Sons of Aquinas

The Sons of Aquinas are a major multi-regional private military based in the city of Targe, within The Verge. The mercenaries draw their name from the Creed's god of war, Aquinas, but have no affiliation with the Creed.

The Sons of Aquinas have a highly bureaucratic organization including a corporate hierarchy with various divisions. The combat division is one of these, called the "Division of Military Application". Within that division lies an entire army structure with titles ranging from General to Major to lowly Private. With a reputation for being highly professional and efficient, the SOA are one of the most powerful private military contractors in all of Tirrenor.

However, the Sons of Aquinas were largely decimated in The Crimson Mountains campaign. After being mobilized by one of their leading investors, Mikael Asterius, they took place in the Battle for Stoneshade and Asterius' failed coup. Additionally, the main base camp in Targe was heavily damaged and looted by followers of The Chasm in their coup d'etat of the city. After these losses, the Sons of Aquinas' reputation was permanently damaged, and the company downsized dramatically. There current operations are unknown.

Activities prior to The Crimson Mountains (546 ACR)
Thane Kain Kallistratos II hired the SOA to battle barbarians who had been orchestrating attacks on mines and villages throughout Blackwall Hold, to some controversy. Their job was to defend villages and mines while also investigating those responsible for the attacks and preventing a widespread uprising.

The SOA set up a regional base camp outside the city of Stoneshade, and were led by Colonel Rhys Sighard, officially the "Regional Operations Director".
