Part A — Members who support Yug Bhati
(Heavily aligned because their interests and leverage increase when Yug wins — they profit from his systems)
1. Viktor Orlov — "The Arms Saint" — $210B
Reason: Arms flows and PMCs expand when Yug controls logistics and routes. Viktor gains contracts and plausible deniability.
2. Julius Krane — "The Archivist" — $160B
Reason: Krane's cyber-ware needs market chaos to sell intelligence — Yug's market moves create customers for stolen data.
3. Kaito Murakami — "Ghost Zero" — $102B
Reason: Yug funds Kaito's drone and surveillance projects; Kaito's AI needs large-scale testbeds (wars + markets).
4. Fayez Al-Hajiri — "The Silk Vulture" — $103B
Reason: Shipping and phantom freighters = direct profit when Yug's export lanes expand. He gets port fees and control.
5. Levi Cormac — "The Broker" — $110B
Reason: Levi's market manipulations are amplified by Yug's price-control plays — he profits from engineered crashes/booms.
6. Zhi Wei — "The Clockmaker" — $68B
Reason: Access to Western markets and secret supply chains gives Zhi customers for backdoored hardware.
7. Evelyn Price — "Madame Ledger" — $48B
Reason: Yug's growth requires immaculate paper trails; Evelyn scales the syndicate's legal laundromat and gets paid.
8. Ahmed Souri — "The Falcon of Fez" — $59B
Reason: Antiquities & arms move easier when Yug provides diplomatic cover and ports — Ahmed's auctions thrive.

Part B — Members who are against (or deeply suspicious of) Yug Bhati
(Feel threatened by his speed, fear exposure, or have personal grudges — actively plotting to curb or remove him)
1. Rosa Moretti — "The Widow of Venice" — $130B
Why opposed: She plotted against Yug (secret tip, betrayal attempt). Her laundering networks are threatened by Yug's data-first play.
2. Rozario Mendez — "The Butcher" — $120B
Why opposed: Violent, old-school; hates Yug's "paper war" style and sees it as a threat to muscle-based revenue streams.
3. Omar Bin Latif — "The Falcon of Shadows" (Leader) — $110B
Why opposed/ wary: Omar tolerates Yug because it benefits the syndicate, but he fears Yug becoming an independent power center. He's cautious and may authorize containment.
4. Salvatore Greco — "Iron Saint" — $98B
Why opposed: Church/art routes could be exposed by Yug's intelligence plays; Greco fears reputational contagion.
5. Anastasia Volkova — "The Ice Queen" — $88B
Why opposed: Human-trafficking profits depend on secrecy; Yug's market-scale moves risk attracting global attention and crackdowns.
6. Farid Haddad — "The Architect of Ash" — $42B
Why opposed: War/rebuild play is his bread and butter — Yug's buy-and-control strategy compresses his margins on post-conflict contracts.

Part C — Neutrals / Volatile (can be swayed either way; watch them — they flip the game)
Aleksandr Volkov — $170B — pragmatic; supports whoever guarantees military contracts.
Nikolai Petrovic — $82B — broker who sells to both sides; will betray for better cut.
Silje Holt — $71B — shipping lord; neutral unless routes threatened.
David Korff — $64B — corporate thief; follows market advantage.
Tane Arakaki — $53B — offshore finance specialist; profits from chaos and sanctuary.
Yara D'Souza — $61B — assassin-for-hire; sells services to top bidder.

Part D — Rival Syndicates & Hostile Blocs (names, what they are, and story-scale "GDP")
(These are fictional blocs you can use as the syndicate's main external enemies; the "GDP" number here is a story metric estimating their pooled liquid assets, influence, and economic teeth.)
1. The Black Concord — International cartel of post-industrial oligarchs and port-state mafias
Description: NATO-era shipping families + corporate excavators who control ports and bulk commodities. They detest Vulture20's data-based monopoly.
Estimated economic power (story-GDP): $900B
Typical enemies: Yug Bhati (disrupts shipping arbitrage), Fayez Al-Hajiri (direct competitor).
2. Iron Crescent Consortium — A confederation of ex-military contractors, rogue oil houses, and Islamist shadow financiers
Description: Old-guard militant states and private armies that prefer territorial control and raw resource grabs.
Estimated power: $520B
Typical enemies: Viktor Orlov and Yusuf-backed Vulture operations (territorial fights); they especially clash with Yug when his "paper control" undermines their occupation rents.
3. The Red Web — Cyber-mercantile cabal (ex-intelligence hackers + darknet financiers)
Description: Controls black-market data, ransomware networks, and some state-level cyber proxies. They see Vulture20's moves as competition in the intelligence economy.
Estimated power: $360B
Typical enemies: Julius Krane (data turf wars) and Elias Koenig (shadow rival inside Red Web).
4. The Sovereign Bloc — "Volchek Directorate" (fictionalized, state-grade adversary inspired by a coalition of security services)
Description: An alliance of powerful intelligence organs from multiple states (story-use: Russia++ composite). They don't want syndicates to hollow out state revenue.
Estimated state-level GDP/assets under control (story scale): $2.0T (this is a combined institutional leverage/power metric rather than literal national GDP)
Typical actions: economic containment, diplomatic pressure, covert ops; they can expose pipelines but risk self-harm by doing so.
5. The Global Integrity Taskforce (GIT) — An ad-hoc coalition of Western intelligence and multilateral regulators in the story
Description: Coalition of enforcement agencies, private forensics firms, and ethical banks aimed at crippling fincrime.
Estimated economic enforcement power (story metric): $1.1T (assets they can freeze / sanctions leverage)
Typical enemies: Levi Cormac, Yugbhati indirectly — will push legal and financial countermeasures.
