He was 'overseen' by the Thug Bill Sikes who no doubt was part of the outer circle of 'Gangsters'These Gangsters in turn have a link with the real 'Guild' made up of the gentleman gansters and the crime bosses.Any new players will not get anywhere near the real guild for sometime. A small time crook (like the PCs) might get the attention of the Gangs and be approached as 'Prospects' A Prospect is dirt - they might be asked to sell minor drugs, to do burgalries (and past the money/goods on to the gang) and if they are really lucky to deliver a package (of illegal drugs for instance) to a buyer.After a while the Prospect might gain recognition as a gang member and might then rise in status so that they have contact with the GuildOnly if the PCs pull off something exceptional (like stealling the Queens Red Shoes) or if they have contacts (eg Uncle Khazik Axegrinder is an Enforcer in the Dwarfen Mafiya which is incharge of the Guilds exhortion rackets in the Dwarf ghettos) will they bypass the gangs and go straight to the guild level</blockquote>
