The Iron Hand is one of the oldest cabal in the city, the only one to survive the war mostly intact. Formed in the late 70's by four former gang members who had awakened. When war broke out, they tried to keep things together. When idealism failed and their role models were murdered, they decided to play things smart and hard.
They returned to their roots and mobilized sleepers to aid in their offense. They used strategy to destroy opponents before they thought about attacking them. They spearheaded the destruction of the Ascendant Singularity cabal when Cicero betrayed the that group. By the end of the war they like sharks swimming, constantly struggling just to stay whole.
Those days are past but the Iron Hand remembers the lesson. Ruthless to the core, they are not as corrupt as others claim. Yes they deal in drugs and work with criminals. But they protect the people from other monsters. Vampires. Spirits. Demons. And worse.
Since the Black Dog was exiled for his crimes, the cabal has retreated to Gary where they have become the ruling force in that city.
Except for White Ash, who has left the cabal, to try to make a new start. To be a hero again.
Sigil: A black pentagram
Sanctum: The Iron Hand's sanctum was a clearly marked old Edwardian mansion in South Side. It is now the Blue House, an old masonic mansion in Gary, formerly the headquarters of the Silver Ladder.
