History[]
Luciano Vivero and his father founded the Vivero Cardinâlis Inc. in 3140 after absorbing few important other business that fell into a chaotic break down after the revelation of a corruption affair involving illegal drug money.
The Vivero family started to make a name for themselves by gathering funds to protect artists that were strongly opposing the Cygnus ruling in 3176. When the tensions started to get worst, they convinced a lot of other business to start an organisation managing mercenaries employment to protect their properties in Neo Cardinâlis.
That is at this point that the family started to invest in security.
When the Revolution started, they seized a lot of opportunity to take down their rivals and absorb their business in their corporation. While the rise of the family’s economical power was bloody, it was disregard by the population thanks to the massive donations to the Tai Minh Resistance and later to the 14 Red Dogs.
Esthetic[]
Employees of the Viveros always wear a beret of the Vivero Armani.
