Devil Demons MC: Based in Western NY. Long-time friend of the Lost Kings MC. Their clubs are intertwined and share a lot of history. More of this is explored in the Hollywood Demons series.

Wolf Knights MC: Mostly an ally of the Lost Kings. They used to run Slater County but said they were dissolving their charter in White Lies and turning it over to the Lost Kings. As of Reckless Truths , Slater County is officially Lost Kings MC territory.

Iron Bulls MC: (From the Iron Bulls MC series by Phoenyx Slaughter): Southwestern outlaw club. Meets up and does business with LOKI once in a while.

Savage Dragons MC: (From the Iron Bulls MC series by Phoenyx Slaughter): Texas outlaw club.

ENEMY CLUBS:

Vipers MC: Used to run Ironworks until the Lost Kings took over that territory. Still active in other parts of the country.

South of Satan MC: Vermont MC who has stirred up trouble for LOKI in the past. Last disposed of in Reckless Truths .

LOST KINGS MC TERMINOLOGY

LOKI: Short for LOst KIngs. Only to be used by members of the Lost Kings MC.

War room: Where the Lost Kings hold “church.”

Property patch: When a member takes a woman as his old lady (wife status), he gives her a vest with a property patch.

In my series, the vest has a “Property of Lost Kings MC” patch and the member’s road name on the back.

The officers also place their patches on the ol’ lady’s vest as a sign that they always have her back.

Her man’s patch or club symbol is placed over the heart.

Rock’s patch is a crown. Wrath’s is a star.

Murphy’s is a four-leaf clover. Teller’s is a dollar sign.

Z’s is the letter Z. Rooster’s patch is a rooster wearing a crown.

As a joke, Wrath gave Rock and Hope a “product of” patch for baby Grace.

PLACES IN THE LOST KINGS MC WORLD

I use a mix of real and imaginary names to describe the places in my series. Again, I bend and shape geography to my needs as this is a fictional world that I have created.

Empire, NY: The territory run by the Lost Kings MC upstate charter. This is a fictional version of Albany, NY, the capital of New York State. Many of the Lost Kings MC’s businesses are located in and around Empire.

Slater, NY: Loosely based on Schenectady County. Until recently it was the Wolf Knights MC’s territory.

Ironworks, NY : Loosely based on Rensselaer County (Troy, NY). At the beginning of the series, it was run by the Vipers MC. It is now considered territory of the Lost Kings MC.

Union, NY : A fictional area two hours south of Empire, NY, where the “downstate” charter is located.

Pine Hollow, NY: Where the Cedarwood Family Funeral Home is located. About an hour west of Empire, NY.

Crystal Ball: The strip club owned by the Lost Kings MC and one of their legitimate businesses. They often refer to it simply as “CB.” Located in Empire County.

Furious Fitness: The gym Wrath owns with Murphy and Jake. Often just referred to as “Furious.” Located not far from Crystal Ball.

Strike Back : Owned by Sullivan Wallace but members of the Lost Kings MC and Ruthless & Royal have worked and worked out there in the past.

Johnson County/Johnsonville: Fictional area where Heidi grew up. About an hour west of “Empire.” Where Strike Back Gym, The Castle, and Zips are located.

Zips: Racetrack owned by Eraser where all the illegal gambling/racing in the area happens.

The Castle: Formerly a juvenile detention center.

The building is now used to house the underground fighting ring run by Remy and Griff.

Murphy used to fight here. Other LOKI members also blow off steam in the cage here from time to time.

Located in the middle of nowhere, NY, it once-upon-a-time housed Griff, Vapor, Eraser, Sully, and possibly Teller during their “troubled youth” days.

Kodack, NY: Another fictional NY area located in Western New York. Somewhere near Buffalo, perhaps. This territory is run by the Devil Demons MC.

Empire Medical Center: Local hospital where all the Kings receive medical treatment. Heidi also works there now.

OTHER MC TERMINOLOGY

Most terminology was obtained through research. However, I have also used some artistic license in applying these terms to my romanticized, fictional version of an outlaw motorcycle club. This is not an exhaustive list.

Cage: A car, truck, van—basically anything other than a motorcycle.

Church: Club meetings all full-patch members must attend. Led by the president of the club, but officers will update the members on the areas they oversee. (Some clubs refer to the meeting room where they hold church as the “chapel.” My club refers to it as their “war room.”

Citizen/civilian: Anyone not a hardcore biker or belonging to an outlaw club. “Citizen wife” would refer to a spouse kept entirely separate from the club.

Cut: Leather vest worn by outlaw bikers and adorned with patches and artwork displaying the club’s unique colors.

The Lost Kings’ colors are blue and gray.

Their logo is a skull with a crown. The Respect Few, Fear None patch is earned by doing time for the club without snitching.

Brother’s Keeper patches are earned by killing for the club.

Loyal Brother is for a brother who’s spent more than five years with the club.

Colors: The “uniform” of an outlaw motorcycle gang. A leather vest, with the three-piece club patch on the back, and various other patches relating to their role in the club.

Fly colors: To ride on a motorcycle wearing colors.

Muffler bunny or “bunnies”: A girl who hangs around to provide sexual favors to members.

Old ladies in my series will sometimes refer to them as “friends of the club,” depending on the girl in question.

Some clubs refer to them as club whores, patch whores, or cut sluts.

These terms are not regularly used in my series.

Sometimes simply referred to as a “club girl.”

Nomad: A club member who does not belong to any specific charter, yet has privileges in all charters.

Old lady/ol’ lady: Wife or steady girlfriend of a club member.

Patched in: When a new member is approved for full membership.

Patch holder: A member who has been vetted through performing duties for the club as a prospect or probate and has earned his three-piece patch.

Road name: Nickname. Usually given by the other members.

Run: A club-sanctioned outing, sometimes with other chapters and/or clubs. Can also refer to a club business run.

I’m sure I’m forgetting something! But this should be enough to get you started!
