Modest Mary
Modest Mary is the matriarch of the 33rd Street Boys and high priestess of the Final Knights in the Brokelands, and she embodies the worst of both titles with a thoroughness that borders on artistry. A Retrograde who rules the Hell's Gate territory from its central fortified structure, she directs one of the most feared gangs in Old York while indulging every violent impulse the Final Knights' doctrine permits, which is to say, all of them.
She is attended by three loyal zealots promoted from within the Pale Horse Riders motorcycle sub-group. When she is not directing gang operations or overseeing Final Knights rituals, she occupies herself with the torture of prisoners through methods that include flaying and sensory overload. These are not interrogations. They are indulgences, and the distinction matters to anyone trying to understand how Hell's Gate operates. The cruelty is not a tool wielded toward some strategic end. It is the end itself, dressed in religious conviction.
Her reputation extends across Old York as both a brutal strategist and a deadly zealot. The 33rd Street Boys are expanding Final Knights doctrine through the Brokelands, and Mary's methods ensure that every neighborhood within earshot of Hell's Gate knows precisely what awaits those who resist. The fortress earned its name from the woman who rules it, and the intelligent undead that stalk the surrounding blocks seem almost restrained by comparison.

Personal history
How Modest Mary rose to command the 33rd Street Boys is not recorded in any surviving account, but the result speaks for itself. She holds dual authority as the gang's matriarch and the Final Knights' high priestess in the Brokelands, and the two roles reinforce each other in ways that make Hell's Gate one of the most dangerous territories in Old York.
Under her leadership, the 33rd Street Boys have fortified their three-story stronghold at Hell's Gate and established a zone of control that even the intelligent undead stalking the surrounding blocks seem reluctant to contest. Her three zealot attendants, each promoted from the Pale Horse Riders, serve as both bodyguards and executors of her will. The rituals she oversees carry the full weight of Final Knights doctrine, and her personal participation in the torture of prisoners ensures that the gang's reputation for extreme violence is never merely theoretical.
