The companymen are a group of former soldiers.  All veterans of the Conflict in The Democratic Republic Of Congo, but made up of members from all sides of the conflict.  They all had the unfortunate coincidence of being prisoners of local  Terrorist cell who had planned on ransoming them back to their home militaries.  When the ransom was refused by both the Americans and the EEC, they were to be tortured executed on film as a statement to the foreign powers, along with Sufi J'oran.  With one night before their execution, the group decided to work together and escape, overpowering their guards and killing their way out.

Grown extremely resentful of their governments, the group worked as mercenaries
in Africa, South America, Eastern Europe, and Southeast Asia before deciding to stop fighting other peoples wars altogether.  Instead they became thieves, using their military training and tactics to pull precision strategic jobs on banks, armored vehicles, jewelry stores, and anything else with high profit, easy to move merchandise.  Starting in Europe 14 months ago, they were responsible for a series on jobs along the Mediterranean coast then in Britain and France.  When the heat started coming down they came to the states, hitting the east coast first until a month ago when they switched to the west coast. 

They prefer to take jobs that hurt the governments of either the US or the EEC, they tend to not go after private businesses unless they have government contracts or holdings.   However if the money and plan are tight enough, they will do anything.

They also have no problem whatsoever with killing police or any other government employees. 

They use their military and paramilitary contacts to procure weapons and equipment for themselves.  All jobs are researched well in advance, with several contingency plans carefully laid out.  They have several off-shore accounts, and a web of contacts to move stolen goods.

The Companymen make their home aboard the Yacht "Sunday Morning".  All their gear is stored in hidden and shielded compartments underneath the boat below the waterline, as well as their loot.  The Yacht is registered under false ID's though the Companymen have full documentation verifying those ID's as their own.  The yacht boasts full scuba gear for each of them, as well as registered (to the same false ID's) Rifles and handguns to repel pirates (they NEVER use these weapon on a job).  In addition to the latest in military small arms, the Company also utilize South Am Conflict era U.S. surplus armor (SP:25 EV:-4 Helmet has built in radio, LL, AD, and Therm).
