Golden Chain

The Golden Chain Mercenary Company (also referred to as the Gold Chain Mercenary Company) is a high end company of mercenaries based in Port Damali and operating throughout the Menagerie Coast. It is the most sought-after, expensive, and efficient company in Wildemount.

Members can be identified by a gold chain around their necks and the hilts of their swords. They number around a couple of hundred, and have a reputation of being ruthless.

History
Founded about 775 PD by Quan Sabado in Port Damali, the the Golden Chain began as a group of unhappy zhelezo who bought out their contracts to become a bodyguard service for wealthy nobles and those traveling through pirate-infested waters. Ten years ago, their leader disappeared in Darktow. Since then, they haven't formally announced a leader, at least not one that is publicly known.

Membership
A few years before 836 PD, The Golden Chain had about two hundred members. Members are identified by a thick gold chain around their necks and a gold chain dangling from their swords wrapped around the hilts and connected to the pommel. It is unknown if these chains are actually made of gold or are plated or gilded to appear so. Joining the company are sworn to secrecy about the group's internal business.

Its members have a reputation for ruthlessness, lack of moral qualms, and zero tolerance for failure.
 * Quan Sabado, founder of the company and famed bounty hunter
 * Duos Sabado, son of Quan and leader of the company in 835 PD

Trivia

 * It is unclear if Duos Sabado is the leader of the company that Fjord recalled disappeared into Darktow or if Duos took over leadership after that person disappeared.
