its influence might extend toward law enforcement, labor unions, politicians and corporations, whether through blackmail, bribery, coercion or simple business. Its many activities include racketeering, extortion, kidnapping, gambling, smuggling and trafficking. In addition to standard Mooks, its security apparatus may consist of a Murder, Inc., Bounty Hunters, Professional Killers and the Corporate Samurai. You know you're in trouble when the Syndicate somehow boasts Pinkerton Detectives and/or Private Military Contractors. Often, The Syndicate can be a bona fide N.G.O. Superpower. There are several ways to structure the culture and chain of authority within The Syndicate, but the most common would be for it to carry a distinctly corporate flavor. In this sense, the Syndicate operates its enterprise by setting up illegal monopolies or illicit criminal networks, all the while conducting themselves almost like a business clique. On a semantic note, a "syndicate" is nothing illegal per definition, as it is simply a group of companies working together for mutual profit (the most immediate example would be television syndication). However, "the Syndicate" only has one meaning in modern Western popular culture. In this sense, it may have gotten its name from the so-called "National Crime Syndicate" of ethnic gangs and the similarly vague "Commission," the Real Life governing body of the American Mafia. Both were organized by the Italian gangster Lucky Luciano and the Jewish gangster Meyer Lansky in the early 1930s. The former group didn't actually have a name (calling it the "National Crime Syndicate" came from the media, who had to call it something) and arguably wasn't even a group, more an informal agreement on the part of various gangs to stay out of each other's turf since turf wars are unprofitable and draw police attention. The only organized crime groups that had any real alliance were the Italian-American Mafia and the Jewish-American gangs. Not to be confused with a short-lived BBC1 Game Show hosted by Nick Ross, a longer-lived BBC1 drama of that name or the companies which distribute Newspaper Comics to the papers themselves or the video game of the same name. Compare the Nebulous Criminal Conspiracy and Nebulous Evil Organisation. Funnily enough, in Spanish "Sindicato" means both "Syndicate" and "Trade Union" (the same goes for the French "syndicat"). Make of that what you will. See also The Mafia (and its Russian cousin The Mafiya), The Irish Mob, The Triads and the Tongs, The Cartel, Yakuza, and Mafia Princess. For the Fantasy equivalent, see Thieves' Guild.

For example: speaking rudely without an elite's permission is punishable by having your tongue cut off. This applies regardless of affiliation: in one istance, a Thumb Capo gets punished because they disrespected Angela - who, at the time, was the Thumb's enemy, but considered higher-ranking due to her status as the Library's director.

The Syndicate / int_33728d94	comment	The House of the Jhereg in the Dragaera novels is mostly composed of this. Members of the House can be uninvolved in any real crime (as Jhereg allows entrance to those born into the nobility or cast out of other Houses by simply buying your way in, and while the House is disreputable it's still socially better than being a barbarian or peasant, there are other reasons to join), but the criminal organizations within it have no actual employees who aren't members. (Customers being preyed on, people being forced into criminal relationships, but not potentially valued colleagues.) While a combination of social pressure, fate and divine interference conspire to keep House Jhereg firmly within this trope, the details have changed over the Empire's vast lifespan - at times the House has represented an anarchy of street gangs, guerrilla fighters and commandos, or a secret society. At the "present" time of the books, there are actually two criminal organizations in House Jhereg, mostly nonintersecting: the Right Hand of the Jhereg, which functions as this trope, and the Left Hand, which has a monopoly on the ways in which sorcery can be used illegally and which is organized in a cell structure, more like a spy network or a cult. These hire each other as needed but have differing interests at the top levels which prevent unification.

