Club History The Pagan's Motorcycle Club is one of the most infamous outlaw biker gangs in the U.S, being founded in 1959 by Lou Dobkin in Prince George’s County, Maryland. Originally, they were more of a social riding club, centered around motorcycles and brotherhood, being fairly non-violent and more about camaraderie or riding. But by the late 1960s, they had shifted into a full-fledged outlaw motorcycle gang (OMG), adopting a more organized structure, embracing the outlaw lifestyle, and gaining a reputation for violence and criminal activity along the East Coast. A swelling mass of new members put the Pagans on the path to evolve into an OMG. The Pagans claim to have invented and adopted the 1%er patch, referencing the newspaper articles of the time. This 1%er patch was quickly adopted by most other OMGs. A swelling mass of new members put the Pagans on the path to evolve into an OMG. A swelling mass of new members put the Pagans on the path to evolve into an OMThe term "1%er" comes from the notion that 99% of motorcyclists are law-abiding, and 1% are the “outlaws.” The Pagans embraced that identity. Fashion Members wear sleeveless denim vests (sometimes leather) with their club patches (“colors”). The back patch features the Norse fire giant Surtr holding a flaming sword, along with the word Pagans and the “1%er” diamond. Unlike some other clubs, their cuts are often plain blue denim rather than fancy customized leather. The style is meant to feel intimidating and raw, a reflection of their violent reputation. Compared to other outlaw clubs that sometimes play into “biker fashion,” Pagans keep a more street-level outlaw appearance. Their look is completed with blue jeans, boots, plain tees or flannels, and minimal accessories like bandanas, chains, or dark sunglasses, with many also displaying club-related tattoos on visible areas of the body. Unlike some rival clubs that favor more elaborate or customized gear, the Pagans deliberately keep their fashion rugged and unembellished, projecting a no-frills image of toughness and loyalty to the brotherhood. Keeping with their own traditions, the Pagan's refer to their vests and patches strictly as “colors,” not “kuttes” like many other motorcycle clubs do. This distinction is more than just wording, it reflects their identity and the seriousness with which they regard their membership. To a Pagan, the colors are sacred, representing loyalty to the club above all else. Criminal Background & Expansion The Pagans are considered one of the “Big Five” outlaw motorcycle gangs in the U.S., alongside the Hells Angels, Outlaws, Bandidos and Sons of Silence. Law enforcement agencies classify them as a serious organized crime group tied to drug trafficking (meth, cocaine, heroin), weapons smuggling, extortion, racketeering, as well as violent crimes directed at rival gangs, including arson, assault, bombing, extortion and murder, especially against the Hells Angels. At their height, the Pagans had thousands of members. Mostly concentrated along the East Coast (MD, PA, NJ, NY, VA, NC), with signs of aggressive expansion. Their internal structure is rigid, with a “Mother Club” leadership that controls chapters nationwide, and their reputation is built on extreme violence. The Pagans have also been linked to La Cosa Nostra crime families in Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, New York and New Jersey. The club also utilizes puppet clubs, affiliated street gangs and female associates to carry out retail drug distribution. The Pagans have been involved in rivalries with various other motorcycle gangs, most notably a long-running feud with the Hells Angels. In recent years, the Pagans are no longer content with their traditional East Coast stronghold, steadily moving westward into states like Ohio, Indiana, and even parts of California where rival clubs have long dominated. This push reflects both recruitment drives and the absorption of smaller regional clubs, signaling a deliberate attempt to extend their influence nationwide. Their growing presence in the Midwest and beyond has raised alarm among federal and local law enforcement agencies, who view the expansion as an effort to challenge rival organizations and gain greater control over drug distribution corridors that stretch across the United States.

The Iron Order Outlaw Motorcycle Club is an all-white outlaw motorcycle club that originated in Portland, Oregon. The Fort Carson charter was established to build a strong presence in the state of San Andreas and to solidify the club’s name in the Bone County area. Members are expected to be more than just bikers, they are representatives of a way of life deeply tied to American culture and history. The club is built around loyalty to its colors and the preservation of old-school outlaw motorcycle traditions. The club sustains itself through a combination of illegal activities common to organized crime in San Andreas. These ventures provide a steady income for the charter and ensure its independence from outside influence. Profits are cycled back into the club to support its members, their motorcycles, the clubhouse, and to maintain influence in the region. Iron Order OMC wears the Iron Cross on their backs . A symbol that for the club represents strength, discipline, and brotherhood. For its members, it carries the weight of the history they uphold and the determination to protect the club from any outside influence. The move into Bone County had been in the works for a long time, with the goal of making Fort Carson the new stronghold of the Iron Order in the state of San Andreas. For now, IOMC holds no active rivalries with other organizations. Still, the club maintains strict control over its territory and will not hesitate to respond to anything that could be seen as disrespect or a threat. " Live by the cross, die by the colors "

