It is the 4th largest faction in Brazil and is made up mostly of poorly prepared teenagers,[4] pre-teens and young adults.[5] One of the main reasons would be the lack of monthly fees.[6]

The faction was founded on January 1, 2016, in the community of Conjunto Palmeiras.[7][8]

Faction power is decentralized, so there is no overall faction leader. Currently, it is known for burning buses, massacres and homicides in the state,[9] the most notable being the Massacre of Cajazeiras.[10][11]
