The Swifts are a company of troops of the British Army, formerly of the 74th Regiment of Foot. They are under the command of Colonel Richard Venables and Major Richard Luther. They have a long, illustrious history of warfare first serving with the British Co. Elites and EITC Third Division and now serving alone in the depths of the jungles of Port Royal after their refounding in 1748.
They are tough and harden veterans, though many are now dead or gone and the squad which was once a full regiment has dwindled down to a squad/platoon of rough veterans. It has now been reformed with the return of the undead threat to the Caribbean.
Their nickname "The Swifts" comes from their reputation as the fastest and most cunning squad in the EITC Third Division though they brag that they are the fastest in the entire British Empire, they are mostly rogues, thieves and even former pirates who serve Britain as a way to make ends meet and legitimise their 'enterprises' as well as sheer loyalty to the senior officers, who have done one thing or another to earn their loyalty.
Venables and his soldiers somehow proved themselves as less-than-loyal to the EITC's dictator. In response, the EITC intentionally sent the soldiers to defend Fort Bleaktown against the seemingly-infinite legions of Jolly Roger's Undead Army, hoping to silence them by stationing them in such a remote area and possibly getting the company killed by the aforementioned Undead.
