Las Vegas Sewer Vagrants

The Las Vegas Sewer Vagrants (so named in this wiki) were a cult of homeless people who committed a series of pickpocketing crimes in Persuasion.

Background
The vagrants were initially a loosely defined community living in the sewers of Las Vegas, Nevada. All of them were out on the streets for various reasons. They were formally, implicitly organized by a new resident named Marvin Caul, a former, disgraced magician who went underground due to feeling unappreciated in his job. He was assisted by one member, Carrie Bailey, but he eventually killed her after she decided to leave for another magician. Then, he hypnotized another member, Cesar Jones, and had him believe Marvin was a powerful being called "The Doctor" as intimidation for Cesar and the other vagrants. Under his and Cesar's reign, the vagrants committed a series of pickpocketing crimes against Las Vegas citizens, and they were forced to donate a sizable portion of the money to Marvin, who would use it to fund a show at the Rio All Suite Hotel. All the while, they remained unaware that Marvin was "The Doctor", while Marvin continued to pose as another ordinary member.

Modus Operandi
The vagrants committed pickpocketing crimes through various ways. Members were known to infiltrate casinos, posing as tourists, and take money or chips while the owners are not looking. Judging from Marvin's dialogue, another method involved one vagrant distracting hapless victims, allowing another to steal any valuable items, followed by the two of them fleeing in a getaway vehicle driven by a third vagrant. New members were only allowed to join the group if a current member vouched for them. Any members who attempted to leave were killed by Cesar under the orders of Marvin, unbeknownst to the others.

Profile
No profile of the vagrants was made by the BAU, since they were focused on Marvin and Cesar.
