Date: [REDACTED]

Subject: The Glows, Kane Plaza

—

Classification: Ascendant criminal faction prominently active within Kane Plaza. Recognized by their unique glowing tattoos and their usage of the illicit drug “Glow” to temporarily augment their physical and metahuman capabilities.

Kane Plaza

Estimated 600 members.

• Human (Pre-Glow Consumption): 100%

• Initially appearing as minor disturbances, The Glows have now grown to contest the long-standing dominance of the Giodarno Crime Family within Kane Plaza.

• Infamous for their unpredictability and volatile behavior, especially under the influence of the Glow drug.
• Led by the notorious Big Smile, whose strategies, although seemingly chaotic, have facilitated significant territorial gains against the Giodarnos.

• Besides territorial aspirations, the gang deals in narcotics, particularly the distribution of the Glow drug.
• Despite their involvement in the drug's distribution, the source of Glow remains elusive to the DMC.

• The underlying power struggle in Kane Plaza between the Glows and the Giodarnos remains a major concern, with civilian safety caught in the crossfire.
• While the Giodarnos rely on their established network and arsenal, The Glows' unpredictable behavior, backed by Glow-induced enhancements, complicates DMC's efforts to stabilize the region.

• The usage of the Glow drug by gang members is a grave concern. Not only does it enhance their physical prowess but also adds a level of erratic aggression, making confrontations highly volatile.
• Efforts to identify and neutralize the source of the drug are ongoing.
