Lore & Background
The Lagoon Company operates from Roanapur, a lawless haven dominated by organized crime syndicates including the Hong Kong triad, the Russian Bratva, the Colombian cartel, and the Sicilian mafia. Its streets teem with mercenaries, assassins, thieves, and prostitutes, alongside a sizable population of Vietnamese refugees who fled after the communist victory in 1975. The crew frequently collaborates with Hotel Moscow, the local Russian crime syndicate, undertaking high-risk missions that often escalate into violent confrontations—ranging from gunfights to naval engagements—across various Southeast Asian regions, including as far as Isabela in the Philippines.
During their downtime, the crew frequents The Rip Tide, a Roanapur bar notorious for being caught in the crossfire of frequent shootouts. Rock eventually adapts to his new role as the group's negotiator and public representative, leveraging his corporate background to facilitate dealings with clients.
