The WHYOS are a post civil war gang (1870's). They resided in New York City and indulged in all kinds of crimes ranging from pick pocketing to assassinations. Although the WHYOS were predominantly Irish not all that were involved were, The WHYOS saw a huge boom in their financial situation and overall control of the city. When Don Driscoll and Don Lyons took over, they helped move the crew into more serious business. Soon the WHYOS started getting involved in extortion prostitution and murder for hire services. Not only did this help the financial aspect of the WHYOS, but it also helped the street credit that they had. They became untouchable. No gang would dare try to cross them. They slowly started engulfing smaller gangs and started to slowly take over the borough of Manhattan. They soon ran into some issues. As their number kept growing so did they ego.
Don Driscoll, the leader at the time, fell in love with Bridget Garrity. She was a prostitute that was being pimped out by John Mcarthy, the biggest pimp in the city with a lot of power as well. This caused a rivalry between the two and constant feuds. After several attempts to end each other's life. It got to a point where Driscoll was consumed with anger and impatience that he could not wait any longer seeing this man alive. He decided he was going to end this himself once and for all. He made his way to the saloon where McCarthy was at, and point his gun at him. One of the bodyguards pushed Driscoll causing him to miss his first shot, he then managed to fire a shot at the bodyguard. In a split second McCarthy managed to make a run from his seat, when Driscoll emptied his revolver into McCarthy's back. Little did he know that one of the bullets he fired managed to hit the woman he was in love with. She hid behind the tables when she heard the shooting which happened to be right in back of McCarthy. Once he approached McCarthy and confirmed he was dead, he heard someone gurgling behind the table. He leaps over to see Bridget lying on the floor, the bullet had hit her throat. Driscoll couldn't believe his eyes, he screamed in agony holding Bridget in his arms until she gave her last breath. Confused with the horrors he had just committed Driscoll fled the scene, but was shortly apprehended by the police. Don Driscoll had sealed his own fate. He was to be executed by hanging for the 3 murders that he committed. The murders of McCarthy, Bridget, and the bodyguard.
A couple months later the now sole leader of the WHYOS, The other leader Don Lyons, was arrested for murdering someone leaving the WHYOS with no official leader. This marked the true decline of the once infamous WHYOS. They continued operating after but not on the same scale. They were constantly being checked by other crews who were now bigger than them, The Monk Eastman and the 5 Point Gang. Slowly but surely WHYOS started to lose control of their turf to the other gangs until WHYOS was no more. The remaining members scattered around, some fled the state, some fled the country, the ones caught were executed by other gangs.
Some speculate that the WHYOS disbanded and all of the members that were tied to the gang had died off. That is false, the WHYOS never disbanded. They regrouped and started to operate under different names around the world. No one was brave enough to bear the name again.
Touchy Fo's grandpa, a former member of WHYOS, moved to Liberty City to regroup with his other fellow members. He tried to get the WHYOS to come back into existence several times but every time he tried none of the original members wanted to get involved again. After years of trying, Touchy's grandpa got sick and his days were numbered. While on his death bed he grabbed Touchy's hand and gripped it as tight as he could and said "I'm sorry I couldn't leave you anything to inherit. You know I never had anything worth giving in life besides WHYOS. That's why I want you to start the WHYOS again for me." Not knowing what to say, Touchy nodded as he watched his grandpa's blinks start to last longer. He watched until his eyes didn't open and his grip loosened and fell to his side. Touchy knew he couldn't let his grandfather down, so he got to work.
