Sometimes in 2052, Kryuger received a visit from his acquaintance [[Griffin Lyons]], who asked him to retire and create a private military company named Griffin and Kryuger, staffed with armed civilian [[Tactical Doll]]s purchased using the financial backing of [[Rossartrism|a mysterious group]] interested in promoting T-Dolls for the paramilitary market. Griffin would keep a share of the profits but relinquish all management decisions to Kryuger, trusting that their interests would naturally align.

This close partnership let Kryuger provide direct data feedback about T-Dolls efficiency to IOP's main R&D subcontractor, Hermit (in reality a shell corporation used by IOP to protect its employees Persicaria and [[Lycoris]] from their former colleagues of [[90WISH]]). G&K's collaboration was instrumental in further improving T-Dolls<ref name=Files2G /> and meant that IOP was willing to occasionally take back dolls from G&K to return them to the civilian market.<ref name=Glossary /> G&K was later hired by IOP's competitor [[Sangvis Ferri]] to escort Lycoris to their underground research facilities, after the scientist decided to leave Hermit. Kryuger accepted only if SF would share Lycoris' future results with him.

Despite working under the purview of the Ministry of Defense and the Neo-Soviet Union's official stance against the promotion of [[Rossartrism]], G&K openly used the Rossartrist slogan.<ref>{{cite|rc|[[Secret Documents#Speculation on the Decline of Religions]]}}</ref>


Aside from IOP, G&K also benefited from the support of [[KCCO]]'s [[General Carter]], a former superior of Kryuger who exerted his influence to provide G&K with better quota of maximum T-Doll employment numbers, smuggle weapons and organize media blackouts. In exchange, Kryuger handed Carter data about Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls, which Carter could use to further his own interests by developing more powerful military androids and secure his place within the New [[Soviet Union]] military.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]], Chapter 8-1</ref> This secret partnership eventually led to G&K being chosen as KCCO's scapegoat for their own plans involving {{enemy name|Elisa|boss}}.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]], Chapter 9-3</ref>

G&K officially began to take security contracts in 2055, quickly gaining reputation as a PMC. In 2060, G&K directly requested IOP to integrate [[Neural Cloud]] technology into their T-Dolls, becoming a standard. The same year, multiple G&K branches were attacked under unknown circumstances and several high-ranking human employees were killed, but not Kryuger himself.<ref name=Timeline />

[[Helian]] joined G&K in 2054 as Kryuger's adjutant.<ref name=milli /> Some time during her first year on the job, an extremely stressed out Helian led out a team of first generation T-Dolls on a supply recovery mission in a contaminated area, a difficult mission for early-gen Dolls that other PMCs expected her to fail, and prove that Dolls mercenaries were not viable. The mission was a success,<ref name=PR510>{{cite|gfl|pr|Darkest Decline 1010}}</ref> and G&K officially began to take security contracts in 2055, quickly gaining reputation as a PMC.<ref name=Timeline />
 
In 2057, 16 attacks were conducted by child soldiers against G&K bases. Through G&K's connections with IOP and [[16LAB]], Persica realized the attackers were clones of [[Lunasia]] and made scans of their brains for her research. The attacks stopped shortly after Persica acquired the scans.<ref>{{cite|gfl|13-5}}</ref><ref name=C84E>{{cite|gfl|8-4E}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|sc|Infinite Connections}}</ref><ref>{{cite|sc|Confidential Information VII}}</ref> In 2060, G&K directly requested IOP to integrate [[Neural Cloud]] technology into their T-Dolls, becoming a standard.

[[File:BG Story 1-6 A.jpg|thumb|G&K Dolls interrogating {{enemy name|Scarecrow|boss}} to find [[AR Team]].]]
In 2062, one year after the [[Butterfly Incident]] where Lycoris was killed and Sangvis Ferri dolls turned against mankind, the weakened G&K took up the contract to keep Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls within Sector 09. Six months into the contract,<ref name=Timeline /> the PMC was in desperate need of extra personnel to face SF forces and urgently recruited a new batch of human commanders, among them [[the Commander]].<ref name=Timeline /><ref name=Glossary />
In 2062, the year after the Butterfly Incident, the weakened G&K took up the contract to keep Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls within Area S09.<ref name=Timeline /> The contract, issued by the Neo-[[Soviet Union]] military, stated that G&K's main force would focus on protecting wealthy areas within their jurisdiction, while expeditionary units would operate in SF territory<ref name=C24 /> and provide support for military units on case-by-case basis.<ref>{{cite|gfl|1-4N}}</ref> G&K was given little intel on SF and the reason of the Doll uprising.<ref name=C24>{{cite|gfl|2-4}}</ref>
 
Six months into the contract,<ref name=Timeline /> the PMC was in desperate need of extra personnel to face SF forces and urgently recruited a new batch of human commanders, among them [[the Commander]].<ref name=Timeline /><ref name=Glossary /> The Commander first operated under [[Helian]]'s command in order to identify the cause of a recent increase in SF attacks harming G&K's reputation,<ref>{{cite|gfl|1-2}}</ref> which led to the recovery of [[AR Team]]. Due to their performance, Helian added the Commander to G&K's Tactical Reserve, a pool of outstanding employees used to handle urgent missions.<ref>{{cite|gfl|1-2E}}</ref>
 
