Clan Tzuriel
“Every time HUMNX burns one of our domes, we just build three more. I’m grateful to Haus des Drachen for lending us iron to match our resolve. I only wish I could train patience into our enemies the way they train discipline into their knights.”
The Martian Harvest
From the scorched soil of Mars and the tenuous dust of Deimos, Clan Tzuriel grew into one of the Pan-Solar Consortium’s most vital suppliers of food and biotechnology. Mutants of the core bloodline—descendants of the Gobi Horror viral adaptation—are long-limbed, slender, and delicately built, perfectly shaped by generations to thrive in Deimos’ low gravity and thin light. As the first to reestablish mass food production after the Cozine Disaster, the Tzuriel mutants became indispensable to early recovery efforts across the system. Their algae vats, cloned meat tanks, and nutrient-rich paste exports remain the cornerstone of emergency food supplies across Human Space. Thousands of drums depart the Deimos agrodomes daily, feeding stations, colonies, refugee camps, and militaries alike.
The Price of Plenty
Tzuriel’s wealth and influence derive not from conquest or invention, but from stability and surplus. Their contract with the Martian government ensures constant demand, and their synthetic production methods allow them to overproduce even in years of abundance. These excess stores are shipped to planetary governments and gigacorporate clients, then processed into rations or stored as strategic reserves. The House’s calm demeanor masks a ruthlessly efficient logistics and bioengineering infrastructure. They do not chase expansion or trend; instead, they safeguard continuity—feeding the hungry, healing the soil, and quietly embedding themselves into the Consortium’s nutritional backbone. While many Great Houses seek to elevate humanity’s greatness, Clan Tzuriel ensures it survives the winter.
Foes in the Shadows, Allies in the Light
Despite broad respect for their humanitarian role, Clan Tzuriel has been the target of two centuries of terror. The extremist HUMNX movement, convinced of a mutant conspiracy, has hounded the clan with raids, bombings, and slander. Tzuriel has endured not by striking back blindly, but through refined counterterrorism operations, cultivating a network of intelligence cells, diplomatic liaisons, and surgical strike teams. Their expertise has earned them respect even among the militant Haus des Drachen, who routinely incorporate Tzuriel instructors into their counterinsurgency curricula. The alliance is more than symbolic—Drachen knights have stood beside Tzuriel Houseguard in joint operations, and in turn, Tzuriel shares biotechnological advancements to bolster Drachen’s elite forces. Where HUMNX sees aberration, the PSC sees adaptation. And for Clan Tzuriel, survival has always been the first step toward sovereignty.
