Five Fingers
The Five Fingers, also known as the Fingers of the Backstreets or the Hand, are a group of Syndicates who are labeled as Stars of the City and run the Backstreets of the City. They are among the major antagonistic factions and guest groups in the game.
Description
Overview
Ranked as Stars of the City, the Five Fingers are the largest, most powerful Syndicates in the City, having enough power and influence to even rival the Wings themselves. As the term implies, the Fingers are five Syndicates each named after a type of finger: the Thumb, the Index, the Middle, the Ring, and the Pinky. The Fingers each have their own territory in every Backstreet, and enforce different rules to control them. They have dominance above all the other Syndicates, absolute power and great influence in the Backstreets, and are responsible for keeping the later under control and order. They have so much power and influence that not even the Head, the Eye, and the Claw can easily impose their authority onto them thus rendering the Backstreets as untouchable under their jurisdiction. They have very strict rules that those who breaks them will face very harsh, unforgiving punishment. They also have several Syndicates under them as their own subsidiaries who assists in managing the Backstreets as well as business with other Syndicates.
Relations
Between Fingers
Like many Syndicates, the Fingers are rivals and don't usually get along with each other, often getting into arguments and turf wars over territory or other matters. In fact, among those did not participate in the war for the control of the destroyed Nest L and excluding the Middle who were busy recovering from the devastating attack by the Black Silence who decimated several of their operations under one of their divisions formerly led by Tanya, the Ring and the Pinky were in a major civil war with one another.
Finger Bow-Bell
The top brass of all Fingers along with representatives of all their respective subsidiaries will occasionally come together at a meeting called a "Finger Bow-Bell" to discuss practical ways to control the Backstreets, as well as manage their territories. Not much else is known about Finger Bow-Bells currently.
