Southford was located in the southern part of Bloomsdale City. It was one of the most dangerous places in the country. It was the Mafia's territory.
There were four organized crime groups living in Southford. The Costales Clan, the Gotti's, the Escobar Brothers and the De Silva Clan. Among the four, the De Silva Clan was the most powerful of them.
Although each clan had their own boss, they still follow the head of the De Silva Clan. They joined them two years ago and vowed their loyalty to Luciano De Silva.
The head of the clan was a fifty-year-old man. He was married to Cristina Gotti, the only daughter of Anton Gotti. He had two sons from his wife, but three years ago, his eldest son who was supposed to be his successor, was killed. His youngest son was only seven years old so he had no choice but to name another successor.
