Shakker's Gang

The Shakker's Gang was considered one of the weakest gangs in Fountainhead that could hold territory in Waterdeep. Led by Jox, a spiritualist who was skilled in ice magic, the gang held their territory with less members than any other gang. It was said that Jox used to be a member of the Empty Eyes before he grew tired of them. What was widely known was that he had an Ice Giant at his command who lived in the chasm.

The gang members were either killed or driven off when Rathborn failed a spell and unleashed Jox's control of the ice giant.

• Timeline: 459 - 462 AH
• Leader: Jox of Shakker
• Organization: Might through Magic

Jox was once a member of the Empty Eyes gang that has ruled over the Waterdeep district for several harvest. He was skilled enough to survive at the top ranks of the gang. When his woman was involved in a plot to kill him and allow his friend to take his place at the table Jox killed both of them and left the gang. He was on the run for two harvests before they finally left him alone.

He started recruiting magicians from the Watchers' House who did not want to pay the cost of their memories for safety. From just three other members he was able to summon an Ice Giant from the bodies in the chasm. With the giant they swept away The Blues, the previous weakest gang in Waterdeep District and took their territory. Many magicians scared of the Empty Eyes took refuge in what became Shakker's Gang.

In the Legacy of Marak campaign the gang was destroyed at the end of The Slumber Years when Jox's Ice Giant broke free of his control after Rathbone, a member of the gang, failed his spell. The gang was wiped out an their territory temporarily void of magic from the Shadow Realms.

The gang only had three levels.

The lowest level were those members who could not even manage a simple spell. This group did most of the running and manual labor.

The next level up were magicians that were not skilled enough to enter the top rank. This group was the largest sub-group in the gang.

The top group were accomplished magicians capable of casting a variety of spells. Destructive spells are the most common as they are useful for the gang and taking out any competition within the gang.
