Alias: Big Rig.

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: Witnesses to Big Rig have described him as a very large man with broad shoulders and a stocky figure with brown hair. He has been described as wearing a welding mask with a red and black skull pattern painted on it, also reported as wearing a brown welding jacket, red carbon fibre gloves, kevlar jeans and brown leather boots.

Modus Operandi: In all reports, Big Rig's acts have been almost entirely road based. All of these reports have claimed he drives an incredibly large vehicle adapted from a standard truck. It has been reported to be lined with armour plating across the cabin and the exterior, is capable of driving through walls and buildings with little damage done and withstanding a lot of ballistic firepower and damage. The truck has also been reported to have additional features such as mounted machine guns, spiked wheel caps, a bulldozer blade over the grille, a roof mounted mortar cannon and a device for dropping grenades and stinger traps behind it. Big Rig has been shown to have exceptional driving skills, evading police pursuit and smashing blockades, or escaping in even the unlikeliest roads. His acts mostly involve large scale attacks and bombings, often levelling buildings with an explosive payload, taking out large scale crimes of varying degrees, mostly focusing upon drug dealers and large gangs. He has also been shown running criminals off the road in their vehicles or running them over during street assaults, though these are rarer. He has been shown to be merciless to those he deals with and never leaves a victim alive.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: Commonly, Big Rig has been seen wielding a tactical 12 gauge shotgun as his primary weapon, sometimes referring to it as "Betty Boomstick" to passerbys. He has also been seen wielding a machete on occasion. He is also well known for the usage of his large truck.

Territory: Reports state that Big Rig has never truly claimed much of a territory for himself. Oftentimes his strikes were across all of Chicago at various criminal locations and on the road. However, he has been most frequently been spotted in the South Deering area, perhaps having chosen it for its large size and the speed of his vehicle.

Notes: In conversations with those he rescued, Big Rig has said little, usually just saying "Have a nice night now!" or "Glad I got here in time, huh?" and has been shown to act very flippant toward his actions. His collateral damage costs are through the roof and attempts to sue him have been made.

Alias: Arc

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: Witnesses report that the perpetrator is tall with a slim frame and a noticeably male figure. They also claim that he wears a red hooded sweatshirt with some kind of lightning bolt emblem sprayed onto its chest. They also report knee-pads over jeans, thick work-boots, and a shoulder-slung backpack. Witnesses are unable to confirm details about his face, due to a combination of a hood, tinted work-goggles, and a black bandana concealing his lower face.

Modus Operandi: Witnesses accounts confirm that the vigilante in question uses a baseball bat for close-range engagements and a taser for victims at medium range. Victims at his crime scenes are found both injured and in critical condition or dead, with no pattern between the two. Injuries sustained are of repeated blunt force trauma and electrocution. Survivors report that the bat 'Arc' uses is wrapped in some kind of wire that sends an electric charge when it comes into contact with bare skin. Evidence of electrical burns on both kinds of victims and empty batteries found at crime scenes seem to confirm this report.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: 'Arc' has been seen wielding a modified wooden baseball bat, wrapped in wire and bearing several pieces of metal nailed into it, all hooked up to open electronics close to the base. Also seen - Ranged Tasers and on occasion proper firearms, though evidence at crime scenes suggests that the latter are taken from previous victims and not brought with intention.

Territory: Has been seen operating in several lower-income locations within Chicago. Often seen inside housing projects, subway stations, and alleyways in various spots within the city. Also seen nearby Kindred Hospital in central Chicago, stalking the streets.

Alias: Steelheart

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Descriptions: Few eyewitnesses have seen Steelheart in action, although there are multiple high quality photos of him throughout several social media websites. The pictures show that he is of a masculine build, and he is seen wearing black nylon sweatpants, a small black backpack, neon green running shoes, thin black gloves, and a neon green, long sleeved t-shirt with his alias spray painted onto the front in black. His head and eyes are covered with a black beanie and a pair of black shades, although his mouth and nose are uncovered.

Modus Operandi: Steelheart has shown a strong knowledge of his territory, supposedly sneaking up onto even veteran criminals. Most of his victims are rendered unconscious before being tied up in black nylon rope. In few cases, suspected murderers or serial killers are simply left dead, hung from buildings or windows by the same black nylon rope. Shortly after an attack, a picture will be posted on the victim's social media accounts or a number of bot accounts presumably made by Steelheart. The pictures often show Steelheart taking a picture with the front facing camera of a phone with himself and the unconscious or dead victim. These pictures are somehow forced onto the feed of all users of the site, and the photos are unable to be removed. Often, the pictures are captioned with the location of the attack and the Social Security number of the victim, as well as Steelheart's signature: "You know who it is ;)." Upon arriving at the scene, police have found the victim tied in rope, but Steelheart is nowhere to be seen, and no DNA is found in the crime scene. In addition, Steelheart is shown to attack all types of criminals, from repeat shoplifters to suspected murderers. However, due to the nature of his territory, the majority of his victims are suspected of performing various hate crimes.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: According to victims, Steelheart has been seen carrying a variety of weapons, mostly kept in the pockets of his sweatpants. He has been reported to carry a coil of black nylon rope, a small can of pepper spray, an black expandable baton, and multiple pieces of advanced equipment, supposedly used to hack into the victim's social media accounts and bank accounts to uncover their Social Security numbers.