During the retrieval of AR Team, G&K learned about SF's Plan [[Parapluie]] and Kryuger called a task force of commanders to a secret base near Area S09 to mount a counter-operation, but the base was located and attacked by SF<ref>{{cite|gfl|5-1}}</ref> to try and kill Kryuger, due to {{doll name|ST AR-15|AR|4}} having been infected with the Parapluie virus. The assassination failed, the SF forces retreated and AR-15 escaped to retaliate against SF alone,<ref>{{cite|gfl|5-6}}</ref> causing major losses for G&K in the battle.<ref>{{cite|gfl|5-1E}}</ref> A counterattack was mounted nevertheless,<ref>{{cite|gfl|5-4E}}</ref> with [[Squad 404]] being contracted to assist in a counter-jamming operation<ref>{{cite|gfl|cube|E1-1}}</ref> dubbed Operation Cube.<ref>{{cite|gfl|cube|E1-4}}</ref> The counterattack was called off after massive convergence of SF troops were detected<ref>{{cite|gfl|6-4}}</ref> due to the arrival of the Sangvis Mastermind. Area S08 was lost in the retreat, further harming G&K's reputation.<ref>{{cite|gfl|7-1}}</ref>
 
Some time after Plan Parapluie, G&K scored a long-awaited victory against SF during Operation Hypothermia, when AR Team's rescue mission in Area S03 led to the capture of a {{enemy name|Jupiter Cannon}} and the enemy ringleader {{enemy name|Architect|boss}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|aw|E3-4}}</ref> Carter however demanded faster progress on the recovery of Lycoris' data, as next-gen military T-Doll development was key to keep his status through the upcoming reshuffling of the Neo-Soviet Union military command amidst the foundation of the [[Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition]].<ref name=C81 /> AR Team was deployed in a high-risk operation at SF's Base 0 in Area S02, during which they recovered Lyco's File 7 to meet Carter's demand but lost {{doll name|M16A1|AR|4}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|8-4E}}</ref>
 
At some point during the contract, SF tried to use biological weapons to destroy G&K.<ref>{{cite|gfl|8N}}</ref>
 
===KCCO Joint Operation===
In 2064,<ref name=SG2D4 /> with File 7 having revealed the location of Elisa's main computer cluster and thus the location of Sangvis Ferri's HQ in Area S09, Carter organized a joint operation with G&K to destroy the menace permanently. While Carter and Kryuger would handle general command and synchronization, [[the Commander]] and Captain [[Yegor]] would conduct operations in the field, with three special mixed squadrons of KCCO spec ops infantry and military T-Dolls assisting G&K T-Dolls as they captured Elisa. KCCO would provide high-tier active defense systems against the Parapluie virus.<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-5}}</ref> This would become G&K's most ambitious operation in its history,<ref name=C102>{{cite|gfl|10-2}}</ref> and Kryuger expected it would not last over three days due to the KCCO's brute force. The operation was announced to the press as a live-broadcast military exercise<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-1}}</ref> to display the benefit of cooperation with PMCs for security purposes, enabling the government to focus on redevelopment.<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-2}}</ref> In reality, the operation was a mean to accelerate the maturation of [[Elisa]] by bringing her in contact with {{doll name|M4A1|AR|4}}.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-3}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Queen's Gambit II}}</ref> Havier warned Kryuger during the press reception that Carter's goal was not to capture Elisa but to secure her [[OGAS]] system for his own plans to resist the integration of the NSU into the URNC.<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-2E}}</ref>
 
The operation started the same day,<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-3E}}</ref> with the Commander operating from a command post in the nearby Area S11.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-1}}</ref> Elisa recalled all SF troops once she noticed the unusual enemy movements<ref>{{cite|gfl|9-4E}}</ref> and began targeting logistics lines with artillery.<ref name=C102 /> While the KCCO troops served as vanguard, G&K Dolls were tasked to protect the interference neutralizers set up by the military on the way.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-4}}</ref> Trying to catch up with the military troops, AR Team was surrounded by SF troops commanded by {{enemy name|Judge|boss}},<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-5}}</ref> and Elisa attacked M4A1's Neural Cloud just as a G&K force led by {{doll name|Carcano M1891|RF|5}} and {{doll name|Carcano M91∕38|RF|5}} reinforced them.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-6}}</ref> A military squad led by Yegor then reached the encirclement and eliminated all SF and G&K Dolls except for M4A1.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-3E}}</ref>
 
===The Great Retreat===
[[File:BG Singularity 7.png|thumb|Military soldiers arrest [[Berezovich Kryuger|Kryuger]].]]
G&K command received reports that the command system had become infected with a new strain of Parapluie, causing G&K and military Dolls alike to attack friendly targets, and Helian ordered to withdraw all G&K troops from Area S09 to Area S11.<ref>{{cite|gfl|10-4E}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|dd|Imaginary Maze}}</ref> Due to the KCCO retreating at the same time, anti-Parapluie equipment was deactivated, causing further losses of G&K troops as they became lost in the Parapluie jamming,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Stroke Dead-Center I}}</ref> while the KCCO HQ stopped responding to G&K's communications. Dolls from other G&K tactical commanders involved in the battle managed to find their way to the Commander's base of operations in S11, but the status of their own commanders were unknown. Because the Parapluie jamming prevented new orders to be received from G&K HQ, the Commander dispatched {{doll name|MP7|SMG|5}} as a mule. Helian ordered to hold fast in S11 and rescue as many Dolls as possible from the battlefield.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Re-ignition I & II}}</ref> Several groups were rescued by Squad 404 and [[Task Force DEFY]], though their memories of their saviors had been deleted.<ref name=SG1C4>{{cite|gfl|sg|Re-ignition IV}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Promotion I}}</ref>
 
