Crowntown Logistics is an umbrella name for the business ventures lead by Santos Zavala, which started as a small transport operation in a golden minivan. It has grown somewhat, company property now consisting of several trucks and now even operates the Idlewood Gas Station. It is based out of a small office on Imperial Street, El Corona. The group's core, currently three people strong, partake in mostly legal activites with the purpose of financial gain, local development and self-expression.
Transportation Branch The main source of income for the company is, unsurprisingly, transportation and logistics. Crowntown's fleet includes everything from small and cheap pickups to big rigs. The company usually operates on a single contract basis, not taking up long-term agreements due to the fluidity of the economy. This branch also officially employs all of the people in Crowntown Logistics.
Vehicle Maintenance Branch The secondary business within the company, born out of Santos' personal skills and the need for maintenance for the trucks. Due to the lack of a company garage, they operate out of contracted and rented locations. This branch prides itself with being the most well kept mechanics across the town. All of the vehicles must be kept clean and undamaged. The quality of work is usually high, but this is reflected by the higher than average prices.
Idlewood Gas Station A business incorporated into the company, Idlewood Gas Station is commonly known as a hub for drug dealing and violent gang disputes. In this mayhem, the company struggles to keep the business afloat and their lives intact.
Matthews brothers
Composing of two Boston born lads, Mark and Brent never shined as the brightest of any bunch. Mark has an unhealthy obsession with cars and speed. Being a lifelong adrenalline junkie, he has had several arrests for merely speeding and running away from the law for the thrill of it. To show for it, he has acquired numerous vehicle based skills, ranging from driving to maintaining any sort of cars. Brent, on the other hand, has the right hook and observational skills of an oversized primate. Young, but veteran to the criminal scene, he is mostly found picking a fight or cursing at anything nearby. Together they form a dangerous, short-tempered and somewhat silly duo that should be a force to be reckoned with, if they weren't arguing amongst themselves constantly.
Matfey Isaev
This hot tempered, ambitious man takes part in just about every moneymaking scheme possible. Legal or illegal, if it makes money, Matfey is in it. His russian blood gives him a knack for drinking and a short temper, however he has not shown to be violent and has absolutely no criminal record. He loves everything involving cars. Fast, pretty, old. Even building them. It's a miracle his street-racing habits have not landed him behind bars yet, his vehicular evasions have been successful this far. He is also the hardest worker of the organization. The group uses him as legal, armed security and the clean man to put in charge of the most important runs, where even a hint of suspicion could cause failure.
Santos Zavala
The overseer and calm mannered financer of the whole group, he is known for wearing sunglasses at night and being extremely tall. Santos has been through enough to know Matthews' behaviour won't do them any good in the long run. His attempts to reign in his subordinates' temper are often futile, but he refuses to quit. Once a member of the Locotes gang, he now actively shuns affiliation to them and has declared gang mentality nonsense. He is often found denouncing violence and fraud, but can be found reacting brutally if attacked, fighting fire with fire.
