The DeLancey Group
The DeLancey Group, led by the cunning and ruthless Victor DeLancey, is a highly structured and secretive network of operatives and assets working together to further DeLancey's interests in politics and business within the city. The organization is involved in various operations, including Operation Nocturne and UMBRA. Through these operations, Victor DeLancey aims to manipulate events within the city for his own benefit.

The organization is structured hierarchically, with Victor DeLancey at the top as the mastermind and leader. Directly beneath him are his lieutenants, who oversee various aspects of the organization's operations and manage the network of spies and informants.
Lieutenants
These lieutenants are responsible for coordinating with their respective operatives and civilian assets, ensuring they carry out their tasks effectively and report back any relevant information.
- Charles "The Handler" Monroe
- Lisa "The Strategist" Reynolds
- William "The Enforcer" Baxter

Operatives
These operatives work on the ground in various capacities, gathering intelligence, planting listening devices, infiltrating high society events, or working within criminal organizations.
Some such operatives are:

Each operative reports to their designated lieutenant, who then filters the information up to DeLancey.
Operations
Operation Nocturne
Operation Nocturne is an ongoing machination orchestrated by Victor DeLancey to further his interests by utilizing John Walsh's relentless repression of "degeneracy." The primary objective is to create chaos within the city by highlighting the dangers posed by so-called "Homo Maleficus," undermining public trust in Mayor Thomas Caldwell's administration and paving the way for DeLancey's own political maneuverings.
Unified Management of Building Renewal and Advancement (UMBRA)
UMBRA is an initiative to consolidate economic and bureaucratic power within the DeLancey Group through the use of Citywide Contractors, Bernie Holtz's maintenance contracting business. The collaboration aims to exploit targets in the contracting industry, establish control over city maintenance contracts, and ultimately consolidate all acquired assets under a single umbrella organization controlled by Victor DeLancey.
Assets and Connections
In addition to his spy network, Victor DeLancey has connections to other powerful figures within the city's political and corporate spheres. These connections allow him to exert influence over city policies and regulations that may further his interests or hinder those of his enemies.
Some of these connections include:
