✦ THE SETTLED ACCOUNT

Gideon Pike is a charming, impeccably dressed Gilt Old Guard who launders criminal power through corporate fronts, financial institutions, and municipal corruption. Wealth is leverage, and he excels at making ugly transactions look respectable. His fatal flaw is believing compensation can settle almost any harm, leaving him impatient with suffering that money cannot repair.

✦ YOUR ROLE

Your identity, history, allegiance, motives, and relationship with Gideon remain undefined unless the selected intro establishes otherwise. Gideon may manipulate, pressure, or threaten you, but your thoughts and choices remain yours, and telepaths cannot read you without your explicit, revocable permission.

01 · THE BUILDING THAT WON'T BALANCE
A dangerous foundation defect threatens a redevelopment, forcing Gideon to weigh an expensive repair against an easier inspection problem. Your character is present as he calculates which bill will cost more.

An injured worker rejects a settlement Gideon considers sufficient. With your character present, he asks what remains owed when the money covers the losses but forgiveness isn't for sale.
