CONCEPT
Blue Hand Gang Squads are the street-level muscle of Darius “Blue Palm” Cortez’s organization. Unlike extremist groups or paramilitary factions, these are hardened urban operators—dockworkers, mechanics, smugglers, and ex-cons turned professional enforcers.
They are not suicidal.
They are territorial.
They fight hard when defending Blue Hand property.
