House van Onderzoeker

The van Onderzoekers concentrate on the continental trade, with extensive interests in the Empire, Kislev, Norsca and northern Bretonnia. They have been particularly aggressive in expanding their contacts among the mining towns and Dwarf holds of the western Reikland, trying to cut out middlemen and making their deals directly. Recent years have seen them forced to spend a small fortune to fight mostly losing court battles with houses whose trade they have infringed, the longest and most expensive against the junior branch of the Haagen family in Bogenhafen.

But Thijs inherited a damaged position from his father, wholacked the family's traditional business savvy. House van Onderzoeker is heavily in debt, with many of its holdings mortgaged. Thijs's efforts to expand trade with the Reikland Dwarfs has cost him his alliance with the Foogers. Though still allied with House van den Nijmenk, speculation is rife that Thijs may not have the political and business talent to save his family's seat on the Directorate. The family mansion is in Guilderveld. Their symbol is crossed tridents over a merchant ship, on a blue shield.
