These guards are mostly foot troops. The senior officers and men are as follows;

  1. Captain Gerald
  2. Lt Boric
  3. Lt Helana
  4. Sgt Oswald
  5. Sgt Coran
  6. Sgt Xavier
  7. Sgt Francoise

All of these 34 men and 6 women are mounted on good quality warhorses and have good quality arms and armour in good condition and well maintained. These 40 mercenaries are a mix of mounted Infantry and Cavalry (30/10) but all can form up as infantry at a moment's notice. These are well trained and capable troops.

These men formed into a mercenary company in 810WK when Gerald and his men were in the service of Lord Mervyn el Straten who was having some border issues with his neighbour Lord Ergvard de Reinhardt. They were fighting over control of a small area of lakes and hills in the northern part of Geisterholm (Aquila). These men and the rest of their 100 man company were ordered to kill an entire village as it was inconveniently placed during the dispute. Gerald and his men refused and were dismissed from Lord Mervyn's service and they departed northern Aquila and sought short term employment as mercenaries. They have undertaken a number of successful missions but their numbers have dwindled over the last 2 years with attrition and around 1/3rd of men returning home to be with their families.

Capt Gerald Montcalm is an experienced Mil Sci and both of his Lt's are competant as well.

They have 60 horses with them, 50 warhorses and 10 packhorses that carry their supplies and non-war equipment and they currently have a heavy wagon as well (as of Spring 813wk) – they can ditch the wagon in an emergency as the packhorses carry essentials as well while the wagon has stuff they can afford to lose and which won't hinder their ability to survive or fight.
