The Boys

The term 'The Boys' refers to a rumoured group of thugs and gangsters who allegedly act as the armed wing of Creosote's various organizations and businesses, to strong-arm others into compliance. Despite the word 'boys' its believed many such people are often hardened and experienced criminals, aging up as late as their 50s, though younger members are regularly present. They are most commonly transported by a white ford van, as evidenced by 2002 CCTV footage during the infamous attempted raid on the home of George Hudson, the same case showed a use of blunt instruments for weaponry and lack of coordination and competence during their activities.

The Boys are suspected by London Police to be behind a slew of botched robberies and protection rackets in the early 2000s, but information on its members are scant. Deputy Chief of Police in 2003 stated he had, "never seen a gang so well financed yet so incompetent", and it is noted to have dropped from the radar for organized crime activity after a few short years on the scene. However, Creosote continues to jokingly wave the threat of "The Boys" around close friends and colleagues, with some claiming he continues to employ them largely for entertainment purposes