Meanwhile, Carter declared that Griffin & Kryuger had gone rogue and launched a terrorist attack on the KCCO troops during the exercise, causing the arrival of more military troops to capture the PMC for trial and take control of the region. Kryuger ordered G&K HQ to be evacuated, hoping that Carter would be satisfied with using him as a scapegoat and wouldn't be going after every G&K frontline base, and left Helian in command of the PMC.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Re-ignition III}}</ref> Military personnel then arrested Kryuger on various charges including weapon trafficking and illegal modification of civilian Dolls. Carter respected the wish Kryuger had once shared with him and did not charge him with terrorism.<ref name=SG1C4 /> Over three hours after Kryuger's arrest,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Queens Gambit II}}</ref> the G&K forces were attacked by {{enemy name|Gager|boss}}, who used her own troops and reinforcements from {{enemy name|Agent|boss}} to cut their retreat, but offered to let them through if they told her where to find Architect. At that time,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Minor Pieces Draw I}}</ref> a new electronic attack from Elisa took down all electronic communication on the battlefield,<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Castling II}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Minor Pieces Draw II}}</ref> preventing every Doll from receiving new orders. Using Gager's sudden loss of control over her troops, G&K personnel hastened their retreat using voice communication<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Minor Pieces Draw III}}</ref> and Elisa ordered Agent to conduct an attack to destroy the G&K troops. Agent nearly killed the Commander before [[Angelia]] offered to arrange an encounter between M4A1 and Elisa if she spared them.<ref name=SG2D4>{{cite|gfl|sg|Minor Pieces Draw IV}}</ref>


===In exile===
In exchange, Angelia requested the Commander's help to hold back the KCCO troops and give DEFY time to capture Elisa.<ref name=SG32 /> The Commander went deeper in the field, leaving [[Kalina]] to direct the retreat while fending off the KCCO troops.<ref name=CTGZ>{{cite|gfl|ct|Ground Zero}}</ref> By that point, the battle had been going for a full day<ref name=SG32>{{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort II}}</ref> and the last G&K troops on the field were the ones under the Commander,<ref name=CT2>{{cite|gfl|ct|Unknown Enemy}}</ref> assisted by the [[Heavy Ordnance Corps]] airdropped by IOP.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|ELID-Infected}}</ref>  When the capture failed, DEFY detonated a [[Collapse bomb]] to counter the military troops.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|Last Resort V}}</ref> Both civilian settlements<ref>{{cite|gfl|12-3}}</ref> and G&K positions were hit, but the Commander survived in a safe house.<ref name=CTGZ /> A few hours later, [[Paradeus]] troops attacked the S11 command post<ref name=CT2 /> but were pushed back and the G&K troops evacuated to a temporary HQ by air.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|Black Doll}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|12-5}}</ref> A few Dolls stayed behind to rescue Angelia and the Commander, but the latter was captured by Paradeus.<ref>{{cite|gfl|ct|White Doll}}</ref>
G&K suffered a massive blow when the [[KCCO]] turned against them in 2064 and Director Kryuger was arrested under false charges. G&K nevertheless continued to operate under Helian's command, as per Kryuger's wishes.<ref>[[Singularity]] 1C3 & 1C4</ref>
 
The G&K Dolls would come to call the events of the Area S09/S11 battle “the Great Retreat”.<ref>{{cite|gfl|[[Bookshelf of Memories]], Becoming a Star, Priceless Sincerity}}</ref> All of G&K's long-range transport vehicles, especially the helicopters used for sorties, were lost in the battle.<ref>{{cite|gfl|11-1E}}</ref>
 
===Exile===
[[File:BG Story 13-3E 1.png|thumb|Surviving Dolls from the Paldiski Submarine base battle.]]
Nine weeks after their capture,<ref name=CTGZ /> [[the Commander]] was rescued by the G&K Dolls led by Kalina and [[Squad 404]] during a raid against the Paradeus base they were held in, and settled in the temporary base provided by IOP. Due to the massive transfer of confidential data Angelia had made to them in case she died in battle, the Commander became a person of interest to [[Statesec]], who decided to enlist their help with clandestine work rather than have them executed.

===Operation Marduk===
[[File:BG Poincare Recurrence 4.png|thumb|The Assimilated [[Sangvis Ferri]] T-Dolls assisting [[the Commander]] in Berlin.]]
As part of their general offensive against PMCs guarding the borders of the Neo-Soviet Union during the [[Fireworks Incident]], the [[KCCO]] under General Carter's orders conducted Operation Marduk: late in the night, after a rockets strike, an elite military force was dropped by air on the Area S09 G&K base in order to destroy it with its Neural Cloud servers, and kill Helian and Kryuger. After digging Helian out from the debris of the initial strike, Kryuger assumed command of {{doll name|Thompson|SMG|5}}'s Frontline Combat Team to meet the enemy at the gates of the base while Helian organized the evacuation. With {{doll name|GSh-18|HG|3|costume=costume1}} in charge of damaged Dolls, {{doll name|NTW-20|RF|6|costume=costume4}} tasked with breaking through the electronic blockade and {{doll name|Welrod MkII|HG|6|costume=costume4}} conducting assets evacuation and denial,<ref name=PR51>{{cite|gfl|pr|Darkest Decline 1}}</ref> Helian convened with Persica to urgently evacuate the Neural Cloud servers. With support from attack helicopters, the KCCO forces broke through the base's defense, and Welrod sacrificed herself to enable the other Dolls to survive the battle in the ammunition warehouse.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|Darkest Decline 11}}</ref> Only 50% of the Dolls survived the initial assault.<ref name=PR510 />
 
With the Neural Cloud backups perilously compressed into a single heavy and cumbersome server,<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|Darkest Decline 1010}}</ref> the Dolls retreated in the underground levels of the base's factory.<ref name=PR510 /> While all other PMC bases had fallen in minutes, G&K's Area S09 base, where no surface structures were left standing, had still inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers and mounted a successful underground resistance, pushing Carter to reallocate assault teams from other fronts to eliminate Kryuger and ensure G&K's destruction. After another 50% of the defense force was downed defending sub-level 1, Kryuger assigned heavily wounded Dolls to the defense of Helian, Persica and the server, and left the rest of the survivors to decide whether to join the escort or the combat team. To his surprise, all able Dolls chose, even reluctantly, to make a last stand in sub-level 2<ref name=pico>{{cite|gfl|pr|Endgame Chaos pico}}</ref> while the escort team would retreat to sub-level 4. However, the elevators were stopped when the KCCO troops cut the power in the base and wounded Kryuger, leaving Helian in charge.
 
