New page

The '''Rocinante Group''' is a security and intelligence think-tank run by '''[[Shadowborn Lord|Lord Lee Geddy]]'''. It was first mentioned in the two-part '''"[[Limelight]]"''' story in the '''"[[Guardians of the Dawn Spotlight]]" series'''.

= History =

The Rocinante Group was first founded by Lord Geddy's father in the late 1940's during the rise of [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Red_Scare#Second_Red_Scare_.281947.E2.80.9357.29 Anti-Communist hysteria] in the United States. This gave the elder Lord Geddy the opportunity to transform the family's title of ''"Margrave of Niagra"'' into a worthy role by convincing the US Government to investigate its own people under their own watchful supervision.

The elder Lord Geddy drafted plans to create a network of intelligence agencies that would spy on American orgnizations, including religious groups, political factions, the military, superhero groups, and the media. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/FBI#The_FBI_and_national_security FBI Director J. Edgar Hoover] initially signed on to this idea, but it was eventually shot down for lack of an effective mechanism to monitor the various groups.

When Lee Geddy inherited the title of ''Margrave'' and control of the organization, he was able to initiate his father's plan using a new and growing business at the time known as "[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Information_broker Information Brokerage]". Combined with dying Cold War fears and the new [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/War_on_Drugs War on Drugs] (and the subsequent [http://www.cityofheroes.com/game_info/history/paragon_city_other_worlds_disc.html War on Superadine]), the US Government once again found themselves eager to embrace Lord Geddy's plan. And thus through the merging public and private interests, the clandestine organization known as [[Shadowborn]] was created.

Currently the organziation accounts for over eighty percent of the information brokered through various private agencies. They coordinate between public and private groups to share detailed information when needed so corporations, private investigators, and police departments will know every aspect of a person's life.

In 2006, Lord Geddy announced that the Rocinante Group would be moving their data collection facility to Paragon City. A building was secured in [[Perez Park]] mostly out of annonymity.

Following the destruction of the Space Shuttle Cygnus, and the mystery surrounding his son, [[StarCygnus|Major Hank Geddy]], Lord Geddy announced that he would also be moving the corporate headquarters from Niagra to Paragon City.

The Rocinatne Group is a listed non-profit organization in Canada and the United States, although it is believed their annual operating revenue is in the billions.
