Medrano Syndicate

The Medrano Family, or Medrano Criminal Syndicate, is a criminal organization operating out of The Heights, Chicago. The Heights serves as a natural vantage point over Chicago as it was once home to the wealthiest members of Chicago. Their bygone mansions and estates serve now as headquarters, fortresses, and brothels for one of the most ruthless criminal organizations in the Great Lakes Wasteland.

The Medrano Family traffics mostly in prostitution and chems, operating brothels all across the ruins of Chicago. Medrano whores are often touted as being the best money can buy, and as a result are in high demand. Likewise, Medrano chems are some of the cheapest and most widely found in the wasteland; if you're huffing jet, chances are it was made in a Medrano chem-lab.

The Medrano Family in spite of its wealth (or because of it), is largely lacking in technical expertise. They barely keep the lights going in their facilities, and wouldn't know the first thing about how their guns work. As a result they often contract out other groups, usually the Chicago Outfit, to solve any technical problems the Family runs into. Over the years this business relationship has grown into a near symbiotic nature - the Medranos provide chems and cheap prostitutes and the Outfit supplies guns and technicians. The two groups enjoy the business relationship and all that it brings. Because of this the two organizations are largely regarded as the kings of Chicago.