ABOUT The Hell Runners Motorcycle Club or the HRMC is a 1% Motorcycle Club originally coming from the Tri-State Region (New York (NY), New Jersey (NJ) and Connecticut (CT)) that was founded by Kevin Portillo and James Deckert in 1984 as a group for motorcycle passionates. The club later got involved in multiple illegal actions such as racketeering, drug and arms dealing, prostitution and arson which got them under the radar of the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives (ATF). The New Jersey chapter was considered to be the original one, with the 5 founding members coming from that area; usually all-charter churches were held in Lakehurst, New Jersey being considered one of the more iconic landmarks for the club, with most of the members calling it the mother-chapter. At the moment, the US Department of Justice declares that there are over 500 sworn-members over the 50 states in America, being considered one of the most dangerous gangs in the US. The club is not officially a racially segregated organization, although no afro-american members are apart of the HRMC. ORGANIZATION Each Hell Runners chapter in the United States is organized in a rank structure, consisting of a President, a Vice-President, a Secretary/Treasurer, multiple Sergeant-At-Arms, Road Captains and Enforcers. Each of the existing chapters has autonomy over their members/rankings and can make local-impact decisions on their own, without permission or summoning a church at the mother-chapter's location. ((OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION)) This faction is aiming to portray a realistic 1% MC, inspiring ourselves from existing motorcycle clubs from the United States. Gaining membership in the faction is done strictly IC (In Character) and we do not condone any type of favoritism but we encourage you to bring your friends along in our faction. We strive to follow all of the rules of LS-RP and enforce them at all times within the faction. If you have any questions or concerns about our faction, you can reach out to me (@danut) or @trickster.

FORT CARSON MAN BELIEVED TO BE CONNECTED TO BIKER GANG FACES ASSAULT, DRUG AND WEAPON CHARGES. Frank Perry • FC News Network Published Oct 10, 2024 • Last updated Oct 11, 2024 • 4 minute read Fort Carson Sheriff's Office seized drugs, weapons and cash in a raid last wednesday. — photo courtesy of the Fort Carson Sheriff's Office. Fort Carson Sheriff's office investigated an individual following an incident that took place last Tuesday. Matthew Casttelini, 24, was arrested during the sheriff's operation. It all started with an altercation. Following what looked at first like a road rage incident, Matthew Castellini confronted a male on a motorcycle outside a gas station store on Main Street in Fort Carson. The victim was struck by a baseball bat several times. Deputies say they don’t know how badly the other biker was injured because he left the scene. The victim refused to cooperate with authorities, but the incident was caught on security camera footage at around 5:22 p.m. on October 9. Images show a heavily tattooed man arriving in a pickup truck, climing out of the truck with a baseball bat in hand before unleasing an aggresive attack on the man sitting on a motorcycle. Alerted by pedestrians witnessing the assault, the Sheriff's Office arrived while the suspect was still on the scene, casually buying a pack of cigarette inside the convenience store. During his arrest Castellini was heavily intoxicated and several baggies of cocaine were found in his vehicle, enabling a search warrant at his residence in Fort Carson the next day. Following Castellini's home search, deputies found what happened to be one of the most significant drug bust of the year for the small-town Sheriff's Office. ''We seized several items including two handguns, one long pump action rifle aswell as a semi-automatic firearm and approximately 1/4 of a kilogram of cocaine, 6 onces of marijuanna, and nearly 200 pills of ecstasy. On top of that roughly $12,000 in cash money was found in the storage shed.'' Said Deputy Sheriff William Bradford. Bradford said Sheriff's Office also seized several supporter clothing items with the Soul Slayers MC logo, including hoodies, T-shirts and a belt buckle with the biker's club skeleton logo engraved. ''It's the first time we're seeing this motorcycle club in the county. And because it has never been documented before, it leads us to believe that this could be the accessories of a relatively new biker gang trying to establish itself in the state of San Andreas.'' Braford specified that no biker vests with patches nor even a motorcycle were found at Castellini's home, leading to speculation that the 24 years-old is likely only an aspiring member of the club, and thus a minor actor in what seems to be a larger drug trafficking network. Matthew Castellini, 24, the day of his arrest; 2024-10-08. Matthew Castellini of Fort Carson has been charged with assault with a weapon, possession of an illegal weapon, possession of a prohibited weapon, two counts of possession of a restricted weapon, and multiples counts of possession of a controlled substance with intent to sell. The accused is scheduled to appear in court on Monday.
