Catherine saw great opportunity to exploit the existing criminal elements of humanity to further her personal goals while also providing security and sustenance for her followers. Like many of the empires of Europe, the Sinclaire clan found the continent of Africa ripe for the taking. Sinclaire slave ships abducted countless natives from their lands to feed their ever growing numbers. As time went on, the Sinclaire went on to provide this service for other clans as well. Human trafficking was not the only enterprise the Sinclaire clan had its hands in. As time went on, the Sinclaire clan engaged in drug trafficking, prostitution, assassinations, theft, and eventually cyber-crimes. Each expansion of their criminal enterprise gave them another tool in which to control and manipulate the humans from which they fed. A large, unknown Chateau in the countryside of France stands as the symbolic headquarters of the Sinclaire Clan. The actual headquarters is situated deep under the grounds in a series of tunnels and large rooms with enough protection to shield the inhabitants from several nuclear explosions. Beyond a small number of vampire and human servants, the majority of the Sinclaire clan are scattered across the world working in small cells to control their vast criminal empire, simply named the Sinclaire Foundation. Meticulous steps and strict rules are in place to prevent mortals from discovering the connection between the criminal empire and its association with vampires. Trust is thus rarely given and loyalty is seen as the most crucial attribute for a Sinclaire. Each member must be willing and ready to end their own lives if it threatens the clan. Its actual members include a little over 3,200 vampires with a large number of human thralls and lackeys. Humans who show their loyalty through decades of service are given the option to become vampires themselves. There is no better intelligence agency in the world than the Sinclaire Foundation. They possess archives of information about countries, people, and organizations around the world that may prove a threat to them, including those that are supernatural. This information is most often used against humans to blackmail them into doing what the clans want, or carefully manipulating events from the shadows in their benefit. Within the Sinclaire clan exist a group of vampire assassins that serve to abduct or execute persons of interest or value to the Sinclaire clan. These warriors are hand-picked by Catherine and trained against her personally to ensure their effectiveness. For the Sinclaire clan, the ends justify the means.
