Somebody’s got to do the paperwork, and the Reeves do it quite well — so well that they are the de facto bankers of the Known Worlds and probably one of the richest factions in the universe. Few realize just how wealthy they’ve become through their loans to noble houses. Just about everybody owes the Reeves, and when a Reeve comes calling in favors, few dare deny them: their debt collectors are fered on every planet, moon, and asteroid. Most people, however, know the Reves as layers, legal-eagles, and justice-seeking firebrands, defending the hight and the low alike from their accusers.
