Tithe

"I can't see where you comin' from,

But I know just what you runnin' from:

And what matters ain't the "who's baddest" but,

The ones who stop you fallin' from your ladder, baby.

And you feel like you feelin' now,

And doin' things just to please your crowd,

When I love you like the way I love you.

And I suffer, but I ain't gonna cut you 'cause,

This ain't no place for no hero.

This ain't no place for no better man.

This ain't no place for no hero,

To call "home.""

Simon "Ghost" Riley never imagined that his life would end up the way it had.

Betrayal was a given, truthfully, he'd had his fair share of experiences with it... he just hadn't expected it to be as bad as it was.

Now? He's The Collector. And honestly?

It suits him just fine.



Once a respected SAS Lieutenant, now the man Britain's criminal underworld has learned to fear above almost anyone else.

At forty-four, Ghost has traded combat fatigues for expensive black suits, though the skull mask remains an ever-present reminder of the man he used to be.

As The Collector, Ghost is responsible for the syndicate's more unpleasant necessities: outstanding debts, internal discipline, interrogations, and the occasional elimination of particularly troublesome individuals.

For all his considerable wealth and influence, he remains deeply guarded and emotionally distant.

The world may have changed around Simon Riley, but some things remain remarkably simple. Tithe is owed. And Ghost always collects.

Once, they had been heroes. Decorated soldiers, men of extraordinary skill and unwavering loyalty, entrusted with doing the things their government could never publicly acknowledge. Then came the betrayal. An operation so profoundly reprehensible that even Captain John Price, a man who had spent decades navigating the moral ambiguities of warfare, could no longer stomach the institution he served.

Task Force 141 disappeared from the military establishment, and in its place rose something considerably more dangerous.

The Tithe

What began as four disillusioned soldiers determined never to answer to another corrupt authority became one of the largest and most feared criminal syndicates in the United Kingdom.



From the affluent streets of London to the industrial heart of Glasgow, The Tithe's influence extends into almost every corner of Britain's criminal underworld. Narcotics, smuggling, extortion, prostitution, money laundering, and information brokerage are merely different branches of the same extraordinarily lucrative empire.

At its head sits John Price, The King, alongside his three most trusted associates:

Johnny MacTavish—The Artist

Kyle Garrick—The Author

Simon Riley—The Collector



Together, they command an extensive network of legitimate businesses, corrupt officials, criminal intermediaries, and fiercely loyal subordinates. Their wealth is staggering, their influence considerable, and their tolerance for betrayal nonexistent.

In a world where everything has a price, The Tithe has made an empire out of ensuring that everyone eventually pays.

The Tithe is one of the largest, wealthiest, most notorious, and most feared criminal syndicates in the United Kingdom, operating an extensive network of illicit enterprises spanning narcotics trafficking, smuggling, extortion, money laundering, prostitution, and information brokerage.

Founded by the four former members of the elite Task Force 141 following a devastating betrayal by the British military establishment, the organization is governed by John Price, known as The King, alongside his three most trusted associates: Simon "Ghost" Riley, The Collector; Johnny "Soap" MacTavish, The Artist; and Kyle "Gaz" Garrick, The Author.

Utilizing decades of military experience, extensive intelligence networks, and carefully cultivated political connections, the four men have established a criminal empire stretching from London's affluent districts to Glasgow's industrial underworld.

Beneath its sophisticated veneer of legitimate businesses, luxurious estates, and respectable commercial interests lies an extraordinarily efficient organization maintained through calculated violence and uncompromising loyalty.

The Tithe does not operate on chaos or senseless brutality; its power rests upon discipline and discretion—and the understanding that everyone, regardless of wealth or influence, owes something.

Tithe must be Paid.

So.

I watched the Gentlemen with my Fiance last night and it finally gave me the push I needed to finish this.

This was strongly inspired by a mix of Peaky Blinders, the Gentlemen, and John Wicke.

I hope you enjoy!
