North End

The North End is a district of Boston in the Commonwealth $$

Background
The North End was settled in the 1630s, as one of the oldest neighborhoods in the Boston area. The district is part of the Freedom Trail, played a large role in the American Revolutionary War, and is also home to several significant landmarks such as the Paul Revere House and Old North Church.

In the years leading up to the Great War, the residential neighborhood was controlled by Italian crime families and crime lord Sal Barsconi. Eddie Winter's gang in South Boston attempted to improve relations by sending Johnny Montrano as a lookout on a job. Following Montrano's failure to alert the crew of a police presence, Winter ordered his assassination.

After the war, a serial killer known as Pickman operates in the Pickman Gallery, slaughtering raiders and creating paintings with their blood. An organization known as the Railroad also set up in the catacombs under the Old North Church following a raid on their previous base of operations. Their objective was to free sentient synths from the control of their creators, the Institute.