While the rest of the defenders would retreat with Kryuger, {{doll name|Tokarev|HG|3}}'s team of volunteers would remain in sub-level 2 to delay the attackers and restore power to the base.<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|Endgame Chaos nano}}</ref> Just as their sacrifice brought back power, bomber planes<ref name=milli>{{cite|gfl|pr|Endgame Chaos milli}}</ref> sent with [[Mikhail Tsvigun]]'s authorization<ref name=pico /> wiped out the attackers on the surface, and Helian led the remaining Dolls to flush out the enemies remaining in the base.<ref name=milli /> The surviving G&K personnel was transported by IOP to Germany,<ref>{{cite|gfl|pr|Endgame Chaos Tera}}</ref> taking part in the [[Battle of the Dead Sea]].
 
===Disbandment and reorganization===
When the [[URNC]] was established in 2064 and the Neo-Soviet Union was incorporated in it, G&K had become an powerful organization due to its large number of T-Dolls and close cooperation with [[IOP]]. With the stabilization of global affairs, the URNC took action against powerful PMCs, including G&K, leading to its disbandment and reorganization into a smaller PMC of strictly controlled size, under [[Helian]]'s command.<ref name=website /> [[Kalina]] and [[Kryuger]]<ref name=GF241>{{cite|gfl2|SL-4-1}}</ref> joined the URNC's Non-Military Forces Administration and some of their T-Dolls were reassigned to White or Green Zones. Some T-Dolls went their own way, and [[the Commander]] joined the many former PMC members who became bounty hunters.<ref name=website>[https://gf2exilium.sunborngame.com/main GFL2 official website]</ref>
 
The downsizing of G&K forced Helian to rely on cheap [[Automaton]]s incorporating the now public domain [[Sangvis Ferri]] tech, and get involved in shady contracts. This led G&K automatons to oppose [[the Commander]] during their involvement with [[Helena]].<ref name=GF241 />

==Life at the base==
Most G&K Dolls are procured through IOP,<ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|KSVK|RF|5|costume=costume3}} Neural Upgrade story 1}}</ref> but a few of them are bought from other sources. Regardless of how they joined G&K, they receive a salary and holidays like human employees.<ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|C96|HG|4|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade story 2 (C96 receives full employee benefits despite being one of the few G&K T-Dolls who have been bought)}}</ref> Most of them spend it on their hobbies, in activities in the towns outside the base, or on food and drinks at Springfield's cafe.

While all Dolls can potentially participate in direct combat, not all of them are regularly deployed. The [[Base Overview]] assigns Dolls to the Frontline Combat Team and Response Combat Team, but also to the Border Surveillance Corps, Integrated Logistic Department and T-Doll Club. Some act as a reserve force while others patrol the region or help run the base, and even the ceremonial guards at Griffin HQ can be Dolls. Dolls can request to change job.<ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|Mosin-Nagant|RF|5|costume=costume2}} Neural Upgrade story 2 (Mosin-Nagant is temporarily transferred to HQ as a ceremonial Doll)}}</ref><ref>{{cite|gfl|{{doll name|Galil|AR|4|costume=costume1}} Neural Upgrade story (Galil tries jobs outside the Frontline Combat Team)}}</ref> Aside from their day job, some Dolls also have side gigs, like {{doll name|GSh-18|HG|3}} and {{doll name|Type 4|RF|4}} who are published manga artists.
 
Grifchan is an anonymous forum website for G&K employees moderated by G&K command, where they can discuss and share gossips. {{doll name|MDR|AR|5}} is an avid user of it. G&K also often organize events for employees to relax and deepen their friendship.
 
A G&K Doll can receive a [[Tactical Doll#Neural Upgrade|Neural Upgrade]] either by being selected by [[the Commander]] as a reward for good performances and the will to grow past their limits, to solve a dangerous issue with their body or neural cloud, by submitting an application to be approved or by paying for the upgrade with their own money.

==Trivia==
*The griffin is often used as a symbol of nobility, courage and military might. Meanwhile, “Kryuger” is a variation of the German surname “Krüger”, meaning a tavern-keeper or potter. The two parts of the company's name are opposed in status, much like the roles of its two founders.

