The Crab Clan
The ruling clan of Port Minato
Culture
The Crab are merchant mariners, and fishermen. They started as several unorganized families along Hokkai's coasts, but during the War of 10 Shoguns, they decided to ally with Hanzo's armies, provding much needed supplies via covert coastal-hugging ships.
They have adopted the fineries of Hokkaidan nobility in the way that many nouveau-riche families do: by flaunting it. Though they are kind to their people and more than willing to share the wealth of Port Minato amongst its denizens, the Crab wear very fine clothing and jewelery an an almost every day basis, and decorate their homes and offices with foreign art and sculptures.
Public Agenda
The Crab Clan is tasked with keeping Port Minato running,and they do a good job of this. Stevedores and other merchants are their highest priority, with most of the common folk living in the settlement fulfilling one of these jobs. There are also other artisans who provide necessariy services: cobblers, carpenters, bricklayers, and others who keep the infrastructure of Port Minato thriving.
Assets
Large vaults of gold, the infrastructure of the port itself, trade contracts with foreign nations, several trading vessels.
