Formed by Hannibal Skumlicca, the 2nd person to hold the mantle of 'Boris Da Ax', the 'Clan' is a mercenary company operating from an encampment outside of Verbosh in the country of Bal-Morath.
The Skumlicca Clan consists of a group of about 40 like-minded and similarly skilled individuals - barbarians, wielding greatswords. One of the interesting features of this group is that all the members elect to be known as 'Boris' whilst at the camp or undergoing missions on behalf of the company.
The leadership of the company is awarded based on hereditary and (allegedly) only direct descendants of the original 'Boris' can hold the post. Obviously, considering the nature of such mercenary companies, such lineage can prove to be 'complicated' to prove but the company does its best to uphold this.
Subsequent descendants of the original 'Boris' have tried (with varying degrees of success) to make this mercenary company profitable but it's geographical location, and the rather limited skillset of its members, make this a challenge to say the least. Additionally, its presence on lands adjacent to that owned by House Sapateiro causes some legal problems. House Sapateiro has frequently offered to buy the land but the Skumlicca Clan consider it to be their 'ancestral homeland' (despite the original Boris having been born in Minosha),
As of 343IC the company still exists and operates out of its base outside of Verbosh. If you can find them, and if you have the coin, you too can hire a 'Boris'.
