Xiao family

The Xiao family is the leading political and business family in Wushan, and a major player in the politics of the Republic of Atlion. The Xiaos moved to Atlion during the mid-1700s leading the Chinese mercenary bands hired by the British Empire to harass the French and Dutch colonies on the island. Since then, the Xiaos led the formation of Wushan, and were critical to the state joining Atlion in 1795.