Griffin and Kryuger Private Military Company and Security Consultant Company[Note 1] (克鲁格和格里芬军事承包与安全顾问服务公司)[1] or Грифон & Крюгер (Grifon & Kryuger) in Cyrillic,[2][3] usually called Griffin (格里芬) or G&K (“GK”),[Note 2] is a private military company founded in 2053 by former Ministry of Internal Affairs officer Berezovich Kryuger and Rossartrist agent Griffin Lyons, and is the main protagonist faction of Girls' Frontline. Griffin's headquarter is in the fictional location of Endfyld[4] (Эндфилд, also written Endfield or Endshire), at 279B Verkhovnoi Rady Boulevard,[Note 3] Ploshad 4 (Площадь 4),[3][5][Note 4][Note 5] most probably within the Neo-Soviet Union in Eastern Europe. It has additional branches in Glasgow, Vladivostok, Konya and Dijiang (帝江).[4]

G&K is known for mostly employing Tactical Dolls and has been an important sponsor of IOP and 16LAB, directly influencing several design decisions in their T-Dolls standards. By Kryuger's preferences, all Griffin T-Dolls are designated by the weapon they use in combat.[6] Due to restrictions on PMC equipment, G&K T-Dolls cannot use weapons manufactured within the last 50 years,[7] which can lead to some issues when restocking ammo.[8] After the Butterfly Incident of 2061, G&K was put in charge of destroying the rampaging Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls in Area S09. This is where the player takes the role of the Commander in Girls' Frontline.

G&K strives to be, as their motto says, “the shining beacon in a brave new world”.[9][10]

History[edit]

Founding[edit]

Berezovich Kryuger was a former member of the Soviet Army and Ministry of Internal Affairs who participated in the rescue and escort operation of scientist Persicaria as a tactical commander during World War Three.[1] Kryuger had witnessed many deaths during his military career and wanted to dedicate his later years to less destructive purposes, like protecting populations lacking government protection.[11]

Sometimes in 2052, Kryuger received a visit from his acquaintance Griffin Lyons, who asked him to retire and create a private military company named Griffin and Kryuger, staffed with armed civilian Tactical Dolls purchased using the financial backing of a mysterious group interested in promoting T-Dolls for the paramilitary market. Griffin would keep a share of the profits but relinquish all management decisions to Kryuger, trusting that their interests would naturally align. Kryuger's reputation would also attract military veterans to command the T-Dolls and his connections would enable him to get early contracts from the Soviet military. While Kryuger was reluctant to use T-Dolls at first, he accepted since this would also let him work with his friend Persica[12][Note 6] and would save money compared to hiring humans soldiers.[Note 7][1]

Despite working under the purview of the Ministry of Defense and the Neo-Soviet Union's official stance against the promotion of Rossartrism, G&K openly used the Rossartrist slogan.[13]

Early years[edit]

G&K developed good relations with T-Dolls manufacturer IOP. Kryuger and IOP's director Havier Witkin maintained good personal relations[1] and Kryuger himself took an interest in the development of Second Generation T-Dolls.[14]

One of the 16 Lunasia clones responsible from the 2057 attacks.

This close partnership let Kryuger provide direct data feedback about T-Dolls efficiency to IOP's main R&D subcontractor, Hermit (in reality a shell corporation used by IOP to protect its employees Persicaria and Lycoris from their former colleagues of 90WISH). G&K's collaboration was instrumental in further improving T-Dolls[1] and meant that IOP was willing to occasionally take back dolls from G&K to return them to the civilian market.[15] At some point, IOP even designed a batch of T-Dolls especially for G&K.[16] G&K was later hired by IOP's competitor Sangvis Ferri to escort Lycoris to their underground research facilities, after the scientist decided to leave Hermit. Kryuger accepted only if SF would share Lycoris' future results with him. G&K's influence as a partner prevented Witkin from seeking retribution against Lycoris.[1]

Aside from IOP, G&K also benefited from the support of KCCO's General Carter, a former superior of Kryuger who exerted his influence to provide G&K with better quota of maximum T-Doll employment numbers, smuggle weapons and organize media blackouts. In exchange, Kryuger handed Carter data about Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls, which Carter could use to further his own interests by developing more powerful military androids and secure his place within the Neo-Soviet Union military.[17] This secret partnership eventually led to G&K being chosen as KCCO's scapegoat for their own plans involving Elisa.[18]

Helian joined G&K in 2054 as Kryuger's adjutant.[19] Some time during her first year on the job, an extremely stressed out Helian led out a team of first generation T-Dolls on a supply recovery mission in a contaminated area, a difficult mission for early-gen Dolls that other PMCs expected her to fail, and prove that Dolls mercenaries were not viable. The mission was a success,[20] and G&K officially began to take security contracts in 2055, quickly gaining reputation as a PMC.[14]

In 2057, 16 attacks were conducted by child soldiers against G&K bases. Through G&K's connections with IOP and 16LAB, Persica realized the attackers were clones of Lunasia and made scans of their brains for her research. The attacks stopped shortly after Persica acquired the scans.[21][22][23][24] In 2060, G&K directly requested IOP to integrate Neural Cloud technology into their T-Dolls, becoming a standard. The same year, multiple G&K branches were attacked under unknown circumstances and several high-ranking human employees were killed, but not Kryuger himself. In late 2061,[14] G&K lent a contingent of T-Dolls to Statesec to conduct Operation Butterfly,[25][26] which failed disastrously and became the Butterfly Incident, where Lycoris was killed and Sangvis Ferri dolls turned against mankind.[14]

Against Sangvis Ferri[edit]

G&K Dolls interrogating Scarecrow to find AR Team.