The Syndicate / int_46d48eba	comment	James Bond As mentioned under Film, SPECTRE. Ian Fleming was worried that Cold War villains would get outdated and invented the organization as a politically neutral replacement for SMERSH. Their membership consists of alumni from The Mafia, the Union Corse, a Turkish criminal organization, and several Secret Police forces, including SMERSH. Despite their highly diverse origins, all of these people can reconcile for the kind of profits SPECTRE's crime offers. To hear James Bond tell it, SMERSH itself was one of these. They have no compunction against working with gangsters like Mr. Big, career criminals like Goldfinger, or serial killers like Red Grant (not as unlikely as it sounds — the US, at least, has historically used crime lords as intelligence agents). Raymond Benson's novels would give SPECTRE a spiritual successor in the form of the Union. Originally a small mercenary group founded by former Right-Wing Milita Fanatics, it eventually grows into the most powerful crime syndicate in the world, with associations in North America, Europe, the former Soviet Bloc and the Middle East. By the third book of the trilogy, it's enough of a threat that the world's major intelligence and law enforcement organizations have declared war on it.

The Syndicate / int_49a88442	comment	In Final Fantasy XIV, the Syndicate of Ul'dah is actually an official part of the city-state's ruling government, alongside the Sultanate. Most major decisions are made by vote with the Syndicate members and the Sultana. It's common knowledge that the Syndicate are corrupt and only looking out for themselves, and the Sultana is essentially reduced to a figurehead despite her efforts. When she tries to dissolve the Syndicate and the Sultanate to give power to the people in Ul'dah, she's assassinated by a psychotic member of the Syndicate (who is then killed immediately because he was too busy gloating), though it turns out that another member of the Syndicate intercepted the plan and faked the assassination to out the psychotic usurper...so that he could then control the Syndicate and the Sultanate. Basically, Ul'dah is full of self-serving people that push the selfless people out of their way.

The Syndicate / int_69d15cc0	comment	Marvel Cinematic Universe: Daredevil (2015): Wilson Fisk's cartel in season 1 qualifies. It takes control of the New York City underworld after muscling out the last remnants of The Mafia. The cartel brings together Russian human traffickers, white-collar criminals, and what appear to be the local branches of the Yakuza and Triads but turn out to be part of a much older and more nefarious death cult. The cartel has been mostly burned down by the end of the first season, which doesn't slow Fisk down one bit: when he's released in season 3, he simply sets up a new syndicate by extorting the city's crime bosses into working for him in exchange for not being sold out to the FBI agents he's managed to subvert during his time in prison. Luke Cage (2016): Late in Season 2, as she rebounds from losses incurred by her war with Bushmaster, Mariah Dillard allies her black mob with several of the other crime factions in Harlem, multiplying all their wealth and influence.

It's an Empire within an Empire (though predating it by centuries) and has a cozy arrangement with Palpatine (for example, providing logistical support to the construction of the Death Star) who considers it valuable enough that its leader, Xizor, is a respected member of the Imperial Court, the third most powerful man in the galaxy, and a rival to Darth Vader himself. All of its senior leaders are rich and powerful men independently of their Black Sun membership - Xizor is the CEO of the galaxy's largest transportation company, Durga leads a Hutt crime family that's powerful enough to rival Jabba's, Hityamun Kris is a Mandalorian warlord, etc. Later novels reveal that Black Sun accumulated most of its power not by bribery or intimidation, but by gathering information to blackmail high-level officials into cooperating, making it as much a private intelligence agency as a crime syndicate. (As a spy network, Black Sun is considered better than any Imperial agency, and second only to the - Rebel-affiliated - Bothan Spynet).

The Syndicate / int_91afdcba	comment	In Library of Ruina, "Syndicate" is just a synonym for any criminal gang, regardless of size and status. However, there's five extremely powerful organizations, collectively known as the "Fingers of the Backstreets", which control the most disreputable parts of the City and cannot be controlled by the City's rulers. Two Fingers are specifically explored during the story: The Thumb is styled after the Italian Mafia, and they take hierarchies extremely seriously. For example: speaking rudely without an elite's permission is punishable by having your tongue cut off. This applies regardless of affiliation: in one istance, a Thumb Capo gets punished because they disrespected Angela - who, at the time, was the Thumb's enemy, but considered higher-ranking due to her status as the Library's director. The Index has shades of being a Mystery Cult. On one hand, they don't extort money from civilians, and their members are forbidden from committing violence without justification. On the other hand, they sometimes give "Prescripts" to people (civilians or Index members), which usually are weird instructions like "in 400.000 meters, turn right". If followed, Prescripts always result in the Syndicate benefitting in some way; failure to follow them is punishable by instant execution.

