Scarlet Company
A freelance trading company that employs a diverse cast. Founded by Lord Marlowe Scott after the conclusion of the Seven Years War to create jobs for his men, most of whom had little work at the time. Initially, the Company had started out as a fur-trading company in Canada, but had proven themselves to be unfamiliar with the mercantile etiquette there. When Lord Scott had taken up residence at Red Meadow Mansion in Pennsylvania, the company would turn to lend its land for profitable crops and plantation partnerships - one of which includes the illustrious Mistress of New Essen, Charlotte von Hohenzollern. The company's range of work eventually grew, including, but are not limited to: short-term indentured servitude, market surveys, plantation investments, security details, and intelligence gathering.
