The Birky Lore
The Birth Of Birky
In a small american town in the 1980s and 1990s a woman named Jenna "Birky" had four children in the space of ten years, each of them with a seperate father, our mother was nicknamed Birky due to her only wearing the Birkenstock shoes, we never really understood why, some rumours was that she fell in love with the CEO of Birkenstock Shoes, others say she just liked the shoe, but growing up mother would have all sort of men around and they would all call her "Birky".
We had a very sheltered life growing up on a farm in mid-west America. We didn't really see much of the outside world and never really understood what was happening, many times business men would appear at the farm and do business with our mother, though we aren't sure what type of business she was in, god bless her soul, but it was clear some of these men were dangerous from the armed guards which would attend the farm with them.
Two of our brothers were from a German father and the other two were from a British father. There is rumours more brothers may exist but we aren't sure. We all worked on the farm and were home educated living a happy life on Birky Farm. Our mother was a respectful and kind woman and looked after us well.
The Rise Of Birky
It was a rainy day when we came in from the field to find our mother had left us, she had left no note and no indication where she had gone. We panicked and try to search for our mother but she was not to be found. This was a sad day for the Birky Boys as we now had to fend for ourselves, thankfully our skills on the farm came in handy and we were self sufficient for some time, that is until we recieved a letter in the mail from a cryptic person claiming our mother was alive and well in Los Santos.
The Birky Boys decided to travel to Los Santos to find our mother and work out what exactly had happened to her...
Our arrival to Los Santos
We sold the farm and headed to start a new life in Los Santos. We initially kept our heads underground and worked hard trying to uncover the mystery of where Mother Birky had gone, but due to the large gang presence our eldest brother got into a dispute with a local gang and was stabbed and violently killed.
This sent shockwaves through the last three Birky Boys, a gang had taken perhaps our mother and now killed our eldest brother?

The Birky Principals
The Birky Principles, at their core, embody the unyielding bond of brotherhood and the relentless pursuit of prosperity, tempered by the shadows of past traumas. The Birky Boys, though not a gang in the traditional sense, operate with a code that prioritizes family above all else. This code forms the backbone of their decisions and actions within the volatile landscape of Los Santos.
- Opportunism and Adaptability: In the ever-shifting dynamics of Los Santos, the Birky Boys are known for their adaptability. They seize opportunities as they arise, always calculating the best move to advance their position. Whether it's a lucrative business deal on the right side of the law or a high-stakes venture in the city's underground, they weigh their options with a keen eye on the prize - financial security and the well-being of the family.
- Aversion to Gangs: Stemming from the tragic loss of their youngest brother and the mysterious disappearance of their mother, the Birkys harbor a deep-seated mistrust and resentment towards organized gangs. This distrust shapes their interactions and alliances within Los Santos. They are cautious, often preferring to operate independently, and are known for their reluctance to engage in the city's gang politics unless absolutely necessary.
- Family First: Above all, the Birkys value family. This isn't limited to blood relations; it extends to a tight-knit circle that earns their trust and respect. They are fiercely loyal to one another, ready to provide support or avenge any wrongs against their kin. This loyalty has earned them respect, but also cautious wariness from other groups who understand the depth of their bond.
- Morality in a Gray World: While they often operate in morally ambiguous territories, the Birky Boys do have lines they refuse to cross. They avoid unnecessary suffering of anyone and strive to maintain a sense of honor in their dealings. This moral compass, though not always conventional, sets them apart from the more ruthless factions in Los Santos and are seen to be more trusted when making deals with other groups.
- Legacy of the Lost: The memory of their lost brother and mother fuels their ambitions and decisions. They seek not only to build a legacy in their honor but also to uncover the truth behind their disappearance. This quest often leads them down paths intertwined with the city's deepest secrets, compelling them to navigate a complex web of alliances and enmities.
- Masters of Anonymity: In the sprawling city of Los Santos, where every action can attract unwanted attention, the Birky Boys have cultivated an aura of mystery around themselves. They are virtually ghosts, their true identities hidden behind a veil of secrecy. This anonymity is not just a preference; it's a survival strategy in a city rife with danger and betrayal.
- Legends and Rumors: Due to their secretive nature, the Birky Boys have become the subject of numerous urban legends and rumors throughout Los Santos. Tales of their exploits are whispered in back alleys and high-rise offices alike, but no one knows the truth. Are they vigilantes, criminals, or something entirely different? The city is rife with speculation, but the brothers remain a step ahead, their true story known only to themselves.
The Birky Operation
The Birky Boys, known for their secrecy and anonymity, have carved out a unique niche in Los Santos by specializing in the collection and analysis of information. This intelligence-gathering operation is the backbone of their influence in the city.
- Sophisticated Surveillance: The Birky Boys have set up an extensive network of surveillance throughout Los Santos. This includes employees who work for them to take photos and capture evidence, they may also have rats inside organisations who gather information. They capture footage of important meetings, transactions, and movements of various groups and individuals.
- Field Agents and Informants: Disguised members of the group, often seen as masked men lurking in the shadows, are skilled in covert observation and photography. They blend into the environment, gathering intelligence on the ground. Additionally, the Birky Boys employ a network of informants across different sectors of the city, from street-level informers to those embedded in higher echelons of society.
- Database of Secrets: All collected data is meticulously organized and stored in a secure, encrypted database. This database is the Birky Boys' most prized possession, containing detailed profiles on citizens, criminals, politicians, and anyone of interest. It includes personal information, habits, schedules, weaknesses, and secrets that can be leveraged.
- Information as Currency: The Birky Boys use this information in various ways. They might sell it to the highest bidder, whether it's another gang, a business entity, or even law enforcement. Alternatively, they use it to manipulate or coerce individuals and groups, influencing the city's dynamics to their advantage.
- Bribery and Blackmail: The information in their possession also serves as a powerful tool for bribery and blackmail. They can dismantle rival groups or obstruct plans by revealing damaging information at critical moments. Conversely, they can protect allies or neutral parties by withholding information or feeding misinformation to their adversaries.
- Defensive Measures: The Birky Boys take a non-confrontational approach but are not to be underestimated. If provoked or threatened, they retaliate by unleashing the power of their gathered intelligence. This could mean exposing a gang's operations to the police, revealing a politician's corruption to the media, or even turning rival gangs against each other.
- An Unseen Watchful Eye: Their presence is often felt rather than seen. The sight of a masked figure taking photos from a distance has become a sign that the Birky Boys are watching. While they generally operate with a hands-off approach, those who interfere with their surveillance efforts or pose a threat find themselves targeted by the very information they hoped to keep hidden.
