'''General Info'''

The Court is one of the longest surviving gangs in the Denver area. While the full extent of their operations is currently unknown, it is speculated that the number of unpowered gang members is somewhere in the low hundreds. However, of those, only around a dozen armed gang members have ever been spotted at one time.

The Court keeps its assets well hidden, and as of this time, there are no known locations that act as a headquarters or similar for the gang. However, public speculation as well as photographic evidence points to the local high-end Italian restaurant, La Corte Regale, being a Court-owned or supported business. A public statement from Sovereign denied this claim, instead stating that the restaurant is a neutral location for capes to meet, and that the Court will enforce this neutrality with their full strength.

'''Known Members'''

As of this time, there is only one confirmed parahuman member of the Court. This is, as most citizen of Denver know, Sovereign, a shaker with control over the effects and strength of gravity within his shaker range.

'''Known Operations'''

Over the years, a handful of Court operations have been uncovered through joint police-PRT action. The most well-known being the discovery that a handful of city officials were on the Court's payroll, using their access to cover up the Court's less subtle activities. Since then, most of the Court's known criminal activities revolve around their extensive smuggling network. Attempts by the PRT and Protectorate to shut these networks down have nearly always resulted in Sovereign himself taking the field.

==RP Information==

The Following information is for any heroes, villains, or others to use as event hooks, actual services, or for lore building purposes:

The Court has a number of low to medium level operations running at any given time. These operations are focused around the Downtown area of Denver, but reach out to the surrounding area as necessary. Each type of operation is carried out by unpowered gang members and managed by either parahuman or unpowered lieutenant. The operation types, starting with the most important, are as follows:

1) Money Laundering - This takes place in a number of small, legitimate businesses that Court affiliated gang members either own or are employed within. The money laundering operations are functioning nearly constantly and are spread out throughout the entire city.

2) Smuggling - The Court uses a handful of different methods to smuggle any number or type of good/material/object/etc into the city. These happen less often, but when targeted by heroes or villains, warrant a response in strength from the Court's combat-capable gang members and parahumans. Most smuggling is somewhat smaller in scale, but occasionally much larger or more important smuggling operations will begin (generally based on approval of equipment posts).

3) Blackmail and Bribery - The Court is always looking for any way gain greater influence throughout the city, and as such, often tries to engage in blackmail and bribery of those in important positions (government, PRT, police, news, transportation, etc). They may also use bribery to make the police look the other way during important operations, and extend this service to villains willing to pay for access to such a thing.

4) "Asset Protection" - The Court extorts money from a number of smaller businesses in the area around the downtown region in return for protecting them from other gangs and villains. Each week, a handful of collectors make their rounds, collecting protection money from each of these businesses.

5) Asset Protection - The Court also provides ''actual'' protection of assets for a cost. This includes providing temporary guard services at specific locations for high value clients as well as protecting high value equipment or goods that a client may otherwise be unable to protect by themselves.

6) Counterfeiting and Forgeries - The Court uses well trained unpowered minions to provide quality forged documents as well as counterfeit goods for those willing to pay for the service.

==Power Description==
Bandersnatch possesses some manner of control over dogs, and transforms into a werewolf-like creature under yet-unknown processes.

==Information==
Bandersnatch is a low-threat villain, with her greatest dangers being to public and private property and a spike of missing dogs wherever she goes. She's often spotted on the outskirts of town or in lesser-populated districts. Still, as a villain, she is to be avoided, even if she lacks a track record of civilian harm.

==PRT Information==
{{PRT info}}

{{PIR
|classification = Master (Changer)

|power = Bandersnatch controls canines in a radius understood to be roughly below half a mile in all directions. She has been observed having rough control over canines, yet lacks finer or proper control. When enough canines are present with her, she begins to change her body to take on wolf-like qualities; sharpened claws, increased jumping, faster running speed, and enhance strength. Both inside and outside her change state, Bandersnatch has been observed to possess minor canine qualities, namely heightened sense of smell and hearing.

|containment = Bandersnatch's changer form is slow to take into full effect. If possible, incapacitate mastered dogs with nonfatal area of effect methods, such as smoke bombs, teargas, and flashbangs. Bandersnatch outside of her changer state can be dealt with via normal means. Bandersnatch inside her changer state should be dealt with exclusively via ranged methods. Her enhanced senses can be easily taken advantage of in either case, using any mix of loud noises and strong smells to incapacitate her.

A longtime player in the Denver area, Sovereign is one of the more well-known villains in the city. His power seems to be wide-range gravity manipulation, as he has been seen causing objects in the area to float or fall in directions other than down. He's most often been seen responding to PRT raids on The Court's smuggling operations.

Though it hasn't been confirmed, its widely believed that La Corte Regale, a high-end Italian restaurant in downtown Denver, is the property of Sovereign, as he has been seen entering the building through a back entrance on numerous occasions. Not to mention the name.

|classification = Shaker

|power = Subject can create an expanding zone, inside of which he may manipulate the direction and force of gravity in a number of ways. There are currently six effects that Subject is known to be able to create. These include: reducing gravity until at zero gravity, increasing the strength of gravity, shifting the direction of gravity to his left, shifting the direction of gravity to his right, shifting the direction of gravity to the direction he is facing, and shifting the direction of gravity to the opposite of the direction he is facing.<br /><br />Subject is selectively affected by this change in gravity, allowing him to move unhindered by it's effects. The area that his power affects increases over time to a radius of approximately 50 feet. The shaker effect has been observed to fail if Subject is removed from it's radius. The Subject is not known to have a limit to the degree of increase in the strength of gravity in any direction, though estimates place a soft limit at 4-5x normal gravity.

|containment = Per classification SOP.

|remarks = Subject is known to be the leader of the Denver-based gang known as "The Court".
