CANON PREVIEWS . RESERVES: CLOSED
James King, known as Jimmy, the leader of The Reapers and the King of Sheffield’s Working Class. Married to Ava Rivers. 48 years old.
The Lockwood family, otherwise known as the Blue Brotherhood, is a mob of Italian descent whose gambling and luxury often means they are mistaken for genuine upper class British citizens. And they do have some degree of connection, since two of the family have married the rich and powerful- the second eldest son, whose wife is a minor aristocrat, and the eldest daughter, whose corrupt husband is the Mayor of the City of Sheffield. Their determination to make it in the elite of society has sometimes caused them problems, since nearly all of them have quite the temper.
For the most part, the Brotherhood try to leave The Reapers alone, since their paths cross very little. It is predominantly their lackeys that fight it out in the streets, with the heads of the families meeting to settle scores and make new arrangements. Most recently, however, the arrival of a force dedicated to ridding the city of all times of crime and deviance- from all walks of life- has given the two gangs reason enough to find common ground. With the Kings’ work and the Brotherhood’s lifestyle coming under fire, there has been much more co-operation.
Although the family have their roots in Southern Italy, most of the family have never even seen the place. Nearly all of the living Lockwoods have been born in Britain, where their grandmother married a Scotsman before they moved to Northern England. The family patriarch is a serious and isolated man who keeps himself to himself, ignoring his children as they run rampant through the city and surrounding areas.
For the children, as long as they have money from Papa they are quite content to do their own thing with very little structure but plenty of luxury and entertainment. Gambling, fine dining, drinking and dancing, trips to London and all the finery they could ever want is at their fingertips. Most nights the family can be found passed out in bars or clubs, sprawled over sofas or wandering home to sneak past Papas study door...
Their club, The Royal, is their gathering point, the impression of luxury and opulence, but hidden behind the doors to the staff areas is a hotbed of the seedier types of crime that they wouldn’t want the world to see.
For this post we will be giving you a little more information about the gang known as The Reapers. The front-man is James ‘Jimmy’ King, a notorious and formidable gangster with a thirst for social justice and a blood-lust to rival Jack The Ripper. If you are in King’s gang, you are guaranteed protection; if you’re out, you’d better watch your back.
Unlike The Blue Brotherhood, the Reapers do not have the advantage of an endless supply of money and political prowess. But whilst they my not be able to always sweet talk their way around a situation, they can certainly pack a punch. You would not like to be down a dark alley with The Kings, who come from a long line of boxers and wrestlers; Jimmy is currently the Northern Champion in the ring, although his youngest brother is proving to be a little star himself. His second in command, Dyer -known as The Deputy- holds the current UK title for shortest ever wrestling match in the World Championship - 18 seconds - but lost out on the Heavyweight title, a fact that he does not enjoy being reminded of.
Although The Kings are a traditional family, with many traditional values, the women in the family play a larger role now than they ever have before. The King family matriarch is a much loved and respected woman in the community, having given her late husband a large family and instilled in her sons and daughters very strict religious and social morals. Plus with three biological sisters and three adopted sisters, the King brothers are entirely outnumbered. Everyone gets involved in the family business although some prefer to keep to the light, whilst others are happy to get stuck in.
Around Sheffield, the Kings are known to be temperamental and violent when they aren’t under the watchful eye of their eldest brother or one of the girls. Their signature on their most loathed victims is the Glasgow Smile, though most will get away with some bumps, bruises, broken limbs and a damaged ego.
Despite their violent ways and their short tempers, the Kings try hard to be religious. Anyone not saying grace before the family meal is given a quick clap around the head and a few of the family go to church and even confession. To reaffirm his family’s religious stance, Jimmy King has recently married Ava Rivers, a local Quaker girl with a big heart and gentle ways.
Alongside the biological siblings are several adopted siblings, most of them orphans from Reaper families. Brought under the protection of the Kings, they have become loyal to the gang who keeps them safe and provides them with what they truly needed- a proper family.
Their local pub is named The Port and Anchor and inside Jimmy King is affectionately referred to as The Captain. You will regularly hear the Kings suggesting a trip “down t’ ship”, especially the younger ones, to have a drink or two...or three...or eight after a hard day’s work.
Recently, the King’s have had unexpected but very welcome visitors- their cousins from the South! In a London overwhelmed by a number of different gangs, have heard of the notoriety of their older cousin in the North and have made the journey to Sheffield to see if their is a place for them under Jimmy.
