"Beginning with the shockingly brutal public murder of acclaimed horticulturalist James Camurati, now believed to have ties to organized crime, by a shaman brazenly declaring "COYOTE DID THIS!"; the street carnage has claimed the lives of scores of bystanders and seen dozens of buildings destroyed.

"In the wake of the widespread property destruction, corporate holdings throughout the affected region have abandoned contracts with Lone Star Security Services; who have been unable to control the situation. Knight Errant has been quick to step in and exploit Lone Star's failure, negotiating terms and quickly moving to begin pacifying the area.

"Knight Errant, who replaced Lone Star as the Seattle Metroplex's law enforcement agency immediately following Governor Brackhaven's inauguration earlier this year, has quickly consolidated private obligations throughout the city and, with these recent deals, now provides security for 93% of the metroplex.
