Compagnie des Cents Associes

Charted by Cardinal Richelieu himself to exclusive rights of the French colonies in the new world, the Compagnie des Cents Associes ("Company of a Hundred Associates") was a league of businessmen and merchants who brought to New France the expertise and administrative skills of the Order of Seneschals. Made up predominantly of Seneschals, the 'Compagnie' did manage to organize Canada's early fur trade.
However, from the offset, the organization faced considerable challenges, including excessive oversight from the French government, harassment of their ships from pirates and British privateers, and rising costs on supplies from across the Atlantic. Eventually, the company had its charter revoked by the king and the company went bankrupt afterward...
However, something of the company still exists within the Knights of Labour. The '100 Associates' is still a Seneschal-led league of entrepeniers who work together to build up Canada's economy and encourage economic development. Membership is by invitation only, and they only choose Adepts who have proven themselves successful businessmen.
