The Founding Fathers
George Robert Cook
President

b. 03/16/1914 - d. 05/21/1998

Family tree

Despite having been best friends with Walter and Thomas since grade school, George was the one that was completely against the Fallen becoming involved with any sort of illegal activity. That argument started in 1970 and continued back and forth for two years until they inserted themselves in the gun-running business. George already felt as though Detroit was a violent enough city, he wanted no part in adding to it and decided to split from the club. In 1976, four years after leaving the Fallen Angels, he founded the Immortal Watch - or the Immortals as they became better known as. It was a motorcycle club exclusive to veterans and first responders, taking up residence in Southwest Detroit. The Immortals were more for enthusiasts, and a rather peaceful bunch. Out of respect, Walter and Thomas vowed to leave George's club alone, a vow that is still currently upheld. The Immortals don't interfere with the Fallen nor the Knights, and those two don't try to move their "business" into Immortals territory.

George was the more level-headed of the three, calculated, and extremely good with the books.
Walter James Godfrey
Vice President

Family tree

Walter is the one that initially spearheaded the creation of the Fallen Angels in 1951, often finding solace in the open road and freedom that motorcycles provided. He was also the one that began pushing to have the Fallen generate more money by running guns through the city. It hurt Walter to have one of his best friends leave the club over something he considered to be so minor, but it also removed the only roadblock in their way. In 1994, when Thomas suggested they expand even further and venture into drug trafficking, Walter had to say no. Having lost a grandchild to an overdose a few years prior, he couldn't bring himself to potentially supply another parent with that kind of pain. It lead to multiple fights between the two friends, resulting in yet another split. The Fallen Angels remained in Detroit's east side and holding control over the arms race while Thomas moved over to the west side and formed the Rogue Knights, venturing into the drug game.

Walter was the business man, not so good with the numbers but he made up for it with his ability to wheel and deal in conversations.
Thomas William Moore
Sergeant At Arms

Family tree

Thomas was practically Walter's shadow, whatever the older man wanted for the club, he wanted it too. He took Walter's side in the great gun debate, but respected George's wishes to leave the club. The two remained in contact until George's death in 1998. Thomas had always been the greediest among the three, anyway the club could make money, he was all for it. He was also the most power hungry of them all, wanting to control not just the club, but any illegal activity within the city. Following into drug trafficking only seemed natural, but when Walter stood against him on the matter he flew off the handle. Thomas founded the Rogue Knights in 1996 in Detroit's east side and was met with a good deal of resistance by the drug dealers already in that territory. Slowly they were either bought out, put under contract, or they just straight up went "missing". Despite their fighting over business matters while still functioning as one club, the two attempted to maintain some respect for one another. The Fallen stuck to guns and the Knights stuck to drugs, but the ever greedy and power hungry Thomas could only abide by that pact for so long. Within the last ten years, despite having stepped down well beforehand, Thomas urged those in leadership roles within the Knights to dabble with arms trafficking and those currently running the Fallen had become more and more open to getting involved in dealing/supplying drugs. Walter's passing in 2013 opened up those possibilities.

Thomas was always the hothead, quick to suggest they answer with brutality rather than logic. His main priority was always the club's safety, but also their power which undoubtedly went to his head more often than not.
