This article is about the old posergang. For the distinct criminal organization, see Valentinos.The Valentino's were a "gang" operating in Night City.
Overview[]
The Valentino's were a posergang dedicated to seducing the most attractive women in Night City. The more unobtainable a woman appeared to be, the more attractive a target she was, as such, a Valentino pursued his objective until he succeeded or she was scared off. By 2020, the Valentino's met once every three months to compare scorecards. Since they did not maintain any territory and had no goals outside of seducing and sleeping with women, they were generally harmless to anyone except the husbands and boyfriends of these women in the city.[1]
The posergang would not survive the following tumultuous years, disappearing at some point during or shortly after the Fourth Corporate War.[2]
Notes[]
- During the 2070s, there were rumors that the powerful criminal organization known as the Valentinos had somehow evolved from an ancient club of Lotharios who competed against each other in acts of seduction, but no modern gang member ever confirmed that. As far as they were concerned, they had always been what they were, similar to how Heywood had always been the land beneath their feet.[3]
