| The Irish [[wound_ravens|Wound Ravens Gang]] has a three-man leadership. The overall boss is the called The Father, his principal deputy is called the Son, and the enforcer of Discipline in the gang and their turf is called the Holy Ghost. The crews all have numbers, often with a nickname attached, instead of names. When the Father needs to be replaced due to death, retirement or long imprisonment, the Son, the Holy Ghost and any Crew Chief may run for the job. Each candidate is assigned a color and the entire gang meets and elects the new Father by dropping a bullet painted the appropriate color into an empty whisky barrel. The votes are counted in front of everyone and the new Father chosen. While the overwhelming majority of the gang is Irish, it is not a requirement to join, you must be Catholic, of course, not be from England, and must be voted in by the crew you wish to join. | The Irish [[wound_ravens|Wound Ravens Gang]] has a three-man leadership.
