The Winds of Destruction was a unit of three captains of Desperado Enforcement LLC. that had been shaped by the effects of wars and as a result, had a desire for chaos and destruction and were vicious killers. The members consisted of Mistral, Monsoon, and the de facto leader of Desperado and the Winds, Sundowner. Their codenames were all wind themed, and also fit with either their birthplace and heritage (eg, Mistral, Monsoon, and Samuel Rodrigues) or related to some act they committed during battle or a particular warzone (eg, Sundowner and Khamsin). Their aim was to put PMCs in demand and as a result, restart the war economy.
