The '''Spikes''' are an all-[[troll]] [[go-gang]] based in [[Seattle]].

'''Membership:''' 50+

==Organization==
The Spikes were founded by the infamous [[elf]] hater [[Lord Torgo]] and recently they've started founding chapters in other cities, in order to overtake the Ancients as [[Seattle]]'s largest go-gang.<ref>{{src|vice}} p.141</ref> 

After Lord Torgo was imprisoned for murder, his continuous leadership was challenged by other gang members, who were more interested in making [[nuyen]] then killing elves. While the gang leader was put in an isolation cell and finally died there, a [[minotaur]] with purple colored fur took over leadership of the gang. This new gang leader calls himself BTO, a short form for "Babe the ox".

==The Gang Life==
The gang's colors are black, dark brown and red.<ref>{{src|vice}} p.141</ref> New recruits don't earn their place in the gang until they kill an elf, any elf.<ref>{{src|eb}} p.23</ref>

To the Spikes combat shotguns are sidearms and squad automatics are rifles. They carry axes, machetes, and chainsaws into battle.<ref>[[Source:Shaken (No Job Too Small)]]</ref>

==Gang Territory==
Their turf is in [[Tacoma]], especially the southern part of [[Interstate 5]] (Tacoma-[[Fort Lewis]] area), where the go-gang targets [[Tir Tairngire]] traffic using "Mongolian" tactics of attacking as a riding horde, full speed ahead, from their motorcycles.

==Police Conflict==
The gang clash with the Metroplex Guards on Intercity 5 at a regular basis. It is known as one of the meanest gangs in Seattle, and also one of the most skillful. Whenever there was a clash between the two, it was always the Metroplex Guards who went home limping.<ref>{{src|ssb}} p.120</ref>

==Gang Wars==
The Spikes often clash with the [[Ancients]].<ref>{{src|vice}} p.141</ref> The gang has had a bloody feud with the Ancients as far back as anyone can remember.<ref>{{src|eb}} p.23</ref> They destroyed another elven gang in Seattle, the [[Silent P's]].<ref>{{src|usb}} p.103</ref>

==Criminal Enterprises==
The gang occasionally hires itself out as muscle, runs protection rackets, and does a bit of low-level drug street sales. They have greater ambitions and are courting bigger criminal organizations to generate more business opportunities.<ref>{{src|vice}} p.141</ref>
