The Clay Crime Family is a criminal organization in Mafia III.

History

Background

The family was formed by Lincoln Clay in the summer of 1968 when New Bordeaux mob boss Sal Marcano and the Marcano Crime Family murdered his family members, Sammy and Ellis Robinson as well as friend Danny Burke. During the altercation, Lincoln was left for dead after Marcano's son Giorgi Marcano shot him in the head on the night of February 27, 1968 at Sammy's Bar in Delray Hollow.

Building The family

While Lincoln was recovering from his injuries under the care of Father James, his trusted friend and advisor John Donovan began assembling dossiers on every member of the Marcano crime family. He also searched out possible allies for Lincoln, finding three, Cassandra, Thomas Burke, and Vito Scaletta. Each of them had been wronged by Marcano in the past, and each one had the assets and people Lincoln would need to wage his war.

After taking back Delray Hollow, Pointe Verdun and River Row from Marcano and turning control over to his new Underbosses, Lincoln gathered the group at Eaglehurst Plantation for a Sit Down to iron out a plan for eliminating the Marcanos and taking over New Bordeaux. While distrustful of one another, Lincoln gave them an ultimatum, to either fall in line or get out now. Between their greed and their hatred of Marcano, they all agreed to fall in line and back Lincoln.

Taking Over

Throughout the summer and fall of 1968, Lincoln waged his war on Sal Marcano's operations, dismantling them one by one and putting his own people in their place. He took down Sal Marcano's capos, brothers Lou and Tommy, and sister-in-law Olivia, before finally going after Sal and his son Giorgi at their half finished casino in North Lake, killing them and their remaining men.

Afterward, Lincoln met with Leo Galante, who came to New Bordeaux on behalf of The Commission. After Lincoln assured Leo that he has no quarrel with them, the two came to an agreement - that Lincoln can have New Bordeaux and run it any way he pleases, as long as he kicks up 20 percent to the Commission once a month.

Current Operations

The family runs various rackets in all nine districts of New Bordeaux, covering everything from auto theft to waste disposal, including a lucrative marijuana Grow House in Bayou Fantom run by Mitch Decosta. The day-to-day running of these operations is entrusted to Lincoln's Underbosses, who still distrust one another, but manage an uneasy peace as a matter of necessity by keeping out of each other's way.
