Dragon's Fire

 * Leadership Structure: There is a leadership structure within Dragon's Fire. 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. 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 1540. It is perhaps why historians seem to be intrigued but also forget about its existence. The Operator is known to carry out financial operations of the organisation and handles most of the assets of the organisation.
 * Grand Dragon:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. [1549], office 1502 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502, office since 1542)
 * Head of the Tangelder Company:
 * Mechiel Tangelder (b. 1480 - d. [1549], office 1515 - 1542)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502, office since 1542)
 * Representative of the Grand Dragon:
 * Hubert Bodde (b. 1473 - d. 1536, office c. early 1510s - 1536)
 * Koen van der Wel (b. 1502, office since 1536) - thinking of abolishing this role
 * Operator (Financier): Gert Rutters (b. 1499, office since 1530)
 * Senior Chiefs: Nine figures
 * Membership: 950 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.
 * 320 men (I forgot to update the location but whatever)
 * 5 transport ships
 * (planning caravels)
 * Diplomacy: N/A
 * Operations: N/A
 * Events: (The lower caps events are hurting me)
 * Homecoming (Part 2/2): The return of the crew on 1541 finally gave the news of return. The gold that they have finally obtained was returned home, secretly. Though authorities are noticing, Dragon's Fire and the rest of the members have to quickly bring such gold and silver somewhere else, with all assets divided up into multiple places rather than putting all of it into a central place, since someone can just take it all. This means that senior chiefs and some members of the Company are going to keep it, though 85% of it must be kept under the hands of the organisation for future purchases.
 * The Founder of Dragon's Fire, Resigned: As Tangelder ages, the Grand Dragon resigned his leadership on 22nd May 1542 and went into obscurity. Since much of his adventures in the New World are over, the Representative of the Grand Dragon would usurp his position by agreement. This would ultimately end the representative position, however it is still titular by 1545. Koen van der Wel is seeking to abolish this role soon  and ultimately become just the Grand Dragon. The front company is still intact, but the new Grand Dragon is planning to use its funds to fulfil another mission: to colonise other lands. Caravels for protection are planned and so much more is yet to come... But it will take a long time for the second generation of leadership to prepare most of their members for colonisation.
