"The Guardian of the East." Titan, Guardian, Middle East Relief, Montu, United Republic of the Middle East (URME).

Originally, Titan Company was not always called that name. Before the Great Collapse happened, another crisis was happening in the world and it started in the Middle East. The company used to be a humanitarian organization called "The Middle East Relief." The purpose of that organization was provide aid and supplies to Iraqis and Iranians during the Iran–Iraq War. They also assisted Palestinian and Lebanese refugees during the war in 1982. The Middle East Relief gained much needed attention that interested other countries to help out the relief organization. Then things got worse as the Gulf War began when the United States invaded Iraq.

Less money was now going towards organizations like The Middle East Relief and more was going towards it's army. As the war got more deadly, thousands of refugees were in hands of the nearby humanitarian organizations. The Middle East Relief did their best to rebuild lives during and after the Gulf War. However, the United States invaded Iraq and it was the beginning of the Iraq War. The war would cost thousands of lives and caused ISIS to form in the aftermath. ISIS would also cause the European refugee crisis as millions tried to escape the collapsing Middle East. Things were looking hopeless but the Middle East Relief refused to back down and began their work. That was when they met a private security company based within the Middle East, Montu.

After reaching an agreement, Montu and The Middle East Relief joined forces to "better the situation in the Middle East." As Iraqi forces slowly defeated ISIS, Montu was able to provide that extra push needed to wipe them off of the map. While The Middle East Relief helped rebuilt several town and cities as they had been under ISIS control for several years. Eventually, the war with ISIS soon ended with a crushing defeat for ISIS and a huge victory for both Montu and the Middle East Relief. However, the Great Collapse came and it had a huge disastrous effect on the region.

Iraq and several other countries were falling apart as total government control was lost over the population. As the governments of the world were slowly collapsing, government regulations over companies were no longer being enforced. It was the perfect time to assume control for Montu and the Middle East Relief. Montu overtook the Iraqi government in the matter of days while the Middle East Relief immediately merged with several other humanitarian organizations and dying companies in the Middle East region. Soon enough, Iraq and Kuwait were being controlled and observed by Montu in 2035. The two organizations managed to get the attention of the royal families of the Middle East. Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, Oman, Yemen, and Jordan came up with an agreement to hold a meeting to discuss the 'fate of the Middle East.'

In July, the CEO of Montu and President of the Middle East Relief soon arrived to Dubai for the meeting. The details of what happened during the meeting have not surfaced; but in the end, both organizations were given huge amounts of money and allowed complete control of their actions within the region. Dubai soon became the organizations' new headquarters after the meeting. In a year, the city has grown into being the biggest regional hub for finance, trade, tourism, and shopping in the Middle East. This growth would result in the formation of Titan Company, the combination of Montu and the Middle East Relief, in 2040. Titan became the most powerful and influential company in the region. This new found power spelled problems with relations between the royal families.

When the annexation of the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain, the remaining royal families declared Titan to be a threat and warned others on 2044. Titan responded by hosting an 'annual meeting between the Middle East.' Oman, Yemen, Jordan, Palestine, Lebanon, and Syria responded and accepted the offer while Saudi Arabia declined to go and send a spokesman instead. The meeting was held in Baghdad, Iraq and details of that meeting also have not surfaced. But, all of the people that attended ended up dead within a two month period. All of the countries—besides Saudi Arabia—quickly fell apart and Titan took control. Their arrival was rather quick.

After the meeting, Titan once again were expanding their control over the Middle East region. Israel, Palestine, Turkmenistan, Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, and Kyrgyzstan all went under Titan control in a three year period. With their defensive force, they decided to invade the ungoverned lands of Turkey and annex their remaining lands. In a one year period, hundreds of Titan forces died while launching an offensive strategies in their first and only war against a government. With Turkey under the direct control of Titan, it was not long before Afghanistan and Pakistan allowed the company to do whatever to them. However, Titan only took what useful lands were left and let the countries rot.

Saudi Arabia was the remaining government that Titan did not control in the Middle East. Instead of a direct attack, they waited for the dying royal family came to them. It took only two months (thanks to the blockade) before the family arrived at Dubai, but it was bitter sweet victory for Titan. The family allowed them to take complete control of Saudi Arabia, making Titan Company the first to unite all of the Middle East countries as one. In 2048, Titan Company began changes to their leadership making it run more like a government than a megacoroporation. Things were looking good for the company until one day.

