Gangs

There are a total of four primary gangs in Cobalt Flats, each of which controls a significant portion of Sharpton, as well as a few foreign gangs that exert some form of influence.

Morazelli Family
The Morazelli Family is an Italian mafia style gang and the largest in Sharpton. They deal primarily in prostitution and drug trafficking, and dabble in weapons smuggling but not to a significant extent. Their gang members drive expensive luxury cars and SUVs.

Their gang color is blue.

Shogun
Shogun is a gang based heavily on feudal Japan. They deal heavily in drugs and do some weapons smuggling, but their controversial human trafficking trade puts them at odds with the other gangs in Sharpton. Their members dress in flashy neon colors and drive street bikes and four-cylinder imported sports cars.

Their gang color is yellow.

Primae
Primae is a high-tech gang that deals almost exclusively in cyber-crimes and the illegal import and sales of electronics. They consider themselves above the "thugs" of Sharpton's other gangs. Their members dress in trench coats and sunglasses reminiscent of the characters in The Matrix and drive large low-key vehicles like sedans.

Their gang color is red.

Iron Riders
The Iron Riders are a biker gang that deal mostly in weapons smuggling as well as auto theft, running chop shops throughout Sharpton. Their members dress in typical "biker" outfits, wearing leather vests and jackets, blue jeans, and biker boots. Their gang members almost always ride choppers, but at higher notoriety they will bring in large pickup trucks.

Their gang color is green.

Foreign Gangs
Some of the gangs in the game are not an intrinsic part of Sharpton, but have other interests that indirectly mesh with the storyline in some way.

Sharks
The Sharks are a gang from Clearwater that are responsible for bringing in weapons shipments for the Iron Riders. Some members of their gang are dealt with during the Blood in the Water mission when the player is attempting to undermine the Iron Riders' influence in Sharpton.

Their gang color is silver.

Third Street Saints
The Saints are a famous gang based primarily out of Stilwater and Steelport that display an interest in the player's actions in Sharpton and offer an opportunity to join their gang, at which point the player can either join their gang or chase them out of Sharpton permanently.

Their gang color is purple.
