Aaron steps out onto the street, close friends, bodyguards, and his new Right Hand, Fedelta at his side.  Looking around, he pulls his flask out of his coat, and takes a swig, then passes it over to Fedelta.  Smiling he looks out at the crowd.

“Well, first off, I’d like to thank Cantona for bringing this opportunity to all of us, and Philli_stein for allowing me to move back to New York, and everyone who supported me along the way.  Now, for a bit of history.  Before the Civil War, there was an Irish street gang named The Forty Thieves that ran The Five Points area of New York.  In the mid 1860’s, they and the “Little Forty Thieves” mostly disbanded and went their own ways.  Growing up, my father was close friends with one of the “Little Thieves,” and he taught me everything there was to know about the streets of New York.”

“Not long ago, the city of New York was utterly destroyed, not leaving behind many survivors.  My father was killed in that mess.  When an old friend of his saw me, homeless and wandering, she pointed me in the direction of a good man, who has now set me up with a great opportunity.  Now I’m back in New York, as part of the rebuilding effort, and I hope to be part of a New York stronger and more unified than anybody has seen before.”

“Now, to the present day.  I have the opportunity to bring The Forty Thieves back to the streets of New York.  In honor of a great mentor and an old friend, god rest his soul, I’d like to introduce everybody to “The Forty Thieves!”

Aaron smiles and steps aside looking at his group of friends, glad to have them at his side.
