History
Valiant was Incorporated in 1931 by a collective of unknown Kindred using manufactured identities during the span of time while Kindred were first beginning to merge into Human civilization. Throughout the 1930's Valiant established a wide-reaching Influence over the capital markets of the The United States of America by capitalizing on the market downturn caused by the Great Depression.
In its peak during the 1990's, Valiant had reached a point of prominence that established itself as one of the largest private corporations in the United States & granted them a great deal of political & public notoriety. In 1998, following a federally-commissioned investigation into the company's operations & holdings, Valiant was compelled to publish a public statement regarding Kindred involvement in its management & operations. In the wake of this announcement, The Grand Courts Proclamed a demand that the corporation assign 80% of it's class A shares to a court of its choice - a demand which Valiant promptly refused, earning them recognition as a Separatist faction from the courts & sparking a decades-long rivalry between the Authority of both organizations.
Following The Wall Street Skirmish in 2007, Valiant directed massive investment into Broadhead Securities Consulting, funding rapid growth that brought their chief subsidiary in the private security sector to become the largest private military company in the united states - providing the gold standard of protection against a new class of Magic warfare.
In 2014 Valiant Holdings Headquarters was subject to a raid in Operation Valiant Reckoning by Order of Auditors and with assistance by local & federal police organizations. Following the pursuit of two fleeing executives & their cohort through to the Queens Museum of Art, the Conjuration of The New Shroud sowed dissent & distrust among the international community & lead to a subsequent period of isolation that stagnated the investments of the corporation. In 2016, Valiant renewed its operations with renewed vigour & a new chairman, emerging once more as a capital leader in the United States.
