Unholy Trinity Cartel

The drug cartel in UT is run in layers. there is a hierarchy among the cartel. here is a brief run down of the families.

Valdez- this is the top family. Chavo has gone missing in recent months so the elder brother Roberto has waltzed in to keep a firmer hand in the area. Like most of the cartel families Roberto is married with several children. most of his "circle" consist of uncles nephews cousins. his eldest daughter Blanca(25) is already involved in the cartel and has been for some time along with her younger brother(23)

Hernandez- one of the secondary families. the patriarch is Pablo a man pushing 60, enjoying his time in California. the Hernandez families trickles down to gangs so they have a pretty firm trail leading around everywhere. Pablo was blessed with only one child, Mario, who was killed last year by a rival gang, although rumors abound that one of the lower families was directly involved. so various nieces and nephews fill the gap

Ramirez- a family fairly new to this level of power. ascended to this status by 45 yo Carlos not 2 years after his accession he was murdered. thinking that this would leave the family to fall. Carlos married smart and his wife Lourdes easily took over. she knew how men could be an her son,Jorge took on the main face of the family. although it was widely known if you wanted to know anything about the family or get anything done u had to impress Lourdes

Escobar- one of the families rapidly climbing the ladder. should one of the upper families fall out of favor this one is the first to fill that slot. for some odd reason there are very few females in the Escobar family. the wives stay secluded and the sisters/daughters nieces are very well behaved. the females are treated like princesses since there are so few and kept out of the lime light. poorer members are well known in the gang circuit very prominent among bloods. the females may know about the gangs but they themselves do not become gang members. there are rumors of the occasional tomboy but like the rest of the females of the escobar family she is a closely guarded treasure. Jesus is the almost elderly head with his sons hector and Chuy doing most the foot work

Perez- this family has just brought itself up from the streets so still very rough around the edges. more gang orientated headed by young Javiar, as of yet unmarried, impulsive but savvy. something of a playboy among the gang circuit.

Lopez- this family is barely above gang status, but it's the first hurdle. think of them as the watch dogs of the cartel. the perez and Lopez family spread themselves among the upper families. encouraging marriage and contacts. this family is one to keep watch on. they make look like ruffians but the alliance between them and the prez family make them a force to reckon with. headed by twins Renaldo and Rodrigo
