@PuppyChow: As far as the
Roots,
Matthew doesn't have a reference to joining
Roots either, so he's a possible candidate especially with his bio, along with
Ataoualpet.
As far as
Uppers,
Beetenka has been around longer than I have, so I didn't know she wasn't an original, in which case, no, it doesn't make sense for her to be a clan
Leader. I'll submit to that reasoning. I still have a hard time seeing
Dorian as the
Leader of
Uppers though, idk why, so I'll agree with your logic of
Uppers not having a "
Leader" Perhaps they all feel like the
Leader in some sense because they're rich and powerful (not only in clint city, but in the meta as well)
