Samuel Grey Feather (1949 - 2021)
Samuel Gris Diaz-Carmona, also known as "The Father of PMCs", was an immigrant along with his family to the United States from Spain, Samuel and his family were assigned the surname of "Feather" to better Americanize and suit the family's integration into the country. Samuel and his family grew up in the period of tension during the Cold War. Prior to the start of the Sino-Soviet War, Samuel was drafted at the age of 18 for active service in the United States Army, and provided combat support for Chinese resistance fighters against Soviet invaders in Northwestern China. Two brief tours and an honorable discharge later with the final rank of Staff Sergeant, Samuel became an entrepreneur and "private security organizer", considering his distaste for the Sino-Soviet conflict and disappointed that the thematic of the Cold War, that being conflict deterrence, should've prevented the war from flaring up in the first place. This set of opinions would soon change with the advent of the Proxy Wars.

Alongside his unit and several other trusted men within his company, Samuel formed the Grey Feathers, initially a local private security firm with a fair deal of military and gunsmith contacts in addition to licensing as a legal private security unit. The Grey Feathers' first jobs were particularly geared protecting transport trucks for high-profile banks and other low-key organizations moving valuable possessions.

The organization soon grew in national strength, numbers and fame by the 80s, with Samuel at its head planning for more international involvement. The SGF would commonly receive contracts from steel and oil companies across the globe for asset protection deals, and would pay very lucratively. The SGF would be wealthy enough by the end of the 80s to be able to fund its own Research and Development department for new equipment and weaponry to give its mercenaries an advantage over other PFs.

By the 90s, the SGF found itself being fielded by the United States government by way of operation leasing contracts. The employees within SGF found itself taking higher risks but with markedly higher pay than when they were fielded by corporations for simple asset security jobs, further fueling the coffers of the SGF.

By the war's end, his net worth was approximately $7.0 billion USD, and was declared Man of the Decade by TIME magazine in 2010.
