Mob Boss

 

Ranks & Titles

• Boss
• Boss-mhòr
• Boss-oyabun

On the surface, Kutsukku looks like a oligarchic republic like many thalassocracies, but right along side those voted into power are those who rose up to take power for themselves though violence, bribery and intimidation. The city of Kutzk harbors a vast criminal underworld, one that outsiders might miss but those living under the nation's flag are all too aware of. Gangs are common in the city, though most are often no more then a gaggle of thugs and delinquents that have come together as a 'family' for survival. But the title of Boss comes with a heavy weight, and few are willing to risk claiming it for themselves without the muscle to back it up. Generally, those who do are laying claim to a whole district. Above Bosses are the Boss-mhòr - three* in total, one for each region, with the district bosses under them operating only with their blessings. However, failure to find common ground could spell the end for a boss-mhòr if the small time boss had the drive and the backing to usurp them.

_{*the Kid would claim the title for himself as the first Boss-mhòr of the Scrap Yard bringing the total to four for a short period in the late 1510s.
This role would not be refilled once he vacated.}

At the top of all of them, leading from inner most walls of the Fortress - sometimes even sitting in the official seat of power in the Citadel, is the Boss-oyabun themself. Even if the boss-oyabun was not the official city leader, those voted into power still cannot stay in power with out their cooperation, and vice-versa, meaning more often then not - to secure their position, inevitably, one person will take on both roles, typically though a bloody confrontation.
