The Second Sons
The Second Sons are an elite mercenary bodyguard unit, protecting the current president of the Liberty Security Corporation. Contrary to most Frisian units, the Second Sons are wrapped in a layer of secrecy uncommon for their culture. For many, the only exposure they have to the Second Sons is finding the group's Winged Skull insignia painted on the walls in a victim's blood.

History
The Second Sons are an elite force of Frisian mercenaries hired by the Liberty Security Corporation as bodyguards. When the LSC took control of Frisia they had the greatest success recruiting those Frisian males that stood to inherit the least from their fathers, the second/third/and fourth sons. The most loyal and violent of these were hired as the LSC president's personal bodyguards and hitsquad. Each LSC president since then has maintained the practice, using them to cement control over the association as a whole.
Historical loyalties
Second Sons are fanatically loyal to the LSC president, reveling in the wealth and power over others they never would have had access to back home. There is no record of any Second Son ever breaking this bond.
