Editing Draft:Call of the Tenebrae:Vanderbilt Consortium

Vanderbilt Consortium is a multinational financial cartel run by various members of Vanderbilt family. It's operations include mining metals and minerals, producing weapons and various financial activities.

==Call of the Tenebrae==
The Consortium is introduced in ''[[Call of the Tenebrae]] ''as one of two joinable factions. The [[Hero]] can advance through their ranks by acting in organization's interest while on [[Tebris]], eventually being forced to either help it overcome the strike (organized by the [[Dorchad Regional Union of Miners|local union]]) using hired mercenaries, or to save the miners instead (it's also possible to betray them at the very last moment, joining forces with the Consortium again).

==Echoes of the Dark Past II==
In ''[[Two Worlds II Multiplayer|Echoes of the Dark Past II]] , ''the player works for the Consortium in retrieving some lost [[Tenebrae]] artifacts. For the characters involved, see below.

==Shattered Embrace==
As in a previous DLC, in [[Shattered Embrace|''Shattered Embrace'']] the Consortium is a joinable faction on [[Arveran]]. However, this time it's about [[Freehaven]]-based branch, independent from the Tebris-based one, so there is no direct continuity with the Hero's efforts prior to his arrival (any rank achieved previously is not retained, even if the character has been imported). This time, the Consortium seeks to dominate the trade with the Elves (no longer self-sufficient) through extanding it's control over the local merchant town, supplying this ancient race with various goods.

==Family members==
Known members of the family are:
* [[Ebenezer Vanderbilt]], running an irenite mine on [[Tebris]]. Introduced in ''CoT, ''mentioned in ''SE.''
* [[Jonas Vanderbilt]], son of Ebenezer, a student in [[New Ashos]]. Introduced in ''CoT ''(mentioned in letters)'', ''appeared in ''EotDP ''(a prisoner to rescue)''.''
* [[Abraham Vanderbilt]], a cousin of Ebenezer, working on taking over [[Freehaven]]. Introduced in ''EotDP2 ''(as an author of introductory letters)'','' appeared in ''SE ''(side quest donor).
* [[Bernard Vanderbilt]], Abraham's nehpew, ex-mercenary an arms dealer, trying to prove his worth. Introduced in ''EotDP2 ''(as Abe's henchman)'', ''appeared in ''SE ''(side quest donor)''.''
