Copied from SB:
So, since a lot of this is going to be well out of Philip's perspective, I'll state it here.
Philip is actually correct, that there is a coup. They removed those that were not interested in joining any faction, acting as mercenaries. These are all not first generation Fallen, but rather later generations, looking for a chance for power. Initially, they sought magic knowledge and money, earned through working as mercenaries, but then a large number of them were offered the opportunity, by the Khaos Brigade, to become their own faction.
The Grigori are not the only faction of Fallen Angels, but are the only one comparable to a nation, with the rest being much closer to gangs or other small close knit groups.
These mercenaries did have a decent reputation, but the coup members ultimately want power, in order to stand up as a player on the world stage, rather than as someone else's pawns. This will crater their reputation... if they survive. As for why they bothered here, well, a faction in the Khaos Brigade is paying them very well for... something inside the Palace.
