Template:Infobox unit Paladin Nine Security (also known as Paladin 9) is a private military corporation founded and headed by Victor Coste. Unlike many other PMCs, Paladin 9's focus and foundation is to provide services to honorable and legal organizations, without compromising morals or conduct.
History
After Victor Coste left the Navy SEALs, he relocated to Washington, D.C. and formed Paladin Nine Security. The PMC specialized in high-tech defense solutions and kidnapping recovery assignments. With a relatively small group of personnel, Coste was able to handle much of the field work himself. He has major connections and contacts, enabling Paladin 9 to function efficiently. At some point, Victor Coste had hired Charlie Cole to work with Paladin 9 to handle technical details.
