== Service History =====Formation===[[Berezovich Kryuger]] was a former member of the Soviet Army and [[Soviet Union#Ministry of Internal Affairs|Ministry of Internal Affairs]] who participated in the rescue and escort operation of scientist [[Persicaria]] as a tactical commander during [[World War Three]].<ref name=Files2G /> 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.<ref name=NPC>{{cite|ab1|NPC}}</ref>

Prior 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 Butterfly Incident, Griffin was mainly involved financial backing of [[Rossartrism|a mysterious group]] interested in promoting T-Dolls for the paramilitary affairs, such as law enforcement, as well as providing security consultationmarket. Following Butterfly, as Griffin would keep a result share of the actions of 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<ref>{{cite|cf2|Finale}}</ref><ref>Contradicting the second [[Sangvis FerriConfidential Files]] born from , the first set of files states that Kryuger left the Ministry after receiving payment for the mission involving Persica and used the incident, money to start G&K began increasingly involving itself in fending off .</ref> and suppressing any potential Sangvis incursions into neighboring sectors (and potentially threaten civilian lives)would save money compared to hiring humans soldiers.<ref>Contradicting later sources, at the behest timeline in [[The Art of the New Soviet UnionGirls' Frontline Vol.1]] states that G&K's forces were human soldiers at first.</ref> G&K developed good relations with T-Dolls manufacturer [[IOP]], Kryuger and IOP's director [[KCCOHavier Witkin]]maintained good personal relations<ref name=Files2G /> and Kryuger himself took an interest in the development of Second Generation T-Dolls.<ref name=Timeline>{{cite|ab1|Timeline}}</ref>

In this environmentThis close partnership let Kryuger provide direct data feedback about T-Dolls efficiency to IOP's main R&D subcontractor, the latest commander Hermit (the player) is positioned in Sector 09, reality a shell corporation used by IOP to begin protect its employees Persicaria and [[Lycoris]] from their trainingformer 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= History =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>{{cite|cf1|The Second Generation of Tactical Dolls}}</ref>

Following Aside from IOP, G&K also benefited from the official end support of the Third World War in 2051[[KCCO]]'s [[General Carter]], the recovering governments a former superior of Europe faced civil unrest born out Kryuger who exerted his influence to provide G&K with better quota of the weakened de facto control of their statesmaximum T-Doll employment numbers, smuggle weapons and organize media blackouts. In this environmentexchange, various PMCsKryuger handed Carter data about Sangvis Ferri T-Dolls, born out of the war, took up peacekeeping contracts issued which Carter could use to further his own interests by these governments, as to maintain civil stability. Berezovich Kryuger himself was a veteran of the Third World War, developing more powerful military androids and secure his place within the lessons and experiences learned would influence the direction and ethos of Griffin and KryugerNew [[Soviet Union]] military.<ref>{{cite|gfl|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>{{cite|gfl|9-3}}</ref>

Griffin itself would be formed G&K officially began to take security contracts in 20532055, following Berezovich Kryuger's departure from the New Soviet Union's Ministry of Internal Affairsquickly gaining reputation as a PMC. Having successfully commanded the rescue and escort operation involving former [[90wish]] member [[Persica|Persicaria]] during his time at the MinistryIn 2060, he used the payment he received to start the PMC. IOP's relationship with G&K was established early on, Kryuger having maintained a good personal relationship with its CEO, directly requested IOP to integrate [[Harvey Welkin|Havier WitkinNeural Cloud]]. Kryuger would be very keen on using dolls due to civilian-sector [[technology into their T-Doll|Tactical Dolls]] being much cheaper than human mercenaries, becoming a standard. The same year, multiple G&K branches were attacked under unknown circumstances and to minimize several high-ranking human casualties as much as he couldemployees were killed, but not Kryuger himself.<ref name=Timeline />

== Notable NPCs =Against Sangvis Ferri==={{Incomplete|reason=Add Girls' Frontline story}}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 nevertheless continued to the player commander* [[Helianthus]] - high-ranking officer* [[Berezovich operate under Helian's command, as per Kryuger]] - head of Griffin's wishes.<ref>{{cite|gfl|sg|1C3 & 1C4}}</ref>

== Trivia Tactical Commanders==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.<ref name=Timeline /> 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.<ref name=Glossary>{{cite|ab1|Glossary}}</ref>

== Notes 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.
