We are a fighting company formed in December of [[2011]], in the the Duchy of the [[Ivory Tower]], under the Kingdom of [[Rivermoor]].  We are dedicated to growing our skill as fighters, both on a 1v1 and unit basisWe also have artisans, leaders, and members dedicated to service.   
We are mercenaries, and willing to accept the best contract available. We are dedicated to having a good time, and improving the our affiliated parks and the sport of Amtgard.  We emphasize improving on the aspects that we enjoy individually, and team-work on the field.  We feel that it's necessary to have a group of people to rely on to grow in this sport.  We thus thought it a natural choice to form a fighting company.  We emphasize that members get armor, and try to generally improve the look of our park, as well as serve in court positions, reeve, and take new players under their wing.  Of course, we enjoy fighting, as well.
 
Over time, we have developed an additional emphasis on armored combat, as well as unit-fighting. Many of our members are armorers, be it with plate-mail, or chain armor and leather. This has allowed us to field our entire company in armor with relative ease.
 
Since our establishment, we have enjoyed growth within our base park of the Ivory Tower, as well as recent expansion internationallyOur presence has influenced the direction of the Ivory Tower and the Principality, including our assistance in raising the Ivory Tower to the level of Duchy.  The majority of our members and prospects have served their parks and/or the Principality of Rivermoor in positions of authority.  We encourage all Jackals, regardless of rank or location to consider provincial leadership and set a damn good example of how it is done. 
 
We are personally accountable for our actions - and our actions speak well for us.

Also, it should go without saying, but exceptional disciplinary insubordination, gross misconduct or tarnishing the company image will be grounds for emergency althing for removal. In extreme circumstances (gross violation of mundane law, suspension or expulsion from Amtgard events or kingdoms, abuse of any kind, etc.) the General may make an autocratic decision to remove an individual from the company.
