Ancient history

One of the oldest and wealthiest families in Malton, the Curton family made its fortune during the Industrial Revolution, providing iron and coal for virtually all of northern England. The progenitor of this family line, Mortimer Curton, was known to be very secretive about his wealth and had invested huge amounts of money in governmental ventures, private industries, and even colonial endeavors.

Through the next several generations, the family grew, as did their wealth. Richard Curton, the great-grandson of Mortimer, took the family’s power one step further by becoming Mayor of Chancelwood, serving for over 20 years. During this time, the family also secured numerous plots of land in the city, leasing the land to various businesses and amassing political clout at the same time.

Through two world wars and numerous businesses transactions, the Curton family has remained a fixture in Malton. The most recent heir to the Curton fortune and occupant of Curton Mansion, Aleister Curton, was responsible for the construction and leasing of Curton Mall, one of Malton’s most successful retail locations. He was also a member of the board of directors of NecroTech.

Aleister was rumored to have a great interest in occult matters. He traveled extensively, visiting countless locations of occult and esoteric significance. His collection of rare books and arcane objects was considered unparalleled. This prodigious library was not discovered after Aleister Curton's unexplained disappearance.
