The Company
From Prison Break Wiki
The Company is a secret group of multinational corporate alliances known only by those who work for them or oppose them. Its influence and power over individuals stretches to the White House, controlling every decision the country makes. Its main goal is to attain control over the country's economy. With Caroline Reynolds, the former Vice President of the United States in their grasp, "The Company" held control over the government's sway on the energy bill and subsequently, the country's economy. However, "The Company" considers every individual who works for them a pawn to achieve their goals.

[edit] Background
Its desperate need to attain control of the country's economy eventuated in illegal dealings through Caroline Reynolds' brother's company, Ecofield. When one of their employees leaked information about Ecofield into the public, "The Company" went to incredible lengths to capture him. This man was Aldo Burrows (Anthony Denison). In order to bring him out into the open, "The Company" masterminded a conspiracy and used Caroline Reynolds' power as the Vice President to convict his son, Lincoln Burrows of Terrence Steadman's murder, thus framing an innocent Lincoln.
"The Company" became increasingly worried about Caroline Reynolds chances at winning the presidential elections after her support started to plummet in the polls. After Reynolds lost President Richard Mills' confidence and the support for a key energy bill, "The Company" decided to cut her off and advised her to drop out of the race, or they would have to make her. They were greatly surprised when Reynolds had the President killed shortly thereafter (disguising it as a heart-attack) and was then sworn in as the next President of the United States.
The relationship between Reynolds and "The Company" after she became President is uncertain. At first glance, it seems like she severed her ties with them. However, they may still be involved in the plot although Caroline Reynolds is in a much more powerful position now since she became President without their help. If the partnership is still active, it's no longer sure who controls whom.
The company's main HQ is right next to The Gate Corporation building and part of the buildings blueprint is shown in episode 4x07 Five the hard way.
[edit] Scylla
Scylla is an external hard drive primarily located within The Company's main HQ. The hard drive is said to hold reports and other personnel information on all of it's current and former operatives. Not only that it holds a scientific formula enable to harness the sun's solar energy.
The actual hard drive is stored within a electronic containing device which needs six cards to open. These six cards are held by six people including the General chosen presumably by him.
The Electric Containing device holding Scylla is surrounded by four large glass walls, outside of these walls an advance security system, set in place. The Security system is as followed: Several hyper sensitive Microphonic Sensors pointing in all directions, Thermal Dectors that thinks any temperature higher that 37°C as a possible threat and weight sensors in the floor that can detect an added surface load of 2lbs. If at least one of these security measures are comprised the system sets off the Scylla alarm alerting the General of a possible breach by showing him video surveillance above Scylla. The blueprints of the Scylla Security System need a Legend designed by David Baker who created the system.
Beyond the glass wall is another wall, a concrete wall that is fortified with steel fiber. Seven feet behind the concrete wall buried 80mm beneath the floor are several JZ33 Anti-personal blast mines that if tried to be dismantled will set of the Scylla alarms.
