Family History.
The Machado family has humble beginnings as their farthest back traceable ancestor was the proud head of a small group of cutthroats for hire in the city-state of Hallonq. The band of cutthroats slowly grew into a more reputable company after a few passing years, eventually taking up work as official mercenaries. The head of the family, otherwise known as Glauco Machado, opted to use his ever so steadily growing wealth to move his assets and base of operations to the Kingdom of Lusits, more specifically, Portimao. Eventually, in the year of 236 A.C., Glauco settled down with a woman named Filipa Henriques, siring five children. Three boys, and two girls. Marquinhos, Nicodemo, Alberto, Nelinha, and Luizia. Brothers Marquinhos and Nicodemo took on the task of keeping the cutthroat culture of Lusits people prevalent within their family, and had brutally murdered their father Glauco to take up the family assets. A phenomenon, known as Daendroque Succession. Marquinho later turned on Nicodemo further, killing him and seizing the power of the family in it's entirety. Afterwards, he took up the family business, and rapidly expanded it over the course of three decades, owning a company of approximately one thousand men of assorted backgrounds, though with a prevalence of practitioners from the Schools of Mariposa and Blackmark. Nelinha and Luizia were married off for favorable family ties in Portimao, more particularly so to avoid suspicion of their usual illicit deals.
Eventually, Marquinho sired children of his own. His first wife died from giving birth to the twins, Amancio and Pio. Marquinho wasted no time remarrying, as he had no love for his first wife. Soon after, his daughter Rosalita was born. The family was quiet for a good while, merely managing their business and eventually marrying off Rosalita. Marquinho died due to his own son, Amancio, poisoning him, the one house head finally kicking the bucket on March 14th, 294 AC. Yet another case of Daendroque Succession. Amancio, now in charge, decided to leave his wife and married-off siblings in Daendroc, moving a large portion of the family to Regalia, believing the Crown City could help expand his business, finally arriving at August 12th, 296 AC.

The Family Holdings.
The Machado Family has a good bit of property, including a plot of twenty six acres within the Capital of Lusits, which holds approximately three forges, a small warehouse for storage of military goods, a facility for the housing and management of the two companies of mercenaries under their employment, and to top it off, the house estate, which is home to the majority of the family that is not within Regalia.
The Family Business.
As mentioned before, the Machado family has two companies of mercenaries under their employment, which they 'rent out' for use to the highest bidder, whether it be personal guards, duty in small scale or large scale conflicts, or just the common beatdown. Along with the mercenaries, they have a smaller investment within the production of military goods, particularly arms and armor, with very few requests of other sorts of military surplus.
