I. Eastern Origins
The Golden Peppers were founded by two survivors named Cob and Gabe that were new to the land and had a vision. After traversing the lands of Chernarus, they decided to plant some roots in Eastern Chernarus, specifically in Orlovets and eventually encompassing Dolina as well. Through their experience, they had the grand idea to set up a trading post and be mercenaries for hire. Their ideas of trading and jobs for hire were much different than they are now. Through luck and some good cunning, they recruited a number of members to join their ranks. Eventually though, their way of life caught up to them with Gabe being put into a coma and many members being killed or going missing. Cob and Ross then decided they needed to redefine the vision of the Golden Peppers. After talking with Waxxer of The Renegades, Cob decided it was for the best to change locations to the West and redefine the sort of trading and jobs the Golden Peppers would provide, leaning more toward their inherently good nature.
