== Overview ==
[[File:Fairfax crates.png|thumb|177x177px|Fairfax crates]]
Fairfax Industries is a company in the occult industrial complex that specialises in spirit weaponry,<ref>[[The Binding of Oathkeeper|''The Binding of Oathkeeper'']] - [https://youtu.be/nn_C9nQ_Ri0?si=6cs58-OAfPAPdCdc&t=804 Chapter 4A]</ref> headed by [[Maximilian Fairfax]].<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_seasonal_headline_04.mp3|transcription=This month, Maximilian Fairfax made headlines after donating a small fortune to New York orphanages. When asked about his generous act, the CEO of Fairfax Industries replied: "No one should be without family on the holidays".}}</ref> As Maximilian's eldest heir, {{HeroIcon|Pocket}} was in line to inherit the company before an attempt was made on their life. Fairfax Industries is described as an "avarice-fueled viper's nest".<ref>{{BackgroundCite|name=Pocket|quote=Arin doesn’t know who is trying to keep them from taking control of their parent’s company... but in the avarice fueled viper’s nest that is Fairfax Industries it could be anyone.}}</ref>

They used to have sovereignty of the 50th state of the [[United States of America|US]], the island of Cadenza, which they are currently trying to regain.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_headline_78.mp3|transcription=The Supreme Court is poised to rule on the Fairfax Fair Tax bill next session. Will our 50th state remain in the union? Or will Fairfax Industries successfully regain its sovereignty over the island of Cadenza? Only time will tell!}}</ref> According to {{HeroIcon|McGinnis}}, Fairfax was calm during the "Cadenza situation", as he knew that legislation would eventually catch up to him. He's also proud for having created one of the United States. His employees at the time were "rattled", and McGinnis thought she would lose her job.<ref>[[McGinnis/Quotes#Conversations|McGinnis and Haze conversation]] - McGinnis: ''"Honestly, the rest of us were more rattled than he was. I was just a kid freaking out 'cause I thought I was going to lose my job but, Fairfax was surprisingly calm. I don't think he expected Cadenza to last forever. He just wanted to make the most out of an opportunity before legislation caught up. Plus, the guy gets to say he created one of the United States!"''</ref>

They are currently under sanction by the Environmental Protection Agency for improperly disposing of spiritual waste.<ref>{{VoiceLineCite|name=Newscaster|file=newscaster_headline_77.mp3|transcription=The EPA has issued another sanction to Fairfax Industries. Citing their improper disposal of spiritual waste was not just an affront to nature, but a threat to it!}}</ref>
