Brotherhood of Bobs (B.O.B.)

The Brotherhood of Bobs (B.O.B.) is a private, covert organization founded by Bob Pendragon in 1989. Specializing in intelligence, secure transport, asset protection, and discreet disappearances, B.O.B. operates under the public-facing corporate front of the Nightingale Escrow Company. This legitimate business allows B.O.B. to provide services under the guise of a high-stakes escrow and secure transport service, protecting its members and clientele from scrutiny.

Each operative, known as a Bob, operates with a unique Bob Number for anonymity, handling missions for a wide range of clients, including government agencies, corporate leaders, and powerful private clients. B.O.B. is renowned for its strict confidentiality and ethical conduct, with a core emphasis on non-lethal conflict resolution.

The Brotherhood of Bobs is structured by experience and specialization, with operatives assigned Bob Numbers in the format BOB-####-X-Y, representing:

• ####: Unique ID number, assigned at recruitment.
• X: Paygrade (ranging from F for entry-level to A for top-level operatives).
• Y: Rank, with E indicating Entry-level and S for Senior agents.

The Bob of Bobs—currently Bob Pendragon—leads the organization, ensuring adherence to its code of conduct and ethical standards. All operatives are forbidden from using real names within B.O.B., relying instead on Bob Numbers for identification.

Key Rank Levels:

• Entry-Level Bob (E): New operatives trained in intelligence, secure communication, and non-lethal tactics.
• Field Agent (D to B): Skilled operatives experienced in reconnaissance, asset recovery, and undercover operations.
• Senior Operative (A): Elite agents handling high-risk missions, often acting as team leaders and training new recruits.

B.O.B. operates with a distinct code of ethics, balancing discretion and professionalism with a commitment to philanthropy. Its guiding principles include:

• Philanthropy: A significant portion of B.O.B.’s profits, particularly from high-stakes contracts, is directed to global humanitarian projects, with a focus on rebuilding infrastructure in war-torn areas.
• Non-lethality: All operatives are trained in non-lethal methods and are prohibited from using lethal force unless in immediate self-defense.
• Client Confidentiality: Client information is protected with the utmost discretion, and operatives are sworn to maintain confidentiality under all circumstances.

To maintain a legitimate presence, B.O.B. operates under the guise of the Nightingale Escrow Company. Based in major cities worldwide, Nightingale Escrow offers high-stakes asset protection, secure transport, and financial escrow services for high-net-worth individuals. This corporate front allows B.O.B. to operate publicly, ensuring its operatives have cover and providing a framework for handling mission-related logistics without drawing attention.

Through Nightingale Escrow, B.O.B. has established a reputation for reliability and discretion, attracting clients from the business, political, and private sectors. The Nightingale Escrow Company maintains all standard compliance and legal requirements for an international finance and security firm, adding to its legitimacy.

The Brotherhood of Bobs was founded by Bob Pendragon in 1989. Pendragon, with a background in logistics and security, envisioned an organization that could handle sensitive, high-risk situations with professionalism and confidentiality. Starting with a handful of trusted operatives, Pendragon built B.O.B. into a globally operating network of agents known for ethical service and philanthropy.

One of the Brotherhood’s longstanding alliances is with the Bidet Family, for whom B.O.B. has provided protective and intelligence services. This relationship has included supporting specific family members, like Kimothy Lee, a high-ranking operative tasked with safeguarding the family’s interests.

B.O.B. maintains a strict Code of Conduct, mandating that all members:

• Maintain Anonymity: Real names are strictly forbidden, and operatives rely solely on their Bob Numbers within the organization.
• Use Non-Lethal Force: Operatives are to prioritize non-lethal methods of conflict resolution, with lethal force permitted only in life-threatening situations.
• Uphold Client Confidentiality: Client information is never disclosed, ensuring that missions are handled discreetly and professionally.
