Polo Gang

The Polo Gang, or Polo's Boys as some would call them, is a prominent outlaw gang in the shanty of Lowbrook in the city-state of Picesia.

Background
The Polo Gang find its roots in the hazardous and fateful meeting of two to-be robbers and outlaws, Matteo Polo and Alfred Curzon in the year 791 AC (after Conn).Polo and Curzon met in a vineyard in the domains of Castelforba. Polo had planned to burn a local nobleman's vineyard and attempted to knock out Curzon in his way, but realized Curzon had similar plans for both himself and the vineyard. When they both recognized their mutual skills and professions, they laughed it off and shared the journey back to Picesia. There, they decided to team up as inseparable partners to confront the deadly shanty of the city-state where the former wealthy Matteo decided to resign and Alfred had married a woman by the name of Maria. The Polo Gang was founded.

The former explorer, haunted by his journey to the unspoken lands of Ulrica and his crude reunion with the continent of Hessos, seduced Alfred and Maria with the quest for redemption- which he defined as "stealing from those with enough to share, feeding those needing feeding and burning what needs burning". Such words would become the code of the gang. Matteo Polo, after his perilous journey to Ulrica, seeks an ideal life free of any feudal or plutocratic rule and interference. With what some qualify as a silver tongue and a profound educated speech, Matteo would seduce many and consider himself a 'revolutionary'.

The founding pair in Picesia would initially rob and con high society, posing as successful merchants operating throughout Golding Bay and milking their coin into fictional trade routes and networks. Whilst this proved fruitful at first, both Matteo and Alfred were eventually discovered and arrested by a captain of the city guard. However, the shackled pair stumbled upon a sixteen winters old Brezhon orphan, unruly but stronger and swifter than most. By unknown means, the Brezhon boy released the pair from captivity, knocked out the guards and locked the captain inside his own cell. Eternally grateful, Matteo decided to take the boy under his wing. He named him Tacitus.
