Circle of Burkes/Harby's
From Unofficial Handbook of the Virtue Universe
A Rogue Isles fast-food chain founded by Francesco Harby in 1957, shortly after Lord Recluse declared himself ruler of the Rogue Isles. The restaurant chain is rumored to be controlled by the Circle of Burkes crime organization at this time.
Humble Beginnings
As part of Lord Recluse's plan to shape his empire, Francesco Harby garnered Lord Recluse's favor by proposing to use the Arachnos logo as part of the restaurant chain's advertising campaign. This move assisted Lord Recluse's societal goals of instilling Arachnos into every foundation of the Rogue Isles. The chain proved very successful and profitable, especially for Harby himself and Arachnos (through "loyalties").
Recent Years
The restaurant chain hit hard times recently, through defending against investigative attempts to shut down the operation by Longbow forces. No one really knows why Freedom Corps targeted a restaurant. Details are forthcoming.
