Syndicates
Criminal organizations who are the opposing forces to Fixers, and also often conduct raids on their Offices. They are comprised of gangsters and thugs who engage in several shady activities linked to organized crime and share a common goal. Syndicates go out of their way to prove themselves in gaining a reputation in the Backstreets such as by black markets, contraband, and hit jobs. Not all Syndicates are necessarily bad as some choose not to take the responsibilities and restrictions that being a Fixer of an Office or Association brings. Some Syndicates even exist to track down and stop other Syndicates making them resemble more like vigilantes. What's guaranteed for a Syndicate to rise into power is to raid and annihilate Offices, and the bigger and more seasoned the Office, the greater the infamy is received. Wings also will sometimes hire Syndicates as thugs to handle business matters they can't do officially. Syndicates are placed into a social hierarchy, where established ones with their powerful bosses in dictating districts at the top, but the ones that rise above all of them are the Five Fingers.

    In General 
  • Band of Brothers: Despite being dangerous thugs, Syndicate members are unlikely to betray their own people and treat each other like comrades as opposed to Fixer Offices who are often rife with betrayals. Justified, because Fixers fear death and the negative emotional impacts caused by the death of a close one, forcing them to be as distant as possible, while Syndicates basically feed on death and thus don't have such concerns.
  • The Syndicate:
    • It's in the name, and they can vary from typical street goons to extensively structured mafia gangs who can't be effectively controlled by the Wings, and even the Head can't regulate them as much as they do with their fellow Wings bar some fundamental laws such as gun control.
    • Later, Limbus Company would reveal that The City classifies any non-Wing, non-Fixer Office organization as a Syndicate, up to and including The Associations, which are otherwise whole organisations that act as the superiors to any associated Fixer Office below them and work with the blessings of The Head itself.
