One Percenters

Hells Angels Inc is the most successful company of its kind in Canada.

In 2000 he moved to Ontario in force and absorbed or eliminated much of the competition. They recruited a lot of new members, including 200 members of rival gangs such as Lobos and choice of Satan.

Prior to 2000, Quebec was the stronghold of the Angel, but a prolonged war turf with rival biker gang the Rock Machine has killed 150 people.
