Silly Poll... ^_^

There might be a serial-rapist I'm forgetting, but I'll vote Halberstam.

Whatever is leading Aztech. I go for 'other'.

What, no Cham Lam Won?

I'll have to think on this one, but I'm leaning toward Dunkelzahn. Except he isn't really corporate…

~J

Well, I didn't even tought about Cham Lam Won! Shame on me!!! ^_^

Well, as for AZT, Roxborough is on the board of director... ^_^

without knowing too much about the big picture .... I sense a dark aura around Lofwyr.

...and I think dragons have more evil-potential than mere humans

Sherman Huang always struck me more as 'distasteful' rather than 'evil', I suppose.
Ancient History is *always* right, so I'll vote Halberstam too.

But Halberstam is a real bastard.

Hell, Dunkie was on the board of AZT too. I prefer targeting humans...at least we can understand their evil, and frankly they've less excuse than "Well, my sire raised me to think metahumans were only good for a snack or a shag, sorry."

I'm the loony who voted for Richard Villier...

I suspect that there was an awful lot of wetwork related to his ascension to Fuchi and the to Novatech... ^_^

Evil is such a subjective term.

Lucien Cross. Would have chosen Lofwyr, but we all know he doesn't exist, he's just a PR-gag.

I voted Halberstam. That guy's sick. The rest of them... well... seem more "harshly amoral" rather than actually evil. Lucien Cross, for instance... He seems more contrarian than diabolic.

And Lofwyr, for goodness sake; he's not out to destroy people for the sheer joy of it. He's just out to make a buck, like you or me. He's just bigger and smarter.

You could argue that Halberstam isn't out to destroy people for 'the sheer joy of it' either. He's a man of science that's trying to push the boundaries of knowledge and help improve the world. That a few people in a world of billions must be sacrificed for this is a sad but necessary evil, the good of the many outweighing the good of the few.

You have the Gift, that's the whole secret.

Where's info on Halberstam? I haven't read the threats book yet, so I figured I might as well get the info on where to look first from here.

Wasn't it Aztlan sb?

That would be… difficult.

~J

My vote goes to Halberstram. He is perpetrating evil for the sake of evil, a far as I care.

Roxborough would be my second pick, I never knew that he raped little boys. That is definately an evil act.

Halberstam... he's not your typical "corporate raider" but he sacrifices kids to make "super deckers".

Other: Buttercup ... Just don't ask why ...

Cute and funny is a cover. She thirsts for souls.

I'm kinda surprise about the popularity of Dunkie, David Gavilan and Sherman Huang

Sherman Huang = Former manager of Renraku America and director of the Seattle Arcology. (Now, he replaced Aneki-sama as Renraku CEO). Along with Cham Lan, he is responsible for the creation of the Deus entity.

David Gavilan/Damien Knight = CEO of Ares Macrotech. Probably responsible for the creation of the virus that caused the crash of 29'. Former leader of the Echo Mirage team. He is a ruthless bastard that wants to dominate the world. He is also responsible for killing hundreds of peoples and astral entity in Chicago with the Sub-Tactical nuke and then with the Strain-3 Beta astral virus.

Dunkie = Almost no dirt can be found about that great dragon. However he helped financing MAJOR 6th world operation such as the nanosecond buyout and Acquisition Technologies. (So, he is closely related to both Thomas Roxborough, Damien Knight and Lucien Cross). He plotted SEVERAL stuff but has a serious knack for remaining behind the curtain. Some dirt can probably digged by examining "Portfolio of a Dragon" more closely.

Possible crackpot theory as to Dunkie's motivation (spolier warning, maybe): The Shedim must never reign.

One major advantage which metahumans have over these bad boys is science - I doubt a Horror would ever get the basic interface of these. Thus Dunkie would find men like Cross and Knight who know how to make that stuff work and help them.

Rox, on the other hand? Dunkie probably tapped him and went on the Aztech board to try to limit/steer-in-the-right-course Aztechnology's plans. When he offed himself to power that whatchamajigger (You can see my knowledge on the topic dissipating) you see that he lost control not only on the sicko Rox but on Aztechnology - And he did what he had to do to stop a major FUBAR situation.

In one of the more modern SBs out there (I can't recall which one) didn't Rox get sprung from Wonderland? I don't remember which book it was in, tho, sorry. I know in one of the SOTA books Rox's status got updated.

I voted Lofwyr because of the whole attempt to subjugate Europe and willingness to eat his suboordinates thing...

Though, as long as we're playing point of view games, he's not evil -- just hungy.

I suppose the same could be said of horrors though ...

What about the head of Shiawase? The man had his daughter infected by a vampire just to test the effectiveness of a prototype HMHVV vaccine.

Always considered that to be normal behaviour at corp sharks families.

Come on! She is said to look as if 40, but is way older... uah...

I never understand why intelligent-as-fuck corp shark marry women who are as cunning, cold-hearted and intelligent as them?

I went with Roxborough. The others may be ammoral, and at least one is dead but Roxborough is the only one who is openly insane.

Gotta go with Roxy too. For some reason I love to hate that freakish blob.

Grendel.

I voted for Roxborough--however, I haven't read all of my SR novels yet.

To borrow a line from The Joker (Jack Nicholson) in BATMAN (1989)--

"Wait'll they get a load of ME...."



--Foreigner

Wait, who is Roxbourough, and where can I see stuff about him?

Drop bears. First, Australia; then, the world!

Seriously, though, I put whatever the blazes is controlling Juan Aztepolco. It's likely some sort of Horror, bent on completely ruining the universe as we know it. My current PC is a Horror(with a capital H)-phobiac, of course.

Roxy is one of the people running Aztechnology. He has some condition that basically liquified him. He has to live in vats inside of a Delta clinic in Central America, where he is always connected to the matrix. He's an overall bad guy who instead of going to his father's funeral made a business deal, he rapes young boys via the matrix, and tries to get his doctors to put him in other peoples bodies. You can find him in the Dragon Heart Saga books, and he's mentioned in a few sourcebooks (Corporate Download is one of them) as well as posts in some.

EDIT- He also caused the Crash of 29, whether his company actually made the virus or let it out of (Dunk's?) system hasn't been determined, as far as I know.
