The B.I.R.D.S (Breach, Infiltration, Reconnaissance, Defense, Special-Ops)

Status:

• Leader(s): Yevdokiya Sokolov & Tamer Ashraf

• Base of Operations: Kushva, Russia & Alexandria, Egypt

• Alignment: Neutral

• Purpose: As a mercenary group their main purpose is to execute client wishes, whether that be a high stakes military operation, political assassination, or security detail. Money is their main motive, and members' morals are often dubious at best.

Description:

Established by the daughter of an international terrorist and a former military man, the BIRDS have always strived for excellence. Yevdokiya and Tamer were both victims of terrorism and the BIRDS was created to handle terror agencies. At first they were a small, elite six person strike team. Then they grew. Yevdokiya brought in more lost souls that believed in the cause.

Unfortunately, fighting terror doesn’t always pay enough. The BIRDS transferred from their original goal towards a larger, overarching mission. They expanded into security detail first, and then basic reconnaissance missions. Now the BIRDS, though still secretive, are a more well known group with a multitude of some of the best trained mercenaries in the world. Their main base in Kushva is used to house and train new recruits and as a main medical unit. Cairo is where business deals usually take place, as it’s far more public.

Membership:

Yevdokiya Sokolov: The mute daughter of a once infamous terrorist, Yevdokiya is one of the founders of the BIRDS. She handles much of the training and medical aspect of the BIRDS. Severe scarring covers most of her body. Married to Tamar.

Tamar Ashraf: A charismatic, typically easy going former El-Sa’ka member. After deserting from the military he helped found the BIRDS with Yevdokiya. He handles a lot of the business side of their organization but still attends certain operations. Married to Yevdokiya.

Resources:

They have a multitude of different kinds of guns available to use supplemented through other private organizations & militaries. Almost all guns are custom made or edited for their members.

They also have an arsenal of explosive devices, smoke grenades, flashbangs, etc.

They have two Boeing helicopters they use, as well as a Sukhoi Su-35 fighter jet.

“The Coop”

Located in Kushva, Russia, The Coop was once the mansion of Konstantin Sokolov. After his imprisonment in Kolyma Correctional Facility, Yevdokiya inherited the mansion and transformed it into the military compound it is today. Although the house still stands, it’s now outfitted with a state of the art medical wing, aircraft hangar, shooting range and multiple other facilities.

“The Birdhouse”

Located in Cairo, Egypt, The Birdhouse is the smaller of the two facilities. In a non conspicuous location, it boasts elegant architecture and a welcome nature. It has an inhouse restaurant and bar, with a few small back rooms for members to rest in and officer spaces. For luxury guests The Birdhouse is also equipped with rooftop pool.
