Cabot, Cunningham & Crowley

CC&C is one of the oldest law-firms in Freedom City in more ways than one. Founded in 1766, the firm moved its offices to New York City from 1866 until 1979, when it moved back to Freedom.
CC&C is a cutthroat firm, defending criminals able to afford its rates and involved in all manner of shady dealings. Lawyers are drawn to the firm’s ruthless reputation and its top salary rates. Those who succeed are quickly seduced by lives of wealth, power, and influence, much like the firm’s founder.

History

Lucius Cabot was a skilled attorney in colonial-era Freedom, but always cared more about winning than justice. In 1768, he convinced a woman accused of witchcraft to reveal her secrets in exchange for clemency. He summoned a demon and struck a bargain for wealth, power, success, and eternal youth to enjoy it. He then secured the woman’s conviction and death by hanging to safeguard his secret.
Since then, Cabot has adopted a number of identities across the world, though he never relinquished the deed for his colonial townhouse on Lantern Hill. At the urging of his demon master in 1979, Lucius moved his law firm back to Freedom City, posing as his own descendant. Cabot doesn’t yet know the reasons for this move, but he is once more a powerful figure in the city’s legal landscape and enjoying the fruits of his success.
Cabot’s occult dealings have led to run-ins with both Siren and Eldrich. Despite this, no one can prove he or his firm are involved with anything illegal, much less the occult. Cabot’s status as an occultist is fairly well known in the city’s mystic subculture, but not at all outside of it.
