Steen's Devils

A private mercenary outfit, with an office on Pluribus, it is led by Tirkov Steen. His assistant is a cyber named Lagda, who he occasionally calls "Phoenix".

At one point, the Devil's were virtually annihilated by a rival mercenary outfit named "Harlequin's Jokers".

When Tirkov first met Eric, both had just been enslaved on Alvor's Cove. When relating  how he was enslaved, Tirkov related: "Problem was that our Intel for the last job wasn't exactly accurate and instead of a small band of local cut throats we faced two companies of Harlequin's Jokers complete with Zealot Battle walkers and they had no problem to sell the surviving rest of my crew including me to the Mulwhur Trading Company."

Tirkov and Lagda later meet Eric at Checkpoint 96, where Lagda irritated Eric by making an overture for information on the Joker's whereabouts.
