Clan Cristobal
Led by Cristobal Santiago, the head of the Northern Guard Space Service, the Cristobal are one of the most militant clans in the Maderas Group. Fortunately, as demonstrated by Cristobal Rob in TN 1551, their martial prowess is tempered by wisdom; knowing when to draw a sword and when to leave it sheathed are key facets of securing victory. and Clan Cristobal's record is unparalleled in the WFP. The Cristobal have also proved adept on the financial battlefield, owning a number of large farms across the Protectorate as well as the Vida Larga (Long Life) medical company based in Fort Henry. The clan has gained a reputation for generosity and is a major patron of the arts and sciences. Both the Macmillan Repertory Company and the Academia de Bellas Artes in Fort Henry receive substantial grants from the clan, as does the Fort Henry Medical Center which bears the clan's name. The Cristobal have many subordinate clans, most prominent of which is the Dupree. Their ties to the Wounded Knee - the Captain of the Badlands city is a distant cousin - have led many to suggest the Dupree are a front for the Kolson smuggling cartel. This is strenuously denied by the Fort Henry Henry Duprees, but the scale and success of the carters operations in the southwest Protectorate point to some links with the local government.
