de loretto is obviously smart - he nailed it through school. but that can be used for good and bad. if you wanted to create the perfect recruiter for an inner city gang - what traits or abilities would you put together in this person that would be the most attractive to mal-adjusted young men? girls are already around.  he's someone who gets respect from the MC group, and acknowledged as the leader...  this guy talking to you, telling you how you god you can become..it's all very alluring.
