+===== Political Focus =====
-Thabo is considered the primary stakeholder for the Dark Side and Firetown.

-The nickname "Tony" holds more significance for Thabo Forster than merely being an alias or an informal moniker. It serves as a tribute to a fallen comrade and friend, Tony Giannini.

+  * **"Godfather of Firetown":** His rumored associations with the Jane Mendoza gang and tolerance of black-market operations have led to his being called the "Godfather of Firetown"—a title both feared and respected by locals.
