Mor Constabulary Bank

The Mor Constabulary Bank is one of Graal's banking establishments and is currently the majority family within the bankocracy government. The governor himself is Albin Leigh, who had a surprising meteoric rise to power through guile that place his banking family at the top, having never achieved such success within its long, sordid history. Originally the bank had been comprised of mercenaries operating within Graal, turned gangsters and eventually turned police, from which it earns its name, before becoming a banking establishment.

Albin Leigh was born into debt within the banking family, his parents owed the rest of the family. Albin was essentially sold to the bank to work at paying off that debt. In time, his skill with negotiation and willingness to get his hands dirty allowed him to rise to prominence and all concept of his debt was forgotten. Instead, people were indebted to him. Eventually he employed a scheme, along with Ursa Tudor of the Tudor's Premier Bank, to get him voted in as governor of Graal and in a position of total power over the city and his own banking family.

History
The Mor Constabulary Bank progenitor was a mercenary band that set up their trade within Graal city. They soon, however, turned to crime and ran protection rackets as well as extortion rackets of their own clients. They were heavily involved in slavery and smuggling until their syndicate became so relied upon in terms of their protection rackets that they had effectively replaced the genuine police force within their districts. They became officially sanctioned police, hence the name 'constabulary', but continued with their more nefarious activities within a separate arm of their family. With them being both criminals and the law, they were able to quickly enhance their preferred mode of currency - gambling and loans. In time they were easily rivalling the other small time banks and so the family relinquished their police status, handing over jurisdiction to the official police department of Graal, and took the more noble profession of banking.

Yet, like all banks, they remained corrupt. They are more prone, however, to violence and open aggression than other banking families are. They came to own the acquisition end of most of the slave trade in the city, buying or otherwise acquiring slaves to then selling them on to others, including other banks. For all their new money, however, they had never managed to attain a grand status within the upper echelons of the city government - holding just a minor seat. Then Albin Leigh schemed his way into the governor's chair, using Ursa Tudor of Tudor Premier Bank to vote for him. He also got votes from the huge number of slaves he bought up and got himself elected. Suddenly the Mor Constabulary Bank is on top and the other banks are keen to force it to topple.
