The Old World - Grim and Perilous Beta v3

Rogue
Racketeer
Racketeers make up the general ranks of most criminal organizations. They are experts
at extorting "protection" money from small businesses, which tends to be their
most lucrative operation. Successful racketeers move into such activities as loan
sharking, drug pedaling, prostitution and illegal gambling dens.
As a criminal venture increases in complexity, so too does the organization that runs
it. Some of the crime lords operate very large gangs, sometimes even the size of an
entire city or province. Most gangs, however, are smaller, employing a few racketeers
and thugs for muscle.
