The Grey Company was formed by Niven Alarick Typhonus in the year 198 AC in the midst of the succession crisis in Calemberg begat by the fall of the House Cadar. With Lady Melissandre Cadar having no direct legitimate heirs, the once-unified Archduchy exploded into an internal turmoil after her untimely death, with each patrician and local minor house vying for control of their respective regions. Niven, being a prominent sellsword and son of a relatively wealthy local governor (who was rumored to have very close relations with the Lady Cadar), rallied numerous fellow sellswords, as well as a few mercenary companies, to his banner with the intention of seizing the City of Calemberg, the capital of the Archduchy. While the union was loose, unorganized and somewhat small (numbering from anywhere 600 to 1,130 men per estimation), Niven and his small mercenary army managed to storm the city gates and occupy the capital with very little resistance. Petitioning Emperor Handorien himself, Niven was granted formal control over the City of Calemberg and the surrounding province, as well as the title "Count of Calemberg," officially entering the House Typhonus into the ranks of the aristocracy. As a reward for their loyalty, Niven formalized the position of the Grey Company in Calemberg law, authorizing them as the personal retinue army of the lord of Calemberg, additionally granting the members steady payment and barracks along the massive bastion walls of the city.
~Recent History~
Recently the Company has gone through a great number of iterations that have developed promising turnouts for the Typhonus family. The vigilant combatants, healers, and otherwise have been developed a certain connection with the noble house, unlike most noble houses, Typhonus highly respects their soldiers and mercenaries. Now, with the recent renovations with the Typhonburg estate, the barracks have yet again opened under Reinhardt Typhonus, a man that is bred from soldier blood himself. Son of a Viridian Paladin, and experienced swordsmen, Reinhardt has instilled a sense of comradery amongst his ranks.
As for the role The Grey Company plays in day-to-day activity. They are responsible for protecting House Typhonus, and also are led on contracts from the state and other houses to fend off whatever requested of them. To say the least, the company never falls short in things to do. Daily training is put in place, formations, events, and otherwise come to the planning that goes on behind the curtains. Now, The Grey Company is seated with lodging within one of the spires in the Typhonburg estate, ample training room, and a direct connection to House Typhonus- as well as their pay which is disclosed, but rumors spur that it is considerably more than any bartender, or normal laborer makes.
