Van Graffs

The Van Graffs are a rather major organized crime syndicate operating in the Mojave Wasteland in 2281. They deal energy weapons to the wasters and other denizens of the region, and are heavily armed and armored. Their biggest opposition comes from the Gun Runners, who run the organized weapons trade of standard firearms.

Background
A powerful caravan family operating out of Redding, the Van Graffs are one of the primary reasons why NCR has difficulty expanding north. While the Wright family of New Reno trades in drugs and prostitution (the spoils of their successful bid for power in the wake of the Chosen One’s passing), the van Graffs trade gold and weapons. Much like the Wrights, the van Graffs are a huge family. The mother, Tiaret Van Graff, has ten children, all from different fathers. All of her children are intensely loyal to both her and each other. The caravan’s symbol is a lion’s head.

Wright family of New Reno controlled weapon trade in the northern California for a few years, they were violently knocked out of that trade by a series of brutal attacks from the van Graff family. Neither the van Graffs nor the Wrights are willing to fight each other now, as they know that the NCR would almost assuredly try to finish off the victor.
