Every member worthy of the stories told of HTR and similar forces. They are few in numbers. Numbering only 64 in total with a group of 16 currently in training hoping to join their ranks. Most of said members however seem to be comprised of former Evo and Ares HTR members. Said Evo members reportedly attempting to form a PMC of their own before unknown factors caused them to fail. Whether they come from the backgrounds of mercenaries, criminals, HTR, soldiers, or runners, provided they meet the criteria and pass the various trials. Nearly all are welcome within Horned Bear's ranks.

Joining Horned Bear
Joining Horned Bear is a very strange yet intense process that is conducted over a span of time. To join Horned Bear a recruit must undergo a mental and physical test to ensure they are ready for training. While in training they are a member by technicality and given the rank of "recruit." However they are not a fully realized member and must undergo training to reach the skill level of HTR or Spec-Ops operatives. Said training is both in attendance and on the field. Doing runs or mercenary work is considered a good form of said training. Once the recruit has gone through enough training they can deem themselves ready of undergoing an intense trial known as "the crucible of death." Commonly referred to as just "the crucible." If they complete this trial they are deemed worthy and are officially declared a private in their ranks. If they fail the crucible of death they may either quit or undergo more training again till they are ready. (It is heavily rumoured fighting a bear with your fists is part of the trial but that is neither confirmed or denied.)
Another note, if a fully initiated private or higher is severely injured or unable to operate they lose their rank of private or higher and must undergo the crucible of death once again to rejoin and receive the payment/perks provided.
