Dinner Crew

The Dinner Crew is a name for the supernatural mafia that Hank gradually acquired during his time in Portland.

History

The Dinner Crew came into existence through Hank helping to provide food, and later, protection, for supernatural beings in need. The connections he formed and the people he brought together, however, quickly grew into a huge network spanning the entirety of Portland- eventually even gaining a level of influence over the city's the police.

Hank would remain involved with his mafia until the day he died. After his death, leadership of the organization would continue to pass down the Pine family line.

This would eventually lead to the dinner crew passing into the control of a descendent of Hank by he name of 'Henry Pines', a far more ruthless individual. Being a violent extremist, his way of running the Crew differs drastically from that of Hank. In his radical and misguided attempt to stamp out supernatural discrimintion through force, he even resorts to binding Alcor to his will.

This would ultimately backfire, and Portland's supernatural mafia would pass out of his control.
