Brief History:
The Goldbull Legion (more popularly known as 'The Goldbulls' or just 'The Legion') was formed by his current Lord-Commander, Lucifer Whitecrest after he left Westeros and established himself as a businessman and military commander operating out of Qarth. Early in the Company's life a number of his infantry fled against a Dothraki Horde, although the battle was won it resulted in his cavalry and archers needing to cover lost ground and suffering unneeded losses. As a result Lucifer ordered 'decimation' on the men that fled.
The fifty men that routed and survived were forced to draw lots. Forty-five black stones and five white stones. Although they were reluctant to comply, the rest of the Legion that depended on Lucifer for pay had them surrounded and in position to butcher the lot if they didn't perform the punishment. Each man that drew a white stone was surrounded by five men that drew black, each man that drew black was provided a cudgel and the men that drew white were beaten to death. From that day on respect for Lord-Commander Whitecrest was matched with fear. The threat of Decimation constantly hanging over the men that might think of routing.
Since then the bread and butter of the Legion has been halting the progress of Dothraki Hordes and bolstering defense when a Magistrate or Ruling Council member feels threatened during election season.
