History[]

Leader of the Darley Gang[]

Bones Darley had been the leader of the Darley Gang since its formation in the late 1970's. He kept the gangs operations to chop shops, protection rackets and weapons selling. It wasn't until the 2000's that his son Billy Darley started getting the gang heavily involved in drugs. Bones led the gang from his office at his chop shop, Bones' Bodyshop and Billy ran the gang on the streets. Bones didn't have any part in the killing of Brendan's son and was only annoyed by the police attention it brought. When Nick killed Joe Darley he didn't seem to care and wanted to focus on business instead of revenge against Nick. As the gang started attacking Nick and it started interfering with the gang's business Bones wanted Nick dead so he could get back to business. After the gang thought they had killed Nick things seemed to calm down until he escaped from the hospital he was in and went to visit Bones to get weapons. Nick bought guns from Bones although Bones knew he was the one who was trying to kill his son. He told Nick that he didn't care if he killed Billy although he was lying. Later after Nick began attacking the gang Bones confronts Billy in a parking garage and tells him that Nick is trying to kill him. As Bones gets angrier at Billy, Billy shoots Bones and takes his car. At this point Billy became the leader of the Darley Gang although the gang ceased to exist after most of their members were killed by Nick later that night. Bones didn't care about his sons much and only cared about making money. He had a temper and went off on Billy almost every time he talked to him. His temper led Billy to kill him because he realized that he didn't care about getting revenge against Nick and only wanted him dead so he could get on with business.
