The Horronian Guard

After seeing the decimation of the Ellyrian Guard in the War of the Six, even after all the coin her father had poured into it, it became clear that a standing army was not the worthwhile investment believed. And with the success of the Company of the Cat in contrast, especially with their role in preserving Ellyria Mopatis' power and defeating the Dothraki, Pentos has returned to using mercenaries to defend its lands. Alongside the East Essosi Trading Company's Chapter of Steel, who police Pentos' streets and ports.
However, there was a belief that House Mopatis still required a force beholden only to its head. No conflict of interests or divided loyalty to an outfit's captain. A small household guard pledged solely to House Mopatis, ostensibly charged with protecting its estates, vaults, and family members from any harm that may befall them. Hence the Horronian Guard. Though in truth, this guard is better described as a brutal legion of upjumped sellswords selected by the High Archon herself to carry out her bidding.
Since their conception, they have performed a wide variety of roles for the Princess of Pentos. Spearheading raids on merchants gaining too much influence too quickly. Arresting suspected Pentoshi seditionists in the dead of night. Personally enforcing the decrees of the High Archon that cause others to perhaps balk. With each being a veteran of one of Essos' many wars, their cost lay solely in pay and arms, which House Mopatis generously provides.
If one catches sight of their red tunics on the streets, it be best to turn the other way, as they are undoubtedly there carrying out orders on behalf of Pentos' self-proclaimed Freeholder. The Horronian Guard already becoming a feared among several of Pentos’ districts and held lands.