Territory: Steelheart has been seen operating throughout the Lake View community in the North Side of the city. However, most activity from him seems to remain frequently in Boystown and East Lake View, noted for their high population of LGBT and Jewish communities.

Notes: Alongside hacking the online accounts of his victims, Steelheart has also been known to hack various electronic billboards throughout the city. The hacked billboards have yet to be repaired, and rather than show the ads of those companies who purchased them, they show a multitude of popular Internet memes, leading for some to refer to the vigilante as "Memeheart."

Alias: Flare

Eyewitness Description: The word scrawny has been uttered more than once in descriptions of Flare, alongside quick, flexible, silent, and much shorter than you'd expect. Flare is completely covered in black clothes from head to toe, and wears a tinted airsoft helmet to cover their face and a tactical vest to carry their gear.

Modus Operandi: Flare is a relatively newer vigilante, appearing only within the last few months. Flare tends to target lone, typically non-violent criminals—purse snatchers, carjackers, burglars, stalkers, and dealers. CCTV footage shows that Flare tends to apprehend their victims by using parkour to ambush them from above or to lie in wait and strike quickly from the shadows. Although tiny, the element of surprise alongside an arsenal of less-than-lethal devices allows them to bring down larger targets. At first, most of the criminals suffered little more than bruises on their wrists and irritated eyes from pepper spray, and a few surveillance cameras reveal some criminals escaping from Flare’s binds after they have left the scene.

It is worth mentioning that in the last month both Flare’s activity and brutality has increased significantly—as well as their efficiency. Notably, they have taken to hamstringing criminals they apprehend, yet they do take the time to tie a makeshift tourniquet to prevent bleeding out before medics arrive. To date, no criminal confirmed to be “brought to justice” by Flare has died, although there are a few more recent ones that are in critical condition. Flare’s name comes from their tendency to announce their act of vigilantism by firing a flare gun into the air, signalling to neighborhood watches and police that they have caught a criminal. Likewise, they tend to leave a note for the police detailing their victim’s transgression, and will often upload their image and information about the crime to social media in case an arrest is not made.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: To date, Flare has used the following to disable criminals: a Mace pepper spray gun, a Taser, a Maglite flashlight, and a switchblade. They use wrist ties, alongside their aforementioned act of hamstringing, to keep victims from moving. They use a digital camera to take photos of criminals, and a flare gun to notify the authorities. It is assumed that they have a handheld police scanner, and possibly use a bike to get around the city quickly.

Territory: Flare is usually seen in Armour Square, largely centered around Chinatown. However, lately they have seemed to begun to move south along the Red Line into more dangerous territories, namely Englewood.

Alias: Several local papers have ran stories on more than one occasion about a local vigilante whom is rather well known for their baseball motif. Somewhere along the lines one journalist dubbed this baseball bat swinging figure of justice “Slugger” and to this day the moniker of Slugger is often used by papers whenever the individual it refers to makes an appearance.

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: Unlike most Vigilantes on file with the CPD there are actually a small number of half decent photographs of Slugger-nothing good enough to make out any real distinguishing features but the quality is enough to clearly make out a figure in white with red pinstripes. The sleek black batters helmet Slugger has always been spotted in combined with the apparently “old school” looking baseball uniform are the very reasons the journalists finally dubbed them as “Slugger.”

Modus Operandi: The slugger is known to leave both broken bones and dead bodies in their wake, although at this time authorities are unsure if this is intentional or just the side effects of a sloppy amateur. Detectives have also made note that when it comes to crime scenes where the “Slugger” is concerned all traces of both drugs and money appear to be completely missing. Above all else though they are most known for often literally beating criminals to the point of near death with varying types of baseball bats. Oddly it is also worth noting that it is not uncommon to find baseballs and chalk dust around the “crime scenes” that Slugger has been linked to.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: For the most part Slugger seams to favor the use of baseball bats-eye witnesses reporting that this mad man literally carries both a long wooden louisville slugger along with a metallic little league baseball bat slung to his back. Rumours even have it that on separate occasions he has attacked individuals with foot long novelty styled wooden bats, the same type often sold at most major league stadiums. Apprehended suspects have also claimed to have “had chalk thrown in their eyes” on more than one occasion along with allegations of the illegal use of brass knuckles.

Territory: Slugger seems to stick to no particular geographic location but instead targets specific groups and individuals throughout the whole Chicago area.

Alias: Red Hand, this is the alias that the media and the press came up with in their news and cover stories about the mysterious gun-toting vigilante. This is because of the red hand surrounded by a circle that is spray painted with a stencil and red paint on the back of his trenchcoat.

