Editing Crucible:Judas Trih (section)

== Criminal Empire ==

Over time Trih expanded beyond mercenary work into organized crime, eventually building a powerful narcotics network that operated across parts of Southeast and Central Asia. Protected by private soldiers and corrupt officials, his cartel evolved into something closer to a shadow government than a criminal syndicate.

That army ultimately gave him a nation.
