Like the other Fingers, the Thumb is one of the most powerful Syndicates in the City, possessing enough influence to rival even the Wings.[4] Like the other four Fingers, the Thumb is a large Syndicate with a unique culture and creed that all members follow fervently. In particular, members of the Thumb value politeness and respect to one's superiors above all else.[5] In practice, this means that the Syndicate demands absolute compliance to hierarchy, as when dealing with the Thumb, any action that demonstrates a lack of respect for higher authority will be met with immediate punishment. Depending on the mistake, the consequence may extend past the rule breaker, to even their blameless comrades.[6] Ultimately, the Thumb will punish anyone it deems an offender, regardless of how innocent the mistake or clueless the individual is.[7] Members of the Thumb also understand their own need to respect outsiders, and may spend time studying the hierarchy of other City factions in order to ensure they never disrespect someone of a higher rank.[8] Thumb punishments tend to revolve around the removal of body parts, such as body dismemberment or the forceful removal of one's tongue.[9] While the shape of the Syndicate differs slightly depending on the quadrant of the City, members tend to dress in black, red, and gold attire. Each member's status can be gleamed from their uniform, as the Thumb signifies its ranks by the number of arrows on its badges, and sub-rank by the number of pins on its collars. The Thumb's weapons of choice are guns, which they make varied use of—such as through fighting with the bayonet or buttstock—in order to cut down on bullet costs.[10] The Thumb's hierarchy system features four major ranks, which are then divided into multiple sub-ranks. The ranks are as follows: Soldato (Soldier): The common foot soldier of the Thumb, and the lowest rank possible. "Common Fixers" are equivalent in rank to them.[11] The Soldato rank is divided into four sub-ranks: Primo, Secondo, Terzo, and Quarto.[12] Capo (Captain): Those who command groups of Soldatos, relaying orders from their higher-ups. They are able to act with more liberties. A Grade 1 Fixer is considered equivalent in rank to a Capo.[11][1] The Capo rank is divided into four unknown sub-ranks.[13] Consigliere (Advisor): A member or members with sway over the decisions of the Capo dei capi and advising them. They appear to handle the instatement of particular members of the organization, with at least a "central" Consigliere directly answering to the Capo dei capi for these matters.[14] It is unclear whether the rank belongs to more than one individual at a time. Sottocapo (Underboss): The direct underlings of the Capo dei capi, who have permission to manage entire operations of the Syndicate within designated areas. They also manage the Thumb's 'families' of subsidiary Syndicates, each Sottocapo being assigned a different one. Top-ranking members of a Wing are of equivalent rank to a Sottocapo.[11] Capo dei capi (Godfather, Padrino): The highest echelon. It is unclear whether the rank belongs to more than one individual at a time. Thumb standards of respect are extreme, to the point that individuals are not allowed to look directly at those of a higher rank than them.[15] However, Thumb members of similar rank (or outside parties of an equivalent rank) are free to speak to each other however they please, such that some members may prefer to speak to their equals in order to alleviate any pressure in the discussion.[16][17] Occasionally, a higher-up may temporarily grant their own rank to someone of lower rank, should they see said person as a better fit for an operation or require someone else to attend to matters in their stead. However, this is far from a common practice.[18] The Thumb participated in the Smoke War against the Old L Corp. and the Old G Corp., during which the members of the Sette Famiglie rose to notoriety, with some of them, such as the Sottocapo Valencina, being hailed as war heroes. In recent times, the Thumb has been shown to be active in the South and East quarters of the City. After the fall of Lobotomy Corporation, the Thumb has attempted to gain control of its fallen Nest, particularly through the help of the Kurokumo Clan, its subsidiary. However, after the disappearance of Sottocapo Kalo and his underlings, their strength was hindered, and ultimately neither of the Syndicates was able to lay claim on the District. During the events of Limbus Company, the eastern branch of the Thumb has attempted to gain more direct control of Hongyuan, with Capo IIII Meursault supporting a candidates of the Shi Family during the Family Hierarch Evaluation. In the case a member of the Shi family failed to win the Evaluation, the Thumb was contracted to void the results of the Evaluation and plunge the District into chaos.[19] After Jia Xichun was declared the winner of the Evaluation, the Thumb, together with a number of other factions, marched towards Hongyuan and attempted to lay siege to Daguanyuan, although they were ultimately driven back after the death of Meursault and the ascension of Jia Xichun into the role of Hierarch.
