* KickTheSonOfABitch: [[spoiler:His wiping out the gangs to forward his own agenda and become a tyrant is somewhat monstrous, but none of them were particularly noble or benevolent in the first place. This is actually recognised by him as a good form of PR.]]

Los Muertos, "The Dead", have rapidly grown from a petty band of Central American drug deals intoan significant narcotics operation, dominating the two islands forming Pacific City's east side, a district now known as "La Mugre", The Dirt. The gang's "Death" designation was originally chosen to strike fear into those who might dare stand in their way. Now their name is more associated with the consequences of their vile trade. Los Muertos are formidable fighters with remarkable brute strength and brutality to match. They are also renowned vehicle specialists, stealing and customizing the finest cars and vans before using them to great effect in crimes and getaways. Beware that La Mugre's south island is packed roof tops that present an ideal retreat for athletic agents under extreme duress.

* CoDragons: All kingpin has six generals under them who each play a primary role in their organizations.

'''Los Muertos''', '''The Volk''' and the '''Shai-Gen Corperation''' are the three biggest and most powerful gangs in Pacific City, each dominating and controlling a district of the city, and being led by a kingpin and six generals.

His trust only extends to Melissa Fang-Yin. Doubt was blinded by her beauty and intellect. He rarely leaves his office on the top floor of a fortress like security complex overseeing the east side of the Corridor.

Natalya "White Fox" Gryzunova rose to power by strategic contact with selected bodies. Once she had their hearts, their trusts and their assets, she took their lives. This cunning and fierce woman craves control over her surroundings to compensate for her extreme volatility. She commands mindless, but dependable brought squads that maintain order in the Den. Gryzunova personally prepares her recruits in a training ground to the north of the Den, but she can be usually found where typically trouble thrives in the black market area to the south of the Den.

* BigBadEnsemble: The kingpins of each gang share the role in the first game. However, [[spoiler:The Director is the true BigBad]].

Viktor "Curse" Rabotnikov has dedicated his life to doling out death including contract killings for business, serial murders for killing, and comrade killing for career advancement. He now controls The Volk's vast munitions operation, overseeing the distribution of firearms from the armory in the old fort the Workers in the Den.

Dr. Baltazar Czernenko is Shai-Gen's Research Director. His most successful inventions are the emotion suppressants used to keep civilians docile, and the genetic accelerants used to create so-called super soldiers. Czernenko's work focuses on every unlawful, unethical and unfounded field of medicine. The results seldom practical or pleasant, Shai-Gen is confident another breakthrough is imminent. Fortunately for Czernenko, Pacific City provides a healthy supply of potential test subjects.

The Volk, The "Wolf" is a beast to be reckoned with. Tired of relentless fighting for poor pay and no recognition, hardened militia from all over Eastern Europe came together to put their skills to more profitable use: organized crime. The Volk brought with them it a strong pack work ethic, and a vast horde of munitions and armed vehicles of war. The mob's Wolves embrace strict military discipline and are experts in the use of firearms and explosives. They bolster their ranks with skilled illegal immigrants and use the rest as a disposable workforce. The Volk controls the entire industrial area of Pacific City, locally known as "The Den".

Once a petty band of Central American drug deals, Los Muertos, aka "The Dead", have become an significant nonnarcotics operation. They to control of the Two Islands that is Pacific City's east side, a district now called "La Mugre" (The Dirt). The gang's "Death" designation was originally chosen to strike fear into those who might dare stand in their way, now their name is more associated with the consequences of their vile trade. Los Muertos' members are formidable fighters with remarkable brute strength and brutality to match. They are also renowned Vehicle specialists, stealing and customizing the finest cars and vans before using them to great effect in crimes and getaways.

Unlike the other gangs, Los Muertos don't have a gimmick; they're just an absurdly large Hispanic [[GangBangers street gang]]/[[TheCartel drug cartel]].

Their "Wolves" embrace strict military discipline and are experts in the use of firearms and explosives. They bolster their ranks with skilled illegal immigrants and use the rest as a disposable workforce. The Volk controls the entire industrial area of Pacific City, locally known as "The Den". The district's most notable trait is thick suppressive smog, appropriate for such an oppressive regime.

Viktor "Curse" Rabotnikov has dedicated his life to doling out death including contract killings for business, serial murders for pleasure, and comrade killing for career advancement. He now controls The Volk's vast munitions operation, overseeing the distribution of firearms from the armory in the old fort the Workers in the Den.

The Shai-Gen Corporation is a sinister and pervasive force for evil. It was founded and funded by the previous government with a remit to evolve radical preemptive defense solutions. Its intensive scientific research, strategic influence initiatives and black propaganda yielded staggering and disturbing results. The burgeoning division became financially independent (probably through illicit sources) and more powerful than its original patron. This led to its purchase by a mysterious individual and the birth of not only the Shai-Gen Corporation, but as in resullt, the Agency. Shai-Gen is based in "The Corridor", a space created for the lavish lifestyle of its personnel and a superficial utopia for its numbed citizens.

Juan "El Numero" Martinez is the eyes and ears of Los Muertos, and thanks to his loyal "Bangers" knows everything about anything on the streets. Residing in the heart of the multi-level hill-side housing development on La Mugre's southern island, this manipulative and malicious criminal also holds Los Muertos' pierce strings. Martinez puts the gang's ample illegal earnings to especially effective use when threaten by hiring the best assassins money can buy.
