The Patriots (Game Of Shadows)

The Patriots or also called Black Cross, is a PMC company and also the private army of John Guerra. They begun working as PMCs in the middle east, in countries like Iraq, Syria, Yemen, Qatar and even south american countries like Mexico, in which they were mostly bought by the military to provide back ups.

In 2016, the Patriots begun to grow more and more, having now a staff containing 800 members. Although they posed no threats, a rival company, used their influence in the US government to frame the Patriots as terrorists who were planning to develop a nuke.

After having defended themselves from the special unit Eishr, the Patriots were contacted by John who provided with Intel on their rivals and even supplied them with W54 nukes, who were found in South Africa, by two mercenaries who worked for John and thus for the Patriots. After having been supplied with nukes, the Patriots begun to grow even more, having now 3000 members.

During the five year timeskip, the Patriots begun to absorb four PMC companies, which made them one of the largest military of the world, having now 1 million soldiers. As they now were equipped with high tech gear, modern weapons and even nukes they now were in full war with many PMCs all over the world, as the Philosophers created wars all over the world, as it was their last resort to still earn money.

After destroying the PMCs who were supported by the Philosophers, the Patriots also fought a war against Genesis, the private army of former Patriot member Daniel Foster, also now known as Robert Kelly, who turned insane during the events of Civil War. After they defeated Genesis with the help of Sebastians private army, Inferno, they finally confronted the private army of the Philosophers, destroying them completely and ending their reign.

After every member of the Philosophers were killed, the Patriots and Inferno begun to rebuild countries all over the world, using the Philosophers money.
