The Hundred Families are a faction in Wasteland 3.
Background[]
The richest and most powerful group in all of Colorado,[1] and citizens of Colorado Springs, descended from the survivalist families who founded the Patriarch's nation when he united them in approximately 2057,[2] in order to combat and overthrow Colorado's former ruling gangs,[3] such as the Monster Army.[4] Despite their name, the Hundred Families were only composed of sixty-three individual families, with their current name chosen due to it sounding better.[5]
Most of the Families are dedicated to rebuilding America as it was before the bombs, utilizing mercenaries as bodyguards and enforcers to maintain their rule.[6] Others left the group or were massacred, such as the Dorseys, who left the group around 2087 due to challenging the Patriarch's rule.[7] As a result of the power the Families hold, the richest and most influential of the Families live closest to the Patriarch and his palace, in Broadmoor Heights.[8] In addition, Aspen served as the Families' vacation retreat and yearly Colorado affairs summit meeting place,[9][10] with the Families monitoring Interstate 82 in order to keep the road clear.[11]