Originally a well-connected fraternity of Ruthless Modern Pirates, they saw their power enormously increased when they were joined by Lady X (the heroes' archenemy), a World War II era spy who offered them a map of all the weapons, supplies, and equipment the Japanese military had left in hidden caches throughout the Pacific during their long retreat. Most of those weapons are obsolete, but it doesn't matter: the pirates are preying on civilian shipping, not professional navies, and most of the navies in the region don't have the means to field cutting-edge weaponry in any case. The resulting organization covers the entire western Pacific, extorts payment from even the wealthiest shipping companies in the world, and has friendly relations with several local governments.

The Syndicate / int_b5a2b326	comment	The Elder Scrolls III: Morrowind has the Camonna Tong, the native Dunmer Mafia. They're involved with nearly every seedy operation going on in Vvardenfell, particularly smuggling and drugs. They invert the Ruthless Foreign Gangsters trope, as they are much more ruthless than their Imperial import counterpart, the Thieves' Guild, who avoids murder and generally practices Honor Among Thieves. The way they operate is very Mafia-esque, with Orvas Dren as the kingpin of the operation while they conduct business out of legitimate bars and taverns. More recently, they've even gotten involved with the Sixth House cult, whose promises of driving the Empire out of Morrowind meshes well with the Tong's utter hatred of outlanders. The Tong has two members of the House Hlaalu council in their pocket, and also have control over the Fighters Guild due to controlling the faction leader's gambling debts. As if that weren't all bad enough, they also take it upon themselves to enforce Morrowind's pro-slavery laws, which includes hiring bounty hunters to ruthlessly hunt down escaped slaves while they themselves are known to use slaves as drug mules. Finally, their leader, Orvas Dren, is planning to have his brother, Duke of Vvardenfell Vedam Dren, assassinated.

The Syndicate / int_e6267766	comment	Star Wars Legends: Black Sun, the most powerful criminal organization of the galaxy, featured in Scoundrels and Shadows of the Empire. It's an Empire within an Empire (though predating it by centuries) and has a cozy arrangement with Palpatine (for example, providing logistical support to the construction of the Death Star) who considers it valuable enough that its leader, Xizor, is a respected member of the Imperial Court, the third most powerful man in the galaxy, and a rival to Darth Vader himself. All of its senior leaders are rich and powerful men independently of their Black Sun membership - Xizor is the CEO of the galaxy's largest transportation company, Durga leads a Hutt crime family that's powerful enough to rival Jabba's, Hityamun Kris is a Mandalorian warlord, etc. Later novels reveal that Black Sun accumulated most of its power not by bribery or intimidation, but by gathering information to blackmail high-level officials into cooperating, making it as much a private intelligence agency as a crime syndicate. (As a spy network, Black Sun is considered better than any Imperial agency, and second only to the - Rebel-affiliated - Bothan Spynet). The other main criminal element in Star Wars novels are the Hutt syndicates, called "kajidics." Those are criminal wings of the Hutt clans that have a loose governing body but fiercely compete with each other for control of the underworld. They are closer to traditional gangsters than Black Sun, mostly concentrating on control of the slave trade or the spice (drug) trade rather than Prince Xizor's high-stakes games in galactic politics. The two most powerful kadjidics in the original trilogy era were those of Desilijic (Jabba's family) and its main enemy Besadii (Durga's family, which eventually ends up being absorbed by Black Sun, at least until Xizor's death). In an earlier era, we've also seen the Crucible, a massive slave-trading organization that covers the entire galaxy. It was originally created by the Sith as a source of recruits: Crucible slaves would be made to fight each other in gladiator pits until they were forged into ruthless killers and their weaker members weeded out. (Since most of those slaves were kidnapped or press-ganged from the refugees created by the Sith wars in the first place, the process even feeds on itself). While the Sith Empire eventually collapsed, the Crucible lived on, sustained by the profit motive but maintaining the brutal methods they learned from their creators, until it's finally brought down about four millennia before the original trilogy.
