Three Families

The Three Families are a group of factions that control the New Vegas Strip on behalf of Mr. House. The families include the Chairmen, Omertas and the White Glove Society. The leaders in 2281 of the various families are Benny of the Chairmen, Nero of the Omertas and Marjorie of the White Gloves.

Background
The Three Familes, were originally wasteland tribes in and around New Vegas. Prior to the events of Fallout: New Vegas, House had the tribes rounded up and "rehabilitated" them into their present forms in order to mimic the Las Vegas that had existed before the war.

Robert Houses' dream of returning The Strip to glory meant needing a workforce to use during renovation and construction, as well as someone to run the attractions of The Strip. All of this was performed easily enough, the problem however was that large parts of the Las Vegas ruins were inhabited by a tribe calling themselves the Great Khans, even worse was that these "Khans" had no interest in what Mr. House had to say.

Rounding up the other tribes around the Vegas Ruins, Mr. House gave resources, weapons, and full funding for a campaign against the Khans. The Great Khans being unable to withstand the attacks of three well organized and equipped tribes, retreated from Vegas and headed East to settle in Bitter Springs.

As part of their rehabilitation, House used his business acumen to educate these tribes on how to properly, and maybe more importantly for House, independently run the businesses of The Strip. After their education House put the families in charge of the casinos, hotels, and attractions.

Some family members, like an unnamed member of the Chairmen in All Roads, still have behaviors or use phrases that harken back to their history as tribals. Others, like Benny, look down upon these members for being uncivilized.
