General Banks

Astoria Banks, more commonly known as General Banks, was the leader of the secret rebellion against the Everett System. She was the cousin of Frisky the Anchovy, the Everett System's leader, and the two had always had a grudge for each other. She is played in Halloween Bandits by Miranda Lewis.

Backstory/Childhood
General Banks was born as Astoria Marie Banks on February 11, 1994 to parents Gavin and Helena Banks. Astoria was an only child, and was very lonely in her childhood. The small family lived in Chicago, Illinois, and Astoria was homeschooled, adding to her reclusive nature. Most of her interaction with other kids her age happened at family reunions, where she discovered her hatred for her cousin Matthew, who was 7 years younger than her.

After graduating from high school, Astoria began creating her own social media page, which she called Bubblepost. Bubblepost was her way to earn money and support herself as an adult, when she didn't much want to interact with other people. After about a year, Bubblepost really kicked off, and Astoria settled down by herself and bought a small flat in a suburb of Chicago.

Frisky the Anchovy
Helena Banks, Astoria's mother, had a sister named Grace Walker. Grace married a man named James Everett, who was the son of famed gangster and robber Marcus Everett. Despite the bad decisions and life of his father, James was a good man, and he and Grace were happy together.

In 2002, James and Grace had a son named Matthew. James told little Matthew adventurous stories of Marcus Everett, and the small boy was entranced. In 2007, at a family reunion, Matthew met his cousin Astoria Banks. The two instantly developed a hatred for each other.

When Matthew was thirteen, he took his ideas and fantasies about his grandfather, and began stealing priceless items and cash in large amounts. Everywhere he stole, he left a stamp that said "Frisky the Anchovy", his childhood nickname. As he grew older, he gathered a team of criminals to help him on his expeditions to local museums and banks. They called themselves the Everett System, after Matthew's idolized grandfather.

The Rebellion
By the time Astoria was 20, in 2014, the Everett System was famous, and the mysterious "Frisky the Anchovy" was on the FBI's list of Top Ten Most Wanted. Astoria felt a need to fight back against the Everett System, and moved to California to be closer to the Everett System's headquarters. She created a secret rebellion against the Everett System, without the police's knowledge.

The Halloween Bandits ended up joining the rebellion, because the Everett System was attempting to capture them. Eventually the Everett System imprisoned the Halloween Bandits, and after their escape, they informed the police of the secret headquarters' location and almost all the members were arrested.
