Clan Gutirez
Based in Fort William, Clan Gutierez is one of the most traditionalist First Clans. Like the Zucco, the Gutierez regard themselves as superior and work hard to maintain that image. They have a fine military tradition - two of the Field Marshals in the last hundred cycles have been from the clan - and are renowned businessmen. Unfortunately, in their arrogance they disregard the new clans and clanless and work to minimize their contact with such groups. This limits both business and political opportunities, though the clan leadership appears unconcerned by such matters, preferring instead to keep both their bloodlines and business dealings "pure." Indeed, members of the clan are warned against romantic liaisons with "lesser" members of Western society and members caught engaged in such activities risk expulsion. Gutierez Alban leads the clan and shows no sign of stepping down or nominating a proxy despite his age of 112 cycles. The Bossano, Caruana and Matutes Clans are all subordinate to the Gutierez.
