G&K is known for mostly employing [[IOP]] [[Tactical Doll]]s 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.<ref>Chapter 8-3E</ref> After the [[Butterfly Incident]] of 2061, G&K was put in charge of destroying the rampaging [[Sangvis Ferri]] T-Dolls in Sector 09. 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”.<ref>[[Girls' Frontline]], Chapters 1-1 & 9-1</ref>
== History ==
[[Berezovich Kryuger]] was a former member of the Russian [[Soviet Union#Ministry of Internal Affairs|Ministry of Internal Affairs]] and participated in the rescue and escort operation of scientist [[Persicaria]] as a tactical commander during [[World War Three]]. He left the Ministry after receiving payment for this mission and used the money to start G&K.<ref name=Files2G /> Kryuger had witnessed many deaths during his military career and wanted to dedicate its retirement to less destructive purposes and founded G&K in order to protect populations lacking government protection.<ref name=NPC>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], NPC</ref> G&K's forces were human soldiers at first, but quickly shifted to using armed civilian [[Tactical Doll]]s to spare human lives<ref name=Timeline>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Timeline</ref> and money. G&K developed good relations with T-Dolls manufacturer [[IOP]], Kryuger and IOP's director [[Havier Witkin]] maintained good personal relations<ref name=Files2G /> and Kryuger himself had an interest in the development of Second Generation T-Dolls.<ref name=Timeline />
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. G&K's influence as a partner prevented Witkin from seeking retribution against Lycoris.<ref name=Files2G>[[The Art of Girls' Frontline Vol.1]], Confidential Files, The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls</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 on 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. 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 />

G&K suffered a massive blow when the [[KCCO]] turned against them in 2063 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>
