Inquisitorial assessment:
Viktor Hämdnson

Kellid Mercenary in the "Orchestra" mercenary company. No obvious Abyssal influences.
Denied worship of Demonic entities under a zone of truth, does not detect as evil by all utilized means.

Defeated junior inqusitor Aeran Arendae in a trial by combat over accusations of demon worship. Let the inquisitor live, although he would have been legally able to kill him.

Keep on watch list. Place on "Usual suspects" list in case of major demonic infiltration.

Signed, Prelate Hulrun.

Orchestra

Legal Status:

The Orchestra is a mercenary batallion operating in the north of Golarion. They have performed on the side or Irrisen against Hold of Belkzen, on the side of the Hold of Belkzen against Lastwall, on the Side of the Hold of Belkzen against forces associated with Tar-Baphon, on the side of the Hold of Belkzen against forces associated with the Worldwound and on the side of Lastwall against forces associated with Tar-Baphon.
The Hold of Belkzen reported highly satisfactory performance, the armed forces of Irrisen reported highly satisfactory performance, the military of Lastwall reported unsatisfactory performance.

The legal council of the Orchestra challenged the latter claim succesfully in Absalom court, citing violations of preagreed salvage and prisoner rights. Specifically, the Orchestras claims that Toragite Paladins executing Tar-Baphonite POWs, taken by the Orchestra represents both an infringement of Orchestra's operational freedom, and also represent theft as the Orchestra was unable to ransom or exchange this POWs, resulting in the death of Orchestra members held prisoner by Tar-Baphonite forces.

Possible employers:
The Orchestra adheres to basic restrictions of possible employers, forswearing fighting for Demon Lords currently ruled as openly invading Golarion (Deskari, Baphomet), or Qlippoths.
The Orchestra has signed on a contract with Irrisen to not fight for Koschtschie for 100 years and 100 days (remaining duration 95 years). As well as to not fight against Irrisen on territory recogniced as Irriseni 5 years ago.
The Orchestra has signed a contract with envoys of the savored Sting to not fight for Cheliax for 66 years.
The Orchestra announced its intention to not fight for Toragite interests.

Tactics and makeup:
The Orchestra has a sizeable percentage of Bards, Skalds or Spell Warriors in its ranks, which are used as considerable force multipliers.
Front line troops are often Barbarians or Bloodragers.
Strengths:
It is a mostly infantry forces, known for a high degree of mobility and a curious mix of ambush and shock tactics. Many Orchestra members have dark vision, and they excel at night fighting.

Weaknesses:
The Orchestra does have a light cavalry unit, but it is used exclusively for scouting and running down routing foes, not for frontline combat. They only have limited divine support.

Controversies:
The Orchestra has an incredibly pragmatic outlook, rumors exist of having completed clandestine tasks for Demon Lords Zurah and Nocticula, which are formally denied by all 3 parties, exists. They are commonly ruled as credible due to the fact that Irrisen is paying them to never fight for Demon Lord Koschtschie.

Overall assessment:
A highly competent mercenary company of somewhat questionable repute.

S@+$ Vikor thought as more Demons appeared.
Look who we have heeeere! Bleated a Shir
A future toy! I will cherish it greatly! spoke the voice of an Incubus
Say "A f*$~ing agent of our Lady in Shadow, who will f~#~ing murder all of you dumb f*#$ing ass wipes if you interfere with her plan", then walk over to the Schir, he is wounded and weak, and try to kill it with your Bardiche Said a melodic, almost pristine voice in his head
A f~+~ing Agent of you f#&~ing know who, who will f+~@ing murder you barely murderable because you are too f#@%ing weak a~#*+*#s for interfering. Also, your speech impediment is disgusting. Viktor listened to the voice, walked over to the Schir, and cleaved his surprised face in two.
The demons left.
That worked? Thoughts Viktor
Yeap Answered the voice
I owe you one, may I enquire your name? Viktor thought
Arueshalee, but please, keep it a secret. Came the answer
If fate and steel permits, I shall repay this favor. He intoned mentally.
May Lady Luck see that this wont be needed He heard.
Thee are a Desnan? May the song of the spheres add Baphomet and Deskari to her tally Came his very polite wish
May your Lord in Iron wash his blade in Baphomets and Deskaris vile blood Came an equally polite answer, displaying a great degree of insight on Kellid traditions.

Viktor continued, he needed to deliver this message now, and this intercession was most fortunate.
