[[Image:OrlockGanger.jpg|thumb|right|220px|House Orlock Ganger{{Fn|3c}}]]
The Orlocks, as house members are commonly known, are responsible for the production of the majority of the iron in Hive Primus, which has led to the house earning the sobriquet of "House of Iron". House Orlock also holds a monopoly of the convoys serving [[Ash Wastes (Necromunda)|Ash Wastes]] slag-heaps.{{Fn|1c}} Of all the clans, House Orlock has the largest influence over the Ash Wastes between the Hives.{{Fn|3a}} Besides their mining, House Orlock also oversees [[Wild Snake]] alcohol distilleries.{{Fn|3a}} The Orlocks' gang-dialect is know known as ''Road Slang''.{{Fn|9}}
The Orlocks have a longstanding rivalry with the mysterious [[House Delaque]] due to the Orlocks sabotaging a Delaque factory, which led to the Delaques losing a very lucrative business contract with the [[noble house]] [[House Ulanti|Ulanti]]. When the Orlocks got the contract instead, things only escalated, and the Delaques retaliated by assassinating Lord [[Hagan Orlock]]. The chances of either house burying the hatchet is infinitesimally small.{{Cite this}}
