The Viras family was founded by Jerec in Ankh-Morpork
In the bustling, cobblestone streets and twisted lanes of Ankh-Morpork, the Viras family sprouted like a weed through the cracks in the pavement. They were no ordinary gang; they were a family of misfits, a motley crew of street orphans who found solace in each other's company.
The orphans of Viras were born out of the failures of the city's guilds. They survived in the shadows, their lives woven together like a patchwork quilt. They pilfered scraps, swapped secrets, and occasionally pinched a sausage from Dibbler's cart. But they were bound by something deeper - a hunger for belonging. In the flickering lamplight, they whispered dreams and forged bonds that would outlast empires.
As the years spun their web, the Viras clan evolved. Their turf expanded, and they gained respect - legitimacy, even - within the city and across the Disc. Loyalty flowed through their veins like the cheap scumble from the Mended Drum. When one of their own fell ill, they pooled their coins together for medicine. When danger loomed, they stood shoulder to shoulder, ready to face whatever came their way. And when death claimed a comrade, they mourned together, their tears mixing with rain on the cobbled streets of the city.
Jerec, the enigmatic founder of the Viras family, was their guiding star. No one knew where he came from or how he acquired his uncanny knowledge of the inner workings of Ankh-Morpork. Some said he'd struck a deal with the city's ancient families; others whispered that he'd dealt with Death himself. Regardless, Jerec led the family with a goofy grin and a penchant for childish pranks.
Champions spanned their ranks - pickpockets, brawlers, and killers, all eager to prove their mettle on the streets of Ankh-Morpork, their quest for strength and fellowship unyielding. As the moon winked down on their various activities, the Viras family whispered their motto together: "Familia eligitur" - A family is chosen.
