Lazarus

"Emile lazarus wanted to continue being a soldier, but not for the flailing US government.

Nelson katzadoulos's dream was to create a mercenary organization that could offer a variety of high quality services to the discriminating customer who wanted a little more for his money.

With an honored war hero as military coordinator, and a wealthy inheritor as silentpartner, the lazarus group was born."

The Lazarus Military Operations Group or Lazarus Group, is a megacorporation entirely focused on private military contracting with operations across the globe ranging from single operatives to entire armored divisions. As of 2020 the Lazarus Group is the largest and most successful military service organisation and with ever decreasing global stability and ever frequent corporate conflict that is only set to continue.

History
Nelson Katzadoulos, a wealthy inheritor, came up with the idea for the Lazarus group. Katzadoulos had remarked that the twenty-first century would need a mercenary organization that offered high-quality services for discriminating customers. His dream was to create a mercenary organization that could offer services of a much higher caliber than the mercenary companies or loaned-out corporate military services of his day.

Katzadoulos, knowing nothing about how to lead a military force, set out to find somebody who was able to. Emile Lazarus, a former Colonel in the U.S Army Special Forces and Medal of Honor recipient, was hired to lead the operations. His well-known name was also used to brand the corporation. Nelson Katzadoulos remained a silent partner, taking care of corporate finances.

In 2010, the first Lazarus training facilities were built. The first group of recruits to Lazarus consisted of 5000 trainees, who received eight weeks of training from experts in equipment and tactics. Throughout the 2010s, the Lazarus group expanded rapidly.

Throughout the 2010s, the Lazarus group participated in the following conflicts: In 2020, the Lazarus group is the largest specialty military service contractor in the world.