In 2062, the year after the Butterfly Incident, the weakened G&K took up the contract to keep Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls within Area S09.[14] The contract, issued by the Neo-Soviet Union military, stated that G&K's main force would focus on protecting wealthy areas within their jurisdiction, while expeditionary units would operate in SF territory[27] and provide support for military units on case-by-case basis.[28] G&K was given little intel on SF and the reason of the Doll uprising.[27]

Six months into the contract,[14] the PMC was in desperate need of extra personnel to face SF forces and urgently recruited a new batch of human commanders, among them the Commander.[14][15] The Commander first operated under Helian's command in order to identify the cause of a recent increase in SF attacks harming G&K's reputation,[29] which led to the recovery of AR Team. Due to their performance, Helian added the Commander to G&K's Tactical Reserve, a pool of outstanding employees used to handle urgent missions.[30]

During the retrieval of AR Team, G&K learned about SF's Plan Parapluie and Kryuger called a task force of commanders to a secret base near Area S09 to mount a counter-operation, but the base was located and attacked by SF[31] to try and kill Kryuger, due to AR ST AR-15ST AR-15ST AR-15 having been infected with the Parapluie virus. The assassination failed, the SF forces retreated and AR-15 escaped to retaliate against SF alone,[32] causing major losses for G&K in the battle.[33] A counterattack was mounted nevertheless,[34] with Squad 404 being contracted to assist in a counter-jamming operation[35] dubbed Operation Cube.[36] The counterattack was called off after massive convergence of SF troops were detected[37] due to the arrival of the Sangvis Mastermind. Area S08 was lost in the retreat, further harming G&K's reputation.[38]

Some time after Plan Parapluie, G&K scored a long-awaited victory against SF during Operation Hypothermia, when AR Team's rescue mission in Area S03 led to the capture of a Jupiter Cannon and the enemy ringleader Architect.[39] Carter however demanded faster progress on the recovery of Lycoris' data, as next-gen military T-Doll development was key to keep his status through the upcoming reshuffling of the Neo-Soviet Union military command amidst the foundation of the Union of Rossartrism Nations Coalition.[17] AR Team was deployed in a high-risk operation at SF's Base 0 in Area S02, during which they recovered Lyco's File 7 to meet Carter's demand but lost AR M16A1M16A1M16A1.[40]

At some point during the contract, SF tried to use biological weapons to destroy G&K.[41]

KCCO Joint Operation[edit]

In 2064,[42] with File 7 having revealed the location of Elisa's main computer cluster and thus the location of Sangvis Ferri's HQ in Area S09, Carter organized a joint operation with G&K to destroy the menace permanently. While Carter and Kryuger would handle general command and synchronization, the Commander and Captain Yegor would conduct operations in the field, with three special mixed squadrons of KCCO spec ops infantry and military T-Dolls assisting G&K T-Dolls as they captured Elisa. KCCO would provide high-tier active defense systems against the Parapluie virus.[43] This would become G&K's most ambitious operation in its history,[44] and Kryuger expected it would not last over three days due to the KCCO's brute force. The operation was announced to the press as a live-broadcast military exercise[45] to display the benefit of cooperation with PMCs for security purposes, enabling the government to focus on redevelopment.[46] In reality, the operation was a mean to accelerate the maturation of Elisa by bringing her in contact with AR M4A1M4A1M4A1.[47][48] Havier warned Kryuger during the press reception that Carter's goal was not to capture Elisa but to secure her OGAS system for his own plans to resist the integration of the NSU into the URNC.[49]

The operation started the same day,[50] with the Commander operating from a command post in the nearby Area S11.[51] Elisa recalled all SF troops once she noticed the unusual enemy movements[52] and began targeting logistics lines with artillery.[44] While the KCCO troops served as vanguard, G&K Dolls were tasked to protect the interference neutralizers set up by the military on the way.[53] Trying to catch up with the military troops, AR Team was surrounded by SF troops commanded by Judge,[54] and Elisa attacked M4A1's Neural Cloud just as a G&K force led by RF Carcano M1891Carcano M1891Carcano M1891 and RF Carcano M91∕38Carcano M91∕38Carcano M91∕38 reinforced them.[55] A military squad led by Yegor then reached the encirclement and eliminated all SF and G&K Dolls except for M4A1.[56]

The Great Retreat[edit]

Military soldiers arrest Kryuger.

G&K command received reports that the command system had become infected with a new strain of Parapluie, causing G&K and military Dolls alike to attack friendly targets, and Helian ordered to withdraw all G&K troops from Area S09 to Area S11.[57][58] Due to the KCCO retreating at the same time, anti-Parapluie equipment was deactivated, causing further losses of G&K troops as they became lost in the Parapluie jamming,[59] while the KCCO HQ stopped responding to G&K's communications. Dolls from other G&K tactical commanders involved in the battle managed to find their way to the Commander's base of operations in S11, but the status of their own commanders were unknown. Because the Parapluie jamming prevented new orders to be received from G&K HQ, the Commander dispatched SMG MP7MP7MP7 as a mule. Helian ordered to hold fast in S11 and rescue as many Dolls as possible from the battlefield.[60] Several groups were rescued by Squad 404 and Task Force DEFY, though their memories of their saviors had been deleted.[61][62]

Meanwhile, Carter declared that Griffin & Kryuger had gone rogue and launched a terrorist attack on the KCCO troops during the exercise, causing the arrival of more military troops to capture the PMC for trial and take control of the region. Kryuger ordered G&K HQ to be evacuated, hoping that Carter would be satisfied with using him as a scapegoat and wouldn't be going after every G&K frontline base, and left Helian in command of the PMC.[63] Military personnel then arrested Kryuger on various charges including weapon trafficking and illegal modification of civilian Dolls. Carter respected the wish Kryuger had once shared with him and did not charge him with terrorism.[61] Over three hours after Kryuger's arrest,[64] the G&K forces were attacked by Gager, who used her own troops and reinforcements from Agent to cut their retreat, but offered to let them through if they told her where to find Architect. At that time,[65] a new electronic attack from Elisa took down all electronic communication on the battlefield,[66][67] preventing every Doll from receiving new orders. Using Gager's sudden loss of control over her troops, G&K personnel hastened their retreat using voice communication[68] and Elisa ordered Agent to conduct an attack to destroy the G&K troops. Agent nearly killed the Commander before Angelia offered to arrange an encounter between M4A1 and Elisa if she spared them.[42]

