Company History[]
Jerard DeSirrus created The Blackwater Company over 16 years ago after serving a short amount apart of the Blackwater Raiders. ((Formed in Vanilla))
The Blackwater Company was formed as a mercenary and trading company with some strong ties to a darker side of business. As the company grew it began to acquire ships from the Kul Tiran people being a group that was not limited by Alliance rules. The company was founded on the belief that anyone can turn opportunity into business from dockworkers to mercenaries.
With the ever changing times, all companies must re-evaluate. This was no different with The Blackwater Company. When discussed the idea of reforging the business, the talk brought forth a new fire of life within the crew of the ships in the fold of Blackwater. Today; reforged, renewed, and reinvested shortly describe the air that surrounds the business today under The Blackwater Company as the owner Jerard is joined by a former founder Persefani, now made co-owner. They work together to bring about new trade and commerce opportunities to those interested along with a number of third party logistics offerings for the right amount of gold.
Welcoming any with a need for opportunity, change, and coin the business is ever growing.

Company Hierarchy[]
Below is the Blackwater Company Structure, representing the business beyond what is represented in the game but also our fanon. Below is to be treated as a hierarchy along with a chain of command. We are not a military order, so we are not going to be super strict on this, but we also cannot have everyone doing their own thing and expect the business (or guild) to succeed.
Examples:
- If a Captain is at a Blackwater harbor, they will not out rank the Harbormaster.
- If a Coin Guard is at the lands and needs to have blacksmith make something, they can put in an order for some things.
- We are all on a mission together, an Admiral gets the first crack at making a decision or soliciting ideas.