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: Few eyewitnesses saw Red Hand in action. A woman that he saved from a rape described him as wearing blue jeans, a black t-shirt and sneakers on his feet. She also said that he was wearing a black tactical vest with multiple pockets over the t-shirt, dark earth knee pads over his jeans, black leather gloves, and a brown trenchcoat with a red hand surrounded by a circle spray painted with red paint and a stencil on the back(from where he got the name Red Hand). When asked about his face the woman said she only saw his eyes, because the rest of it was covered by a ski mask with 3 white stripes. Surveillance cameras eventually confirmed her description. Not long after that an artwork matching the woman's description, made by her son, appeared on the internet. In the comments the son thanked Red Hand for saving his mother's life and said that he made an artwork matching his mother's description in his honor.


Modus Operandi: Red Hand dosen't target a specific kind of criminal, although he prefers not to waste his time with petty thieves. Other vigilante's will deal with them anyway. Besides that, anyone else is fair game to him. His most common targets are murderers, rapists, home invaders and drug dealers, sometimes even mobsters. He has a motorcycle which he uses for his night raids and he deals with criminals by shooting them down, sometimes killing them with a knife, although the knife is really a last resort, more of a back-up weapon just in case. For rapists he has a special treatment. He dosen't kill them but instead he chops off their genitals, shoves them down their throats and leaves them like that. By the time the police and the ambulance get at the scene they usually die because of the intense blood loss. Firearms are Red Hand's primary tools for his vigilante work. On rare occasions he was seen using a knife and/or mixed martial arts against some of them.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: Traffic cams caught Red Hand using a black Honda CB-1000R motorcycle. He uses it because unlike cars, bikes are much more manuvreable and allow him to get away from busy traffic or police chases a lot more easily. He also has a flashlight in case he delves in dark places with no lights. The flashlight usually stays in a pocket of his tactical vest. The knife he carries is a Cold Steel OSS Double Edge knife. The sheath for the knife also has a strap that Red Hand uses to attach it to his left thigh, that way he can get it out much easier in case he needs it. When it comes to firearms, Red Hand usually carries a handgun accompanied by something with much serious firepower, just in case. For the handgun he chooses between a Kimber 1911, a Beretta M9, a CZ-75B or a Ruger GP-100 revolver. He usually he ends up picking one of the first two. He has a thigh holster for each of them. When it comes to more serious firepower, a customised Colt AR-15, an MP5 submachine gun and a customised Mossberg 500 shotgun are his options. Usually when he goes out he picks one of them that usually rests on his back thanks to a sling that they're all equipped with. He rarely had to use anything but a handgun though, but Red Hand prefers the "better safe then sorry" motto. Although his weapons are generally civilian legal, the MP5 is not, which is another reason why the police are hot on his trail, besides the blood soaked murders.

Territory: Red Hand is commonly seen in the West Side and in the Center too. However when he is targeting a specific person he goes anywhere he has to go.

CPD Dossier

Alias: Sting

Known Photographs/ Eyewitness Description: According to the few photographs, Sting has blonde hair. All other details are obscured by a stone mask, with human features carved into it. He sports a wardrobe of black and grey, with the only color being the flashes of blue from his tasers, which are linked to his think electricians gloves and grey backpack, which emits a humming noise. Sporting a tattered trench coat, a solid grey shirt, combat boots, and heavy jeans, he tends to blend in with the darkness.

Modus Operandi: According to records and eyewitness testimonies, Sting mostly tackles drug deals and other gang related activities. He usually disarms larger targets, and those using firearms, with his amplified tasers, after which tossing his pack and engaging in combat with his targets. He tends to keep a distant range, using darts with a unique tranquilizer that leave the victim incapacitated and in slight pain. When faced directly, he uses a set of two small knives. Victims recount the man as counting each time he, or someone he was attacking, breathed.

Known Weapons/ Equipment: Sting carries with him a unique set of equipment. He has a grey pack that carries a small, gasoline powered generator. According to camera footage, It is usually drained during the end of the fight, as it powers his amplified tasers, giving them more shock power than your average police equipment. These do not last long, as shown in most records of his assaults. These tasers are recorded as giving Sting about 2-3 uses due to the fuel it requires to maintain them. He also carries small, stinger like darts that are filled with a mixture of mainly morphine, with small doses of cyanide (These results courtesy of forensics). To go along with this "theme", he has knives shaped suspiciously like...stingers, according to eyewitness reports. Lastly, he has kevlar lining in his coat, leaving him less open to attack. This can be assumed due to at least 2 accounts of slashes from knives being ineffective against him.

Territory: Sting mainly focuses on the area that could be called a barrier between gentrification. His main targets being drug deals and gang activity, Sting lurks around warehouses, alleyways, parking lots, all areas generally associated with crime during the night. He tends to stay out of earshot, so that his victims don't hear his iconic buzz until it's too late.
