House Orlock

A metal gauntlet clutching an iron chain: the symbol of House Orlock

House Orlock is one of the six families who make their home in the "Hive City" part of Hive Primus, the capital of Necromunda. The Orlocks, as house members are commonly known, are responsible for the production of the majority of the iron in Hive Primus, which has led to the house earning the sobriqet of "House of Iron".

The Orlocks have a longstanding rivalry with the mysterious House Delaque, due to the Orlocks sabotaging a Delaque factory, which led to the Delaques losing a very lucrative buisness contract with the noble house Ulanti. When the Orlocks got the contract instead, things only escalated, and the Delaques retaliated by assassinating Lord Hagan Orlock. The chances of either house burying the hatchet is infinitismally small.

As for the other houses, the Orlocks are on surprisingly good terms with the matriarchal Escher, due to the Orlock traditionally treating the women very well, espescially compared to the other houses.^{[Needs Citation]}
