Pepper Syndicate

Pepper Syndicate Info.
The Pepper Syndicate is a Mafia-based organization dealing in illegal ventures. They have been in business many years, and threatened the existence of the Spice World twice, once in a crime spree stopped only by General Garlique and Sargeant Tabasco, and the second in a plot to rule the world orchestrated by Thai.

Spice is Nice
During Spice is Nice, the Pepper Syndicate was the major antagonist group for most of the comic. Led by Thai, they all "reject" Cayenne from their group, so he goes to Garlique and gets a team assembled to try to stop the Syndicate. Thai later reveals that this was a ruse, to allow him time to research what the recipes did. Thai, after learning his two operatives, Fat Albert and Count Chocula were defeated, he calls Chilly to prepare him for the Protagonists. Here he also shows that he has captured Prince Peasley for unknown reasons. Chilly also sets his secret weapon, Captain Planet on guard to defeat the Protagonists upon their arrival. During the interlude of Chapters 1 and 2, Chilly conquers the Asian Cabinet with Planet's help. Chilly soon realizes Planet has failed, and sends his army to defeat them. Soon the Free Asian Corp. is fighting against the Pepper Syndicate in a three day battle. In the end, Chilly uses his Clock Cannon to kill Wasabi, but is eventually defeated by Sushi. Generalissimo Portabelo is revealed as the leader of the Shroomster Hordes, and eventually he captures the Protagonists. He also accepts Cumin's bet. He attempts to stop Cumin after they meet Genie Jene, using an army of Borritos, who are all defeated by Cumin's Taco Power. The Pepper Syndicate actually has two recipes, but one is stolen by Mr. L, and soon Thai forces one of his subpordinates to use the last recipe, and he sets out for Cookbook Heights, the highest point in the Kingdom. This is all to ressurect the Legendary Dragonfruit, and Cayenne fails to control him, dying. After gaining a puzzle piece, Thai is eventually deemed useless and is murdered. Jalepeno is the scientist behind Darth Spader, and is killed by his power. Habenero is the last living member of the Syndicate who is a Pepper, and is eventually deemed unnescessary and discarded. At the revelation that there are no Peppers left, the Syndicate is dissolved and reformed into the Brotherhood of Evil.
