When Clan Jade Falcon conquered worlds hosting operations of the criminal Malthus Syndicate during Operation REVIVAL, it was determined that the [[House Malthus|crime family]] was distantly related to the founder of the Malthus Bloodhouse.  Unwilling to assimilate such ''[[dezgra]]'' bandits into their Clan, the Falcons provided them to the Free Guilds in partial payment for logistics support.  Rather than being worked to death, as the Falcons intended, the Malthus Syndicate members thrived in the Guilds, helping their new brethren establish lucrative smuggling routes between the Occupation Zones and the Inner Sphere, where the surviving elements of the Malthus Syndicate still operated.  By 3151, many of the most powerful Free Guilds were led by descendants of Malthus Syndicate members.

After the Jade Falcon warriors migrated ''en masse'' to Terra and were subsequently all but annihilated, several Malthus-controlled Free Guilds formed the Malthus Confederation and exploited the power vacuum in the Falcon Occupation Zone by offering protection to now-defenseless worlds in exchange for resources and labor. Despite losing control of [[Guatavita]] to the Lyran Commonwealth in May, by mid-[[3151]] the Malthus Confederation had carved out a sizeable (though unofficial) realm in the former Falcon OZ and ran intelligence networks throughout the region and into the [[Clan Hell's Horses|Hell's Horses']] OZ.<ref name=TRp22&24/><ref name=TRp82>''Tamar Rising'', p. 82: "Tamar Pact"</ref>
