Booty Underground
How do all these criminals tie together?
(and which ones do good? which are only in it for the profit? which are in it for the lulz?)

Obviously the Booty Underground (unofficial name) begins with Booty. Mayor of town and ruler of a massive underground criminal (specializing in smuggling) network. She hires those she trusts when she needs them and even utilizes their skill sets in some more humanitarian missions (like rescuing pups from war-torn areas and from being child soldiers).
And of course her second-in-command is Light ... although at this point he doesn't really do much. If they're having real (as in, her empire is crumbling around her) she will send in Light but for the most part, he's retired from the business and instead hangs out at home and plays video games. This is mostly just because she prefers not to reveal the ace up her sleeve (so to speak) unless she has to.
Coal is one of the few full-time workers that Booty has on retainer. She's usually the one that coordinates with anyone Booty needs her to and acts as a bit of a faux secretary to Booty since it wouldn't do to see the mayor conversing with criminals. This sweet looking girl was a common thief (and is a bit of jack-of-all-trades, having knowledge in most criminal practices although no real mastery of any unless you count pick-pocketing) but became friends with Booty when the two were still making their rises. She's one of the few that know about Light.
Since Light can't be around at all times, Booty hired Bronco to be her full-time bodyguard. A bruiser with an apparently bad attitude, she decided that he was perfect for the job after accidentally catching him feeding birds. He's got a gooey center hidden under a scowl and hard muscle and isn't one that you want to mess with.
The Honor crew is her go to when needing to smuggle children to safety. They widely spread the word about their piracy while keeping quiet the part where they are actually world class smugglers. Although the pirate hunters tend to chase them through the waters, they've never been caught in their smuggling operations and try to keep it that way. When she first started hiring them, Captain was in charge but in recent years it has been Pipit at the helm. Another main player aboard the ship is Nadia (who is actually Booty and Light's adopted daughter and ex-child soldier) who joined not too long after Pipit became captain. She only sails with them when they are on humanitarian missions (having come from a similar situation, she knows how to get in and out and she's sent in to get the pups back to the ship safely).
Less smuggler than pirate, Booty has been known to hire the Honor crew's rivals, the Vengeance crew for her less secretive ventures. Led by Wendigo, they are more ruthless than their Honor counterparts and Booty hires them when she needs something wiped out. A competitor maybe or someone at water who is proving a threat ... or who has something that she wants.
La Mancha, Kisarae, and Golden Don are all temporary employees with their own specialized skill sets.
Lam is a master at learning secrets. If there is something that you want to know, she's sure to either know it already or know how to find out.

There isn't a safe that Kisa can't crack. If you can get her in, she can get you your stuff. She doesn't much care what you're after, she's in it for the thrill.

Don can get you into - or out of - anything you care to put before him. Whether he talks his way out or gets out through other means, there's not a place made that can keep him in.

Irisi scours the world (mostly swamps, given her gator DNA) for both processed and uncut gems which she then delivers to Booty or at least to a middle man hired by Booty (for a sizable fee, of course). She's got a nose for gemstones and is possibly the largest supplier in previous jewels in the world.
Cara runs a perfectly legitimate antique shop ... which just so happens to be a front for a smuggling operation. The daughter of a magician, she specializes in antique magic equipment which just so happens to contain enough hidden nooks and crannies to keep anything tucked away safe. She loves slight-of-hand and was known to dabble in pick-pocketing in her younger years.
Syrus is a sniper and as such he takes care of ... problems from a vast distance. He's a bit of a freelancer so Booty only calls him in occasionally and generally only as a last resort. He keeps pretty busy with his own jobs.
