[edit] History
The Vice Kings trace their roots back to the late 60's, early 70's (due to a photo held by Benjamin King Neighborhood Senior/founder of Vice King's), back in Sunnyvale Gardens to counterbalance the power of Los Carnales. They were the only ones to successfully fight back and triumph against them, who were at the time an unstoppable force controlling the entire city. Los Carnales back in those days, further back before 3rd Streets founding era, dominated every neighborhood in the Southern Island. They were muscling their way into unclaimed areas on the West Side at the time, but Sunnyvale had neighborhood street toughs.
As Los Carnales began to start shooting residents that resided in "The Gardens", the neighborhood began to scramble together in order to resist this approaching force. Taking lead would be the man most respected in the streets of "The Gardens" Benjamin King, who consolidated the neighborhood into a formidable force on to the West Side. Through fierce gun play Vice Kings began to send a clear message out to the Carnales,that they were now an active and aggressive neighborhood. Shooting after shooting followed by retaliation shootings engulfed the projects district in everday war. Back and forth gang shootings led to casualties of both sides, and over the years as other neighborhoods were established the Vice Kings included them in the wars. Leading to more killings and tension amongst the various neighborhoods. Their power comes from minor arms dealing, gambling and prostitution. Yet the crown jewel of the Vice Kings is the famous Kingdom Come Records company founded by Benjamin King.
Future hopeful member/rapper of the gang, Warren Williams was always in a locked duel against King because of his feeling of needing to prove he's gangster. Williams argued that violence and brute force was the only way to show the rising Saints gang true power, while King remained more calm and collected about the matter. With the help of Tanya Winters, Warren staged a coup against Benjamin King. After having the Senior of the gang run away for his life, the Vice Kings fell under the control of Williams. This however, was short lived, since Tanya betrayed Warren by killing him and taking all the power for herself. Winters had little to none experience running a gang, let alone one of the most powerful ones in the city. During her short reign, it's mentioned a few times that the gang had major conflicts within its ranks. This lead to more than half the members to quit, while a small portion remained loyal to Winters. After Benjamin King allied himself with the 3rd Street Saints and killed Tanya himself, the Vice Kings gang disbanded.
In present-day Stilwater, the Vice Kings serve as little more than the private security force that serves to safeguard King's personal dynasty. The gang is loosely based on the Chicago-based Vice Lords gang.
