Meet the team
These are the current dragons at the helm of Excelsior Enterprises. They are all either
rich,
awful,
stupid, but are most likely
all of the above.
Current CEO:
Aerindale
Aerindale saw forming a pact with the mysterious Excelsior as a perfect way to become even more filthy rich than he already was. Sure, its terms were steep and somewhat sinister, but he's a businessman, and is confidant that he and his associates can fulfill their end of the very profitable bargain. If they have to sacrifice a few interns to a creepy shadow monster, then so be it.
Other employees:
Strafford
A long-time business associate of Aerindale, Strafford was apprehensive about dealing with Excelsior at first, but when he saw the sum being offered all that apprehension went out the window. A true numbers man, Strafford cares about one thing: making the profit margin fatter, at any cost. He's far from opposed to a bit of dirty dealing to help make this happen, especially since he now has an eldritch overseer keeping a close eye on his numbers.
Julera
As the head of HR at Excelsior Enterprises, it's Julera's job to help manage the interpersonal conflicts and general pettiness that arises between their colleagues. Unfortunately, most of their advice boils down to "just quit whining and get back to work". Though on the surface their job is about making sure everyone gets along, their real concern is with identifying particularly troublesome employees who refuse to bend their personal ideals to be more in line with the company's. Such individuals are swiftly removed from the picture, by a variety of means.
Ricard
The younger of the two Valein siblings, Ricard was born with a silver spoon in his mouth. He's never had to work a day in his life thanks to his sister and the generous fortune left to them by their parents, and to call him a spoiled brat would be a massive understatement. He's helping finance EE in the hopes the profits will allow him to fund his lavish lair's third sauna, among other things.
Noemi
The elder of the Valein siblings, Noemi learnt everything she knows about managing a business from her mysteriously deceased parents. She's a cutthroat business woman who will destroy all competition in pursuit of profit, despite the fact that her family is already ridiculously rich. Though maybe that's understandable, since her useless brother seems intent on frittering away their fortune one luxury item at a time.
Smokey
An intern from a wealthy family, Smokey was always shunned by others of his kind due to his pale colouration. But if there's one thing he learnt from his parents, it's that money buys adoration. Once he's become stinking rich from this Excelsior business, he'll have the resources to buy all the friends he needs... and to make those who bullied him pay...
Brie
Brie first heard of Aerindale while she was pursuing a business degree in one of Arcane's top universities. She was studying his previous company, Dale Goods & Services, for a class project, and she quickly became very impressed with his his life and his many economic successes. He became a huge inspiration for her, and she vowed to one day use her own skills and prowess to become as rich and well regarded as him. So when years later she heard about an opening in his new company Excelsior Enterprise, Brie jumped at the chance to work with her idol first-hand. Now she has her dream job, and is surrounded by many dragons who have been in the industry a lot longer than she has. It's a bit intimidating, but she's prepared to do
anything to impress them. This is her big chance, after all.
Unfading
No one's sure why (or how) Unfading came to work at EE, but he's certainly good at his job. He just has a knack for predicting investment opportunities and balancing the books, despite having no apparent qualifications, nor any kind of resume for that manner. When asked where he sees himself in five years, he says "communing with the great one", and will not elaborate any further on what that means. He's definitely a bit of an odd duck, but seems mostly harmless. At least he's never late to the office! Come to think of it... does he ever leave the office?
Garli
A brilliant young engineer who's in charge of technological development at the company. Although they're a genius, their work ethic leave something to be desired, and they have trouble giving their all on any projects other than their own ones. That's something that could get them in trouble down the line...
Dizzy
A cheerful young intern who is all about
~positivity~. She's always ready to help out her coworkers - perhaps too ready, as her co-workers can often be found grumbling about her buzzing around and getting in everyone else's way. Her heart's in the right place though, which is more than can be said of most of the dragons here.
Locket.
Is a baby that seemingly belongs to Unfading. Will join the company when she grows up.
Hobart
Formerly a gang member, Hobart is ready to move on to a more sophisticated type of crime: rich people crime. He's not rich people yet, but he hopes to be soon. How hard can it be? he heard these guys have a monster that can make
infinite treasure, that sounds great!
Elfstone
A lazy bogsneak who has absolutely no idea what they're doing, and who really only took this job to hang out with their friend Hobart. Elfstone has never regretted hanging out with their bestie before, what could possibly be different about this time?
Disgraced Employees
These dragons have failed the company in some way, and have been taken by Excelsior. They now supposedly work directly for it, but what exactly their new eternal career entails is a mystery.
