The Avalos Family
Listen, I've got chores to do, so let me see if I can make this quick. No, my father will not be running for governor. No, we don't have any plans for a political campaign in any future election. Yes, my father is serious in his offer to end the conflict with the Kyprou Family by meeting out near Gollia.
Does that about cover it? Yes? Good. Now get out of my way, or I'll get the hands out here and we can do another kind of interview.
One of the "head families" of the planet Demeter, the Avalos' have the distinct honor of being one of the first families to arrive on the planets surface as the garden world was being colonized so many generations ago, which put them in a position of unexpected power. Able to claim large swaths of land, and through careful management, come to wealth.
They have not had a life of pure luxury, however. Living on a frontier world never is. They worked the land themselves, then alongside their branch families. Since the colony ships landed, they've had near open conflict with the Kyprou Family, one of the other head families; which has claimed many lives on both sides.
The Avalos' remain well respected, in part to their generally ambitionless approach to their business ventures, and their willingness to help out those in need.
