The Dallas Spivey Gang, also known as The Bagmen, were a gang that consisted of the lowest of the low that the South of Tahoma had to offer and into the early 1900s, they were one of the last remaining gangs of the Wild West before they were wiped off the face of the earth, notoriously known for their brazen crimes, and their trademark bag masks the Lawmen often had a hard time tracking down this specific gang, their members an identifying them, much like how the lynch mob took the Law into their own hands with similar masks, the tables were turned in this instance making it tricky for Lawmen across the state to keep up.

The Dallas Spivey gang were a ruthless bunch which were not shy of leaving a bloody trail behind them, renowned for their strategic and planned robberies, bushwhack killings and extortionist tactics. It's said the gang was formed after the downfall of a previous gang; The Dead Horses which were another ruthless gang to reign terror on the citizens of South Tahoma, ran by Deirdre Browner and Mallory Gimble, their time ran out after a bank job in Saint Denis in 1899 after Lawmen and Bounty Hunters caught up with them.

Prior to the gang being formed, Dallas led an outlandish life, originally working under the guise of a Ranchhand at the Sunset Dale Ranch which is still a promising piece of land till this day, belonging to the Merriman family. He manipulated people into thinking he was nothing more than that, coming from a troubled past and living a double life he’d con, take advantage, rob and kill as he pleased under the cover of darkness. This kept him off the Law’s radar but before they even caught wind Dallas was on the move, bouncing from town to town until he took up with the Dead Horses gang and many of his friends along the way, some even saying he rode with the famous Outlaw Bill Wade at one point though not confirmed. It’s believed he partook in a train job out in Annesburg.

After a string of bank and stagecoach robberies, Dallas went into hiding, living the high life under an alias. He found refuge with Emily Fox, a notorious lady bandit known for charming wealthy men, then conning and robbing them of their hard-earned money. For a while, he managed to stay under the radar, but soon his name was making headlines again. Wanted posters with his face began appearing across the state, and the bounty on his head kept rising. Realizing he couldn’t survive alone, he formed a posse of like-minded individuals, including former members of the once-mighty Dead Horses gang, and rumors spread that outlaws from other infamous gangs had joined his ranks as well.

The citizens of South Tahoma were petrified to say the least, often hiring protection just to travel across the state not knowing if these hooded figures would jump out on them and with new gang members being recruited, it often came with new ways of making money, whether it be cattle rustling, thieving horses or stealing stages and wagons, this particular gang was not shy to it. Anything for the sake of making money, they’d often raid other gangs camps and stashes just to get their point across even killing them in the process.

OOC: Recruitment for the most part will be done in-character but if you are in-fact interested feel free to reach out and we may make an exception. We're portraying a dying Outlaw gang, moving into the 1900s the West was being tamed. There were no room for Outlaws anymore, the Governor saw to it that they be dealt with swiftly, even bringing in army to deal with them, not that the Law and the Bounty Hunters weren't doing their part either, technology was advancing,  and It proved  extremely difficult for these particular Outlaw gangs to stay out of the Law's grasp.
