The powerful South Gate gang was formed after a strategic amalgamation of all the West Shore gangs, which had long been vying for dominance in the region. The merger was formulated by a select group of leaders led by the infamous Sparrow, who recognized the benefits of consolidating their resources, manpower, and expertise to create a formidable force that could not be easily challenged. The amalgamation created a cohesive bond between the various gangs, who previously had no strong ties or allegiance to each other. With the new partnership, the West Shore gang became a well-organized entity with a clear hierarchy, structure, and mission.