Several cities in the Middle East were attacked by the returning ISIS forces as several bombings happened in the cities. Private forces quickly responded and attacked back, lasting days before ISIS retreated back into the deserts of the Middle East. The attacks left thousands dead and millions of dollars in damages to the cities. Titan vowed that they would wipe the ISIS threat for sure like they did in the early 2000s. However, ISIS supporters are everywhere and difficult to control and follow. Rumors surfaced that the 'royal' families of the Middle East are behind the support, but nothing can be confirm or deny and that scares them.

President and CEO Daifallah Habib, the first president of the United Republic of the Middle East, vows that he would wipe out the ISIS forces hidden within Iraq's mountains and caves. Habib is augmented, making him a target of several attack ads and threats for religious folks, and often shows it off with his metal arm and leg painted in tan. His goals, besides destroying ISIS, is to improve human augmentations to rival EDA Core.

Titan Company was once ran like a regular company until they controlled the entire Middle East region. That was when the company adopted a government body. The United Republic of the Middle East is a corporatist authoritarian government. Historians have point out on how similar the URME is to Portugal's Estado Novo in the early 1900s (instead of the URME being fascists). The Republic allows basic rights for the people and it acts as if it was not authoritarian. However, people who opposed the Republic often faced punishments and political parties are heavily limited. And there is not any form of elections happening as well, making Daifallah Habib leader for a very long time.

Titan Company has always been proud of caring for the people since the early days of Montu and the Middle East Relief. You could say that they consider the people before making decisions. It also means that the private security would always go save the citizens, which is a weakness that someone could use. However, they will fight in cities full of people if it means crushing the enemy or defending their lands. The culture is also like the one you would see while working in any other government. In short, Titan Company is both a government and a business; but, they tend to be government first.

They are also a humanitarian organization, which does not mean much on paper. But, they still say that as a token to remembering the past.

Titan Company also offers security to their people in the United Republic of the Middle East. Their active 'military' is one of the biggest in the world with about six hundred thousand men all over the Middle East. The majority of the troops are fighting ISIS all over different fronts, which might seem overkill to those that do not watch the news. However, ISIS strongholds are all over the Middle East and URME does not want them to be influencing anyone else to join their cause. URME also has stated that they are not interested in expanding anymore ensuring everyone that they want only the Middle East. That does not mean that they will defend themselves, if they have to.

The 'military' also allows foreigners similar to the French Foreign Legion which recruits applicants aged eighteen to forty. Like the EDA, augmentation is also encouraged in the military; however, being augmented is not popular to many.

Daifallah Habib | Male | Thirty-two | 06 August 2016

Life for Daifallah Habib was easier to live in than anyone else during the Great Collapse. Being raised in Dubai and having the best education that money could offer was the thing that made Habib into the man who he is. He went to college and then university to fulfill his dreams of becoming a businessman. It took him a few years of hard work and determination, but he got it with his degree. Even know the world was dying around him. Dubai was safe for all of the chaos, thanks to the local police force. That was before Montu and the Middle East Relief took over the city and government.

He joined Titan so he could make the Middle East a better place to live in. Years of working up the corporate ladder paid off during the attacks by ISIS. The original CEO, Taajuddeen el-Kaba, was attacked during the mass confusion. The injuries were serious enough to cause the company to worry. While he went into surgery, they came up with a plan and approached Daifallah Habib to offer him the CEO spot. He gratefully accepted and waited for the results of the surgery. Sadly, he did not make it because of lost too much blood.

After a day of mourning, Daifallah Habib was promoted to CEO and given control of the government. Much of Taajuddeen's original plans were removed to be replaced by Habib's. After two months of planning, he had changed the government into something different and interesting. Regardless, he has the best interest of both the people and Titan.

Habib has always played in the corporate game during his time before he became CEO of Titan. He enjoys playing the game so much that he gets into it by challenging and questioning everyone. People know him as a man that barely has any friends instead he has his advisers and loved ones. However, he has a public life with the people and travels all over the Middle East to give speeches and enjoy time with family. The private life seems too boring for Habib, but he does have to keep somethings in the dark. He is generally a cool person to hang out with often.

Since the death of his mother and father, Habib tries to keep his relations with his brothers active. They always tried to bring the family together by hosting events during holidays. Almost all of his brothers work for Titan besides one that became an artist, which was questioned by everyone including Habib. Desptie that little issue, he tries to keep the family together as much as he could do. However, he has to run a country and a company at the same time. It makes things more difficult. As for friends, he does not have many. In fact, most of his friends are advisers that he help with running a country. He has grow close to them despite being in office for only a couple weeks. He hopes to have more friends, but he is happy with spending time with them.
