Stone Scorpions
"If you ever meet a man who scoffs at the idea of hiring a mercenary group and promptly letting them go wherever they please, ordering your own troops around, then you can be sure he has never had to fight the Stone Scorpions."
Structure
The Stone Scorpions maintain a standard military structure, along with its three founders handling decision making and whether the company accepts a contract. Its three founders each maintain a different role and responsibilities among the command, leaving them roughly equal in status.
Ignatios Arianr acts as High Commander, and acts as the commander in matters of command once battle has begun.
Apollon Ismini acts as High Strategist, directing the Stone Scorpion's towards the optimal locations to attack, defend, and routes to take. He is said to be a skilled wizard.
Demi Astraeas acts as High Tactician, and is tasked with planning troop formations, training, and planning immediately prior to battle.
They rarely take on new talent, and have an intense initiation and loyalty test.
Public Agenda
Victory to the highest bidder.
History
The Stone Scorpions are a fairly recently formed mercenary group that has quickly become well known for their uncanny ability to always be in the right place at the right time. They frequently defeat forces larger than their own through clever ambushes, or otherwise inflict massive damage on unsuspecting forces. More infrequently, they take unexpected strongpoints that turn out to be critical in upcoming battles.
Generally hired by kingdoms during formal war, the Stone Scorpions are afforded an unprecedented amount of autonomy for a mercenary corps, and even take command of armies at times. Despite their services going to the highest bidder, they stay true to their contracts and do not entertain swapping sides.
Agents of The Archives discovered that the Stone Scorpions achieved their military success using a Seer's Stone, and were secretly able to use the stone to track down Agent Moona's mother.
