The Barsavi crime family is the dominant criminal organisation in Camorr, controlling the city's underworld through a network of gangs, rackets, and enforced loyalty. Led by Capa Barsavi - a ruthless but pragmatic crime lord - the family maintains order among Camorr's thieves through the Secret Peace, an arrangement with the nobility that permits crime against commoners but forbids targeting the rich. Every gang in the city pays tribute to the Capa and operates under his rules. Barsavi rules from his floating headquarters and commands enough muscle to crush any gang that steps out of line. The stability of his reign, however, depends on the assumption that no one would be foolish enough to challenge him - an assumption that proves fatally wrong when threats emerge from both inside and outside the criminal hierarchy.
