Elite Drow mercenary company and trading group, founded and led by Jarlaxle Baenre, mainly working out of Menzoberranzan and Luskan.
Composed of renegade Drow, and led by the often outrageous and larger-than-life Jarlaxle Baenre, a now house-less noble and now the Open Protector of Luskan. The company's base of operations remains in the Underdark but trades with the surface world through Luskan, the City of Sails.
They are often employed by House Baenre for dirty work, are known as exceptional smugglers between the surface and underdark, and are considered treasonous for their disrespect of the matriarchy and Lolth
They are known to frequent the inn and tavern called One-Eyed Jax, but employ Ship Kurth's base on Closeguard Island.
