Underground

The Underground is a large criminal enterprise run by Decker in 2161. They are located under the Maltese Falcon in the Downtown district of the Hub.

History
In the late 2150s, the Underground rose to power in the Hub through bribery, murder, and deception. Their influence quickly grew, resulting in the Hub becoming the corrupt city it was by 2161.

Members
Decker is head of the Underground, and never leaves the hideout (most likely not to risk being captured by the Hub Police). The ability to speak with him is granted only by his door guard Kane, and even so, one will never be able to speak with him without Kane as a guide, and taking one directly back, removing the ability to enter the hideout without initiating combat. Decker is considered the largest threat to the Hub and merchants who lack the will to cooperate.

Next to the bartender is a room guarded by Kane, a minion of the Underground and possibly Decker's right hand. Kane makes sure only people Decker wants to see are let in and handles all of his payments. Kane is recognizable as a very powerful and durable opponent.

Inside the hideout, there are five other guards/members who protect and do business for Decker, but they cannot be spoken to, and have no given names.
