The Retrieval Service Specialists, Get Backers is a group of highly specialized and exceptional individuals who offer the unique and often absolutely necessary service of getting back what one has lost. Almost a family business, the Get Backers were founded two generations ago and are in their fourth incarnation currently, with members including Midou Zan, son of Third Generation Get Backers Member Midou Ban, and Fuyuki Yoshino, daughter of another retrieval expert, Fuyuki Shido.
For the right price, the Invincible Retrieval Duo, Get Backers, will find and reclaim what you've lost with a guaranteed 100% success rate. This has, in the past, included lost dogs, missing daughters, Nazi Wine, family heirlooms and even the eye of a legendary Onmyouji. No challenge is too big for the Get Backers.. for the right price.
History
The First Generation of Get Backers was formed of Der Kaiser and the Gale Emperor (疾風の王), going into business together, until the death of der Kaiser. The Gale Emperor retired after passing on the title and name of Get Backers to a new group comprised of three people, whose names are shrouded in mystery.
The Second Generation were the ones who embraced the philosophy that when you begin something, you need to end it because otherwise the puzzle will always be incomplete. They had competed for a time with the retrieval service ran by Kudou Yamato, but with his tragic death, they became the only ones with that job.
The Third Generation of Get Backers were in many ways the culmination of several people's efforts and the convergence of several groups' interests into one single point. This group was formed of Midou Ban, Der Kaiser's son, and Amano Ginji, known as Raitei, leader of Infinite Castle's legendary gang, VOLTS. After a tumultuous beginning which almost ended on the first day, due to the sudden arrival of Fudoh Takuma, the pair, encouraged by Honky Tonk Cafe owner Paul Wan, the man who was introduced to them by the Second Generation. Their first meeting was in Mugenjou and marked the first defeat of Raitei.
Before too long, Ban and Ginji became friends, almost brothers even, and rapidly growing into a flawless.... well almost.... team. After a year or so of doing minor and barely rewarding jobs, the Get Backers were more and more drawn into several groups' designs, with more and more enemies converging together around the duo. Several organizations of incredible power.. in many fields, political, mystical, fighting.. had been working towards a single point, and all three Retrieval experts (Ban, Ginji and Shido) were needed for the culmination of their plans.
After the Get Backers came out of this fantastic ordeal.. one of many.. and dealt with most of their personal problems, they, too, grew up and had children. They had intended to pass on their skills to a new group of Get Backers, but unfortunately, Ban died before this happened, to the group's original enemy no less, Fudoh Takuma. So the mantle of the Fourth Generation of the Get Backers fell to the descendants of the Keys of Mugenjou.
