			Edward Pierrepoint, Caroline's great-grandfather, put his experience as an engineer towards refurbishing rather than scrapping prewar infrastructure: steamboat engines, harbor cranes, and eventually the Ballard Locks. He secured a percentage of all tolls collected on traffic passing through the refurbished locks for himself and his descendants; that money was the starting capital to found Pierrepoint Industries in 2210. The next generations, Clark and then Simon Pierrepoint, grew the company steadily and conservatively. With the foundation they built Caroline now feels stable enough to mount a campaign for all-out regional dominance.

	== Interests ==		== Interests ==
			Since its foundation the company has been very much focused on the long term. Its areas of concern are in industrial production and developing infrastructure. Rather than just making the most possible in the shortest amount of time, the Pierrepoints see their capital as something to be reinvested in the revitalization of the Emerald Wasteland.

	The Great War did not ravage all of Seattle equally. The city's hilly topography meant that the blast waves were deflected in some areas while others bore the brunt. Wide avenues and water acted as natural firebreaks. One of the areas spared was Magnolia, an affluent neighborhood a little to the northwest of downtown forming a natural, somewhat elevated bowl with a 'moat' of railroad tracks and canal. This easily defensible topography, combined with the military fort and a number of open spaces that could be (and were) made arable, meant that Magnolia developed a privileged position in the Wasteland.

	Even as central Seattle was resettled some hundred years after the war, Magnolia remained set apart.
