The Northcrests are a famous family in the The City, many of which have been Barons (after the Bresling dynasty ended). There have been at least ten Northcrests, and three of them have outlawed the religions of the Old Gods in their time, while the rest suppressed religion through propaganda and indoctrination.

Trivia
The name Northcrest is taken from the name Northcrest Road in the Thief II.
Obediah Northcrest appears to have ruled about three generations before the present. He would have had to ruled shortly before or after Oliver Northcrest (710). But disappeared while on journey. Samia Northcrest became Baron not long after them.
