He is a very calm demeanour, a strong leader who shows he is very loyal to the Warriors and often shows various signs of intelligence. During his day before becoming a Warrior, Swan was part of the Destroyers alongside Cowboy, Cleon, and Vermin but him and Cowboy left at some point. Cleon described it to be "Were finished with that Destroyer bullshit you were right about Virgil".[1] In 1978, Swan joined the Warriors with Cowboy and together with Cleon and Vermin they took over Coney Island, forcing the Destroyers to be left with the east side of Coney Island. During this time in 1979, with all their army recruited, the Warriors began waging a war between the Destroyers. Swan is also chosen by Cleon, along with Ajax and Snow to follow Chatterbox, a leader of the Hi-Hats to kill him, as retribution for invading their home territory, and after increasing their reputation, the Warriors emerged the victors after a confrontation with Virgil, which ended dramatically in his death; following the latter's death, the Warriors finally gain control over Coney Island.

Swan is announced to be the new leader of the Warriors, and through his leadership they resolve to return to Coney Island.

On the other hand, Swan begins to feel close to a woman named Mercy, who has developed a bond with Swan. He and Mercy then travelled to Union Square where he reunited with the other Warriors, and battled the Punks in the toilets. After defeating the Punks, Swan, Mercy and remaining Warriors finally travelled back to Coney Island. There, they encounter and confront the Rogues and its leader Luther, the man responsible for Cyrus' murder and the Warriors framing. At the beach, Swan challenged Luther to a one-on-one fight only for the latter pull out the gun that killed Cyrus.

There, they were confronted by the Luther and the Rogues; however, Masai and a large group of Riffs then appeared, now aware that Luther killed Cyrus. Masai allowed The Warriors safe passage past the Riffs, before he and the Riffs advanced on the Rogues and wasted them, avenging Cyrus
Cyrus is voiced by Michael Potts.
Masai
Masai is the now turned leader of the Grameracy Riffs after Cyrus' death. He is African-American. Masai goes against Cyrus' decision to organise a meeting that will unite the gangs, only for Cyrus not to listen. However, he was proven to be correct; Cyrus is killed by the Rogues leader, Luther and he frames the Warriors, resulting in them being the New York City outcast and Masai being the Riffs leader, calling a hit on the Warriors on the radio. The Riffs soon meet a man, having witnessed Luther firing the gun. At Coney Island, after the Rogues defeat, Masai apologises to the Warriors for the situation and makes peace. This implies an alliance between the Warriors and Rifs. Masai proceeded to kill Luther and the Rogues.
Masai is voiced by Charles Parnell.
New Bloods
New Bloods is a gang and a ally of the Warriors, wearing the same colours. They appear in occasional missions aiding the Warriors onto gang turfs; they appear when Cleon and Fox take them to Tremont to enact their revenge against the Orphans, who wrongly boasted about taking out the Warriors. They also make an appearance when they are involved with an ongoing war between the Warriors and the Destroyers for Coney Island, which later comes to an end when the Warriors emerge the victors. The New Bloods appear when after Warriors members, Fox and Snow are brutally beaten up by the Turnbull AC's, they enact their revenge against the AC's by barging inside the Red Devil, killing several Turnbull AC's and later going after it's paraplegic to kill him, as vengeance for attacking their fellow members. The New Bloods are not present during Cyrus' meeting. They also appear in Coney Island free roam, determinant by the player to choose if they want to join the playable character for bonus missions in Coney Island.
