'''Gabriel Demuiré''' (born June 3, 1961) is a
== Early Life, Education, and Military Service ==
Public records are limited on Demuiré's life, particularly before his start as a businessman. Census records indicate he was born in the city of [[Descarai]], Cartevedra,
Demuiré enrolled in the Descarai Combat Academy in 1979, at age 17, automatically becoming a member of the [[Royal
Demuiré saved his commander's life during an unspecified accident during a 10th Legion wargame, the details of which are classified. He also pioneered an armored warfare tactic that is currently in use by
His unit would be trained using his own unique brand of tactics, which unfortunately did not help during the 1985 Corric Succession Crisis. The 4th Royal Armored Cavalry Regiment was deployed to capture Fort Vincezno Airbase, which was being held by the air forces declared treasonous in support of Prince Astolfo. The First A.C. was subject to several strafing runs and bombings by the rebellious forces, leaving Demuiré in a coma and most of his subordinates dead.

== Private Career ==
Demuiré moved to Tonderouca in southern Castijara and founded Quill Defense Contractors with several associates he knew from military service. Using combined funds, the group purchased an office and storage space in the city and began recruitment of security specialists and recently discharged or retired
The QDC operations were spearheaded and often personally led by Demuiré, and included providing security details for private individuals, training law enforcement and security forces for
An unknown number of classified contracts with government and nongovernment entities in this period provided enough revenue for QDC to purchase the Pomesoria Castle in southern Ashura, [[Packilvania]], and the land surrounding it. The company incorporated in 1997 in the city of Akas Akil, forming an international headquarters there and moving their operational headquarters to Pomesoria, though the Tonderouca offices would be retained as the company's
In 2003, Demuiré authorized the creation of branch offices in [[
While QDC does not disclose its clients publicly, there is evidence that Demuiré was present in some capacity at several low-level conflicts in the early and mid 2000's. He has expressed a personal interest in making sure "things turn out honorably," an attitude which has been echoed by all QDC contractors whenever asked their intentions about their work.
TacGen Systems, owned by
In 2013, QDC acquired Watchman Shipping Consulting, a private maritime security company, after a controversial period of events. The Chairman and CEO of Watchman, Douglas Kilvahill, had been in talks for several months with Demuiré about a proposed buyout. Kilvahill had proved reticent and unsure of the opportunity. He eventually agreed to invite Demuiré to tour one of Watchman's floating armories, speculated to be a move designed to increase the proposed buyout price. While the two men were aboard the vessel, it came under attack by unknown assailants in speedboats and a helicopter. Many Watchman personnel were killed, including Kilvahill, and the armory contents stolen. Watchman board members accused Demuiré of manufacturing the attack, though no conclusive evidence ever surfaced and the matter was dropped. QDC bought out Watchman five months later for $1.2 billion, $800 million less than what Kilvahil had proposed. Watchman would come under the QDC umbrella as Quill Shipping Consultants.

While QDC did have some small involvement in the 2017 [[Auroran-Pacific War]], Demuiré was forced to have suspend operations in Aurora after the war. The [[United Nations of the Auroran Continent]] made private security and risky and highly-scrutinized business on the continent, and QDC shuttered their offices in January 2018. This coincided with a steep loss of revenue, estimated to be over half a billion dollars. Demuiré was nearly subpoenaed by the UNAC to testify on QDC operations, though the matter was eventually dropped as the process of securing his cooperation was too difficult.
Demuiré briefly returned to Casilló y Réal in 2018 to give a lecture to the Royal
In his first statement to press about QDC operations in 2020, Demuiré stated that certain contractor elements of the corporation had been hired to protect population centers and infrastructure in North [[Ni-Rao]] as part of the [[Ni-Rao Civil War]]. He stated his hope that the Quill personnel would provide "professional and heartwarming protection to those as unfortunate enough to be caught in such a heated conflict."

== Charity Work ==
Demuiré would use his personal wealth to start Shining Armor Investments in [[Tivot]] in 2009. A private equity firm, much of its revenue was generated in early years by investments into green energy, smartphones, internet services, shipping, and microchips. Currently the seventh-largest private equity firm owned by a
With profits increasing to nearly $3 billion in 2015, Demuiré founded his second NGO, The Defusing Authority. In an interview to a Packilvanian reporter, he cited he often observed warzones QDC operated in being heavily mined. These mines would rarely be collected and defused after a conflict, and harmed people, infrastructure and general quality of life. TDA was designed to move in after hostilities die down and remove unexploded ordinance and minefields, guarded by QDC personnel. Today The Defusing Authority has defused over 2 million reported mines and disposed of nearly 250,000 artillery shells.

== Personal Life ==
Not much is known about Demuiré as a private individual. Certain groups, whether on their own or on his direction, have made efforts to remove or otherwise obfuscate records regarding his childhood and early adulthood; there remain today no surviving documents detailing his service with the
Various investigative journalists over the years have written about clients having hired them to discreetly look into Demuiré for business or personal reasons. Military personnel who served in the same units as him cite personal privacy when contacted, or else are already employed by QDC and refuse to meet. Those instructors at the Combat Academy who are taught him are either dead or at such advanced age cannot recall individual students. Classmates from public school only seem to remember a young man who loved books and had no friends beyond his dog.
