The Riders

The Riders is an organization made of thieves, mercenaries, and soldiers of fortune. They are the enemies of The Legion of Thieves. Their name comes from the fact that each member owns a mount (a dragon, Pegasus, hippocampus etc.)

History
The organization was founded a year after the Legion of Thieves. The Riders was created by their founder, Nathaniel Sparrow, son of Hermes. Sparrow originally friends with Xaro Leitz and they founded The Legion of Thieves together. The Legion grew rapidly in the early years but trouble soon followed.

Nathan started taking on dangerous missions getting several members killed in the process. Over the next few months Xaro and Nathan engaged in frequent and violent arguments to the point where weapons were drawn. On the anniversary the Legion was founded, Nathan challenged Xaro for leadership, with half the Legion standing behind him. Xaro reluctantly accepted the challenge and defeated Nathan, banishing him and his followers.

Days after their banishment, the newly founded Riders attacked the Legion while Xaro was away. The Riders killed the remaining Legionnaires and stole the majority of the Legion's treasure, along with several powerful artifacts. For the next few years they laid low taking on secret contracts and building their forces.

Headquarters
Not much is known about he Riders' headquarters except that it is located on a small volcanic island located somewhere in Oceania. It can be guessed that the headquarters mirrors that of the Legion's. It is probably large enough to hold 20 plus members and their mounts.
