TNT (Tony n Tony)
Gang Type: Independent Urban Crime Syndicate
Known Members: Tony Cortez (Founder), Tony Barratt (Co-Founder)
Affiliation: None
Motto: “Touch us, and you explode.”
TNT was formed from fire, betrayal, and pure survival instinct. The syndicate was born when two unlikely men—Tony Cortez and Tony Barratt—were pushed to the edge by the city’s criminal underbelly. These weren’t your average gangsters. They were businessmen first, hustlers by nature, trying to carve out a clean life in a dirty world.
Tony Cortez, an English-Italian entrepreneur, was recently released from a mental health facility after years of forced silence and therapy.
Despite trying to turn over a new leaf, the city didn’t care. He was robbed, stabbed, and nearly killed more than once.
His past never let go—and eventually, the mask went on, and Cortez stopped trying to fit in. His mind snapped back into survival mode, and what came out wasn’t the man who went in.
Tony Barratt, an English-Jamaican fixer and street dealer, had been running small-time operations since his teens.
Smart, focused, and well-connected, Barratt understood the system—both legal and illegal—and tried to play both sides.
But with every legitimate hustle it was met with betrayal and bloodshed.
he realised only one rule mattered: don’t get stepped on.
Together, the two Tonys lit the fuse.
TNT was born.
Who We Are:
TNT is not a gang in the traditional sense—we’re a movement. A warning. We don’t recruit. We don’t beg for turf. We don’t ask for favours. We take what’s ours, and leave nothing but silence behind.
Anyone who crosses TNT doesn’t get a second chance.
We operate as a two-man army, ghosting through the city with precision and purpose.
Cortez, the masked mind, is the fire—explosive, unpredictable, dangerous. Barratt is the ice—calculated, strategic, and always one step ahead. Together, they’re unstoppable.
Why We Are:
TNT was created because this city doesn’t protect the smart or the strong—it chews them up and spits them out. We gave the streets a chance to play fair, and it bit our hands off. Now, we play by our own rules.
We don’t want respect.
We demand fear.
And we’re not here to fit in—we’re here to make sure no one forgets our names.
Enemies made us. Violence shaped us. Loyalty defines us. TNT isn't here to survive. We're here to detonate.