In exchange, Angelia requested the Commander's help to hold back the KCCO troops and give DEFY time to capture Elisa.[69] The Commander went deeper in the field, leaving Kalina to direct the retreat while fending off the KCCO troops.[70] By that point, the battle had been going for a full day[69] and the last G&K troops on the field were the ones under the Commander,[71] assisted by the Heavy Ordnance Corps airdropped by IOP.[72] When the capture failed, DEFY detonated a Collapse bomb to counter the military troops.[73] Both civilian settlements[74] and G&K positions were hit, but the Commander survived in a safe house.[70] A few hours later, Paradeus troops attacked the S11 command post[71] but were pushed back and the G&K troops evacuated to a temporary HQ by air.[75][76] A few Dolls stayed behind to rescue Angelia and the Commander, but the latter was captured by Paradeus.[77]

The G&K Dolls would come to call the events of the Area S09/S11 battle “the Great Retreat”.[78] All of G&K's long-range transport vehicles, especially the helicopters used for sorties, were lost in the battle.[79]

Exile[edit]

Surviving Dolls from the Paldiski Submarine base battle.

Nine weeks after their capture,[70] the Commander was rescued by the G&K Dolls led by Kalina and Squad 404 during a raid against the Paradeus base they were held in, and settled in the temporary base provided by IOP. Due to the massive transfer of confidential data Angelia had made to them in case she died in battle, the Commander became a person of interest to Statesec, who decided to enlist their help with clandestine work rather than have them executed. Director Zelinski promised payment, intel and, in time, the rehabilitation of Griffin & Kryuger and liberation of Kryuger from prison in exchange for this work.[80] In the following months, the Commander operated under Statesec orders in Belgrade, Tallinn and Paldiski, with logistics and financial support from IOP[81][82][83] and WAVE.[84] At Paldiski, their forces took over 95% losses while successfully preventing the KCCO to take the military base.[85]

Meanwhile, Havier plotted to break Kryuger out of prison.[86] A team of G&K commanders and their Dolls successfully conducted the mission with some losses,[87] and Kryuger returned to the Area S09 base at the same time as the Commander.[88] There, he offered them a Green Zone ID to leave G&K and find a more peaceful life, but they rejected the offer.[87] While restoring the hundreds of Neural Cloud backups from destroyed Dolls into new bodies,[88] G&K also entered a partnership with Svarog Heavy Industries to capture the Sangvis Ferri Dolls now roaming the region without their leaders[89] while Persica moved her lab to S09 to analyze the Paradeus assets recovered at Paldiski.[90] In September 2064,[91] the Commander was sent to Germany to assist Griffin Lyons and Angelia with their investigations,[92] and requested reinforcements to be sent. This left the base vulnerable[93] without its contingent of Assimilated force[94] as only 50% of S09's forces had been rebuilt[95] with Persica's help.[96]

Operation Marduk[edit]

The Assimilated Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls assisting the Commander in Berlin.

As part of their general offensive against PMCs guarding the borders of the Neo-Soviet Union during the Fireworks Incident, the KCCO under General Carter's orders conducted Operation Marduk: late in the night, after a rockets strike, an elite military force was dropped by air on the Area S09 G&K base in order to destroy it with its Neural Cloud servers, and kill Helian and Kryuger. After digging Helian out from the debris of the initial strike, Kryuger assumed command of SMG ThompsonThompsonThompson's Frontline Combat Team to meet the enemy at the gates of the base while Helian organized the evacuation. With HG GSh-18GSh-18GSh-18 in charge of damaged Dolls, RF NTW-20NTW-20NTW-20 tasked with breaking through the electronic blockade and HG Welrod MkIIWelrod MkIIWelrod MkII conducting assets evacuation and denial,[94] Helian convened with Persica to urgently evacuate the Neural Cloud servers. With support from attack helicopters, the KCCO forces broke through the base's defense, and Welrod sacrificed herself to enable the other Dolls to survive the battle in the ammunition warehouse.[97] Only 50% of the Dolls survived the initial assault.[20]

With the Neural Cloud backups perilously compressed into a single heavy and cumbersome server,[98] the Dolls retreated in the underground levels of the base's factory.[20] While all other PMC bases had fallen in minutes, G&K's Area S09 base, where no surface structures were left standing, had still inflicted heavy casualties on the attackers and mounted a successful underground resistance, pushing Carter to reallocate assault teams from other fronts to eliminate Kryuger and ensure G&K's destruction. After another 50% of the defense force was downed defending sub-level 1, Kryuger assigned heavily wounded Dolls to the defense of Helian, Persica and the server, and left the rest of the survivors to decide whether to join the escort or the combat team. To his surprise, all able Dolls chose, even reluctantly, to make a last stand in sub-level 2[99] while the escort team would retreat to sub-level 4. However, the elevators were stopped when the KCCO troops cut the power in the base and wounded Kryuger, leaving Helian in charge.

While the rest of the defenders would retreat with Kryuger, HG TokarevTokarevTokarev's team of volunteers would remain in sub-level 2 to delay the attackers and restore power to the base.[100] Just as their sacrifice brought back power, bomber planes[19] sent with Mikhail Tsvigun's authorization[99] wiped out the attackers on the surface, and Helian led the remaining Dolls to flush out the enemies remaining in the base.[19] The surviving G&K personnel was transported by IOP to Germany,[101] taking part in the Battle of the Dead Sea.

