Villains For Hire, Inc.


 * If you were looking for the story of a similar title, see Villains For Hire.

Villains For Hire, Incorporated is a small Crookharbor-based company of bounty hunters and mercenaries. Founded by Rodr33 and co-owned by his brother Rodr11, the company was established on February 27th, 2015, and gained continent-wide attention after initiating a spree of raids and robberies across Antarctica. Following their short-lived week of fame, the villains started working primarily as bounty hunters, taking opportunities to be hired by other companies or evil organizations.

Despite their history of larger-scale group missions, the members of Villains For Hire, Inc. often operate individually and accomplish missions on their own following their capture and escape, though they do occasionally reunite to complete missions as a whole team if required to. The villains are headquartered in one of Crookharbor's many alleyways, hidden behind a poorly disguised entrance proudly boasting their company name.

First Escapades
The formation of the company took place in late February of 2015, by the only two members at the time, Rodr33 and brother Rodr11, but quickly expanded to four members in the coming days. While initially they went unrecognized and unnoticed in the world of crime and villainy, their initial misadventures in hopes of earning money and fame made them better known and more recognized.

Members

 * Rodr33 - The founder and leader of the group, Rodr33 is a former EPF agent-turned-villain who went rogue sometime around 2013. A very dangerous member of the team, Rodr33 designs almost all of the company's plans, and often includes dangerous amounts of explosive material.
 * Rodr11 - Rodr11 is the brother of Rodr33. An aspiring bounty hunter, he is often seen by his brother as a sort of assistant or pawn to execute his plans. Despite this, Rodr11 likes to think of himself as more of a co-partner due to how many jobs he juggles on behalf of the company, and is usually irritated whenever he's referred to as a henchman.
 * BONK-1 - Originally an invention designed by lead S.H.A.R.K. scientist Crash Test, BONK-1 is a robot who serves as a calculator, translator, and a weapon of mass destruction all at the same time. BONK-1 is regarded as the most logical and smartest member of the group, though his computers are incredibly vulnerable to hacking from outside sources.
 * Scythe - Scythe is a fast and well-trained ninja, although he's a somewhat unwilling member of the group. Once a Card-Jitsu trainee, Scythe grew fed up of the game's unfairness, and quit the game while he was at purple-belt rank. He later stole a ninja suit and dyed his ninja mask to match his purple belt.
 * Draco Cypher - Draco is a puffle, belonging to a rare crimson-coloured variant species very scarcely seen in public, let alone in the wild. Originally working in the southern Asiapelagoan, Puffish and Austiceian regions, Draco, like all other crimson puffles, has the unique ability to transform himself into a steel-like metal, which he has decided to use for his own benefit. Even more rare considering his origins, Draco also has the ability to talk.
 * Crabbe the Snapper - Often mistaken for a cute, harmless little crab with a tiny yellow starfish stuck to him, Crabbe the Snapper is a well-trained fighter, excellent hacker and master escapist. The crab has bested numerous martial arts fighting styles (believed to be where he earned his name, "Snapper"), worked for years with computers and eluded capture several times. Snapper's size is both an advantage and disadvantage, as he is small, usually underestimated, and can escape capture quickly, but is also too small to do certain tasks (can't operate some weapons properly). Nevertheless, he is one of the most valued members of the team, and is likely the most dangerous.

Relations

 * Businessmun Enterprises - The villains were once employed by Octavius Businessmun to execute a museum heist in exchange for a large sum of cash during one of their very first missions. Although the villains succeeded in the stealing several priceless art pieces, they flopped in the escape, and were almost immediately captured by the Elite Penguin Force under the leadership of Agent Tux. The villains haven't spoken to Businessmun about the incident since their capture, nor did they receive their money, but Businessmun's silence on the topic likely indicates they're not on good terms.
 * S.H.A.R.K. - S.H.A.R.K. Supreme Leader Wikipenguino X has called upon the Villains For Hire for missions on numerous incidents, usually asking for BONK-1's help specifically. The Shadow War slightly changed their formerly good partnership, as Wikipenguino X and the rest of S.H.A.R.K. abandoned BONK-1 along with some other hired bounty hunters during a joint mission, leaving their fate up to the EPF. Although BONK-1 was still paid, survived, and returned to headquarters, he doesn't trust S.H.A.R.K. as much as the other members of the team do anymore.
