Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: There is a structure that resembles some form of leadership and hierarchy, where most members are at the bottom and those who lead the organisation are at the top. They do have the authority and reserve rights to revoke membership. The Grand Dragon, created as a title to go with the de facto leader and obviously coming out from a tavern, has most of the power and the final say in its current leadership structure. There are senior chiefs, but they are small in number and are often appointed by the Grand Dragon or the Representative manually. Since the late 1510s, there has been a structural change, whereby there's now a temporary front company established officially where the Grand Dragon is the leader and that all of the gains, whether be from operating trade to handling loot will be directed to this organisation secretly. The Representative is the one who operates in the Westrian Netherlands and operates on a similar level as the Grand Dragon. The group's purpose is not exactly clear, having changed a lot over the past 20 years as of 1530. It is perhaps why historians seem to be intrigued but also forget about its existence.
 * Grand Dragon: Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480, office since 1502)
 * Head of the Company: Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480, office since 1515)
 * Representative of the Grand Dragon: Hubert Bodde (b. 1473, office since early 1510s)
 * Operator (Financier): Gert Rutters (b. 1499, office since 1530)
 * Senior Chiefs: Eight figures
 * Membership: 920 members, all of them are concentrated in Westrian Netherlands and based around Den Haag and the surrounding towns within a close range of no more than 20 kilometres. Most of the membership comes from secret meetings and invitations by word of select messengers. Slavokans (or Jews, the sentiment of antisemitism in Europe is still prevalent so its expected) are not accepted however. Women are technically allowed into the organisation but they are smaller in numbers compared to men. Since the operation was split into two, one based in Westrian Netherlands with a representative (Hubert Bodde) appointed to loyalty and continue the operations of Dragon's Fire in that area. The front company that's set up will secretly funnel any profits if available to this group, topping up on financial incentives. This is not known to anyone yet as the messengers and groups sent to Hispania were mainly seen as 'ordinary' Dutchmen.
 * The Tangelder Company: A front company that's set up for any conquistador-esque or mercenary purposes of the group. May be involved in trade too.
 * 300 men (based around the city of Atlantis, for now at least)
 * 50 other members who are in (Westrian) Netherlands
 * 4 transport ships
 * Diplomacy:
 * Hispania: hmmm...
 * Operations:
 * Wanka: (bruh see Sacking Wanka)
 * Events: (The lower caps events are hurting me)
 * In The Old World: The Dragon's Fire has hired the Operator after two years of searching for the role. With preparations of sending another division of the front company done, the newly acquired transport ship is sent towards the New World. Like the first trip, there would be some deaths along the way. Training and arming them is mostly done through the 1520s, usually in remote environments. They arrived from 1530 to 1532, so that means they are late to arrive and so would mainly miss out on the conquest. However, the group that Tangelder is leading is late but still around with enough time to at least assist them in some form.
 * Sacking Wanka: As soon as Hispanians arrive later than expected, Tangelder and his group of army would move within weeks of travel, finding out that news had come quickly. They carry out tasks that were minor and would be a mark in history. Even at the age of 55 by 1535, Tangelder would finally witness everything around the New World in his life, though he won't be coming back home just years after being granted his wishes of getting into the New World. He and his group of mercenaries in the front mercenary company visited the sacked settlements and occasionally encounter Wankans fighting Hispanians or on his own. Traps saw few of his men dying of agony. But this is it. (The next stage has begun)
 * A Fair Share: However, there are many Hispanian conquistadors that perform better than the ageing army led by Tangelder. Being (somewhat) part of the force, they are expected to share it among the thousands, if not tens of thousands more from Hispanian conquistadors, which brings the share of that down to less than what Tangelder expected, getting at least few pounds of treasure per standing man. However, as a mercenary leader at least, this somehow pays off what would happen next in Tangelder's adventure...