Disbandment and reorganization[edit]

When the URNC was established in 2064 and the Neo-Soviet Union was incorporated in it, G&K had become an powerful organization due to its large number of T-Dolls and close cooperation with IOP. With the stabilization of global affairs, the URNC took action against powerful PMCs, including G&K, leading to its disbandment and reorganization into a smaller PMC of strictly controlled size, under Helian's command.[102] Kalina and Kryuger[103] joined the URNC's Non-Military Forces Administration and some of their T-Dolls were reassigned to White or Green Zones. Some T-Dolls went their own way, and the Commander joined the many former PMC members who became bounty hunters.[102]

The downsizing of G&K forced Helian to rely on cheap Automatons incorporating the now public domain Sangvis Ferri tech, and get involved in shady contracts. This led G&K automatons to oppose the Commander during their involvement with Helena.[103]

Tactical Commanders[edit]

Because of the particularity of G&K troops being T-Dolls, the main factor of recruitment for human commanders isn't professional training or experience, but being able to pass a psychological evaluation dedicated to measuring interpersonal compatibility with T-Dolls, and general traits of character like patience, courage and loyalty.[14] Human orders are necessary for a T-Doll to take action, so commanders are truly the brain of any G&K deployment, and a prime target for the enemy.[15]

The standard uniform of G&K commanders is a knee-long military coat with pouches, collar and cuffs, gold buttons, a red exterior and a black interior, a golden insignia on the right shoulder and a large black belt with side straps. A white shirt and black tie is worn under the coat, with black pants and shoes and a red beret with a bronze G&K insignia. High-ranking officers Helianthus and Berezovich Kryuger wear variations of this uniform.

Members[edit]

For the assignment of each Doll at the Area S09 base, read Organization Overview.

Griffin & Kryuger also employs human personnel for various tasks such as Doll maintenance.[109][110] They are seldom mentioned in the game but can be seen in Girls' Frontline: Doll's Song.

Life at the base[edit]

Most G&K Dolls are procured through IOP,[111] but a few of them are bought from other sources. Regardless of how they joined G&K, they receive a salary and holidays like human employees.[112] Most of them spend it on their hobbies, in activities in the towns outside the base, or on food and drinks at Springfield's cafe. G&K provides dorms for the employees and pays for the basic expenses of life at the base including ammo and cafeteria food as long as they fit a certain quota.[113] Depending on the branch they are working for, Dolls may select assignments they want to participate in on a first-come-first-served basis and follow no set schedule,[110] or be selected for specific assignments.[114] Unless they are provably related to a work injury,[115] repair costs are deducted from the Doll's salary.[116][117][118]

While all Dolls can potentially participate in direct combat, not all of them are regularly deployed. The Base Overview assigns Dolls to the Frontline Combat Team and Response Combat Team, but also to the Border Surveillance Corps, Integrated Logistic Department and T-Doll Club. Some act as a reserve force while others patrol the region or help run the base, and even the ceremonial guards at Griffin HQ can be Dolls. Dolls can request to change job.[119][120] Aside from their day job, some Dolls also have side gigs, like HG GSh-18GSh-18GSh-18 and RF Type 4Type 4Type 4 who are published manga artists.

Grifchan is an anonymous forum website for G&K employees moderated by G&K command, where they can discuss and share gossips. AR MDRMDRMDR is an avid user of it. G&K also often organize events for employees to relax and deepen their friendship.

A G&K Doll can receive a Neural Upgrade either by being selected by the Commander as a reward for good performances and the will to grow past their limits, to solve a dangerous issue with their body or neural cloud, by submitting an application to be approved or by paying for the upgrade with their own money. (The upgrades performed on the main characters of AR Team, Squad 404 and Task Force DEFY are ad-hoc modifications rather than an official process.)

Trivia[edit]

  • The griffin is often used as a symbol of nobility, courage and military might. Meanwhile, “Kryuger” is a variation of the German surname “Krüger”, meaning a tavern-keeper or potter. The two parts of the company's name are opposed in status, much like the roles of its two founders.

Notes[edit]

  1. ↑ Translated “Griffin and Kryuger Private Military Contractors and Security Consultation Center” in Secret Documents#Speculation on the Decline of Religions.
  2. ↑ “Griffin and Kryuger” was previously mistranslated “Griffin & Kruger”.
  3. ↑ Verkhovnoi Rady Boulevard (Бульвар Верховної Ради) is a road on the Eastern bank of Kyiv, in Ukraine (though the building numbers don't go up to 279 in current times). On this basis, notable fan account Girls' Frontline Logistics Group conflated Endfyld with Kyiv in their Griffin Travel Agency article about G&K.
  4. ↑ Площадь means area, living space or square in Russian depending on the context used. Some speculation exists on whether this is supposed to be the 'native' term for “Area” in the context of Girls' Frontline, despite Russian also having зона, область and сектор, which would mean G&K is headquartered in Area S04, unmentioned in the game. “Ploshad 4” appears on Stechkin's memento in Mystery of the Bewitching Figure, but it is mistakenly associated with “Dijiang”, a G&K branch.
  5. ↑ Materials before Dual Randomness (such as RF Mosin-NagantMosin-NagantMosin-Nagant's Neural Upgrade story) refer to Griffin HQ as separate from the base in Area S09, but the S09 base is treated as the main G&K base starting in Dual Randomness.
  6. ↑ Contradicting the second Confidential Files, the first set of files states that Kryuger left the Ministry after receiving payment for the mission involving Persica and used the money to start G&K.
  7. ↑ Contradicting later sources, the timeline in The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1 states that G&K's forces were human soldiers at first.
