House Derexhi is a family-run business that has offered guards and protection duties to those in Magnimar, whether for short or extended periods, since Magnimar was formed. They also are hired as private investigators and rescuers.

These guard duties pay the bills, but what really makes the family money is from the reputation of its top squad. This top squad comprises the most capable members, and they are brought in to do the hardest and most delicate missions. Being a founding family of the city, they have a seat on the city's ruling council, the Council of Ushers.

In 4712 AR, Lord-Mayor Haldmeer Grobaras survived an attempt on both his life and office by members of House Derexhi, who attempted to force Arrus Derexhi into the role of lord-mayor. Khonderian, the head of Grobaras's bodyguards, and Lord Randred Derexhi were murdered as part of the plot, and Arrus briefly led the house as lord. Several members of House Derexhi were killed or executed in the attempt, including Arrus, Eibadon Derexhi, Iskola Derexhi, and Ulisa Derexhi, as well as Korvosan mercenaries and several bystanders. Grobaras subsequently identified Luma Derexhi as the legitimate heir to the House's assets and titles. Lady Luma then exiled Yandine Derexhi for her role in the plot, and later killed Ontor Derexhi for his participation in Randred Derexhi's murder.
