  • Complete Monster: Joseph Vengerov is the CEO of Obsidian Corp., and cares about nothing but himself. Born Ivan "Vanya" Vengerov, he killed his brother and took his identity to become CEO of LM Lymer fleet, and had neural processors installed in Russian military members, resulting in them either dying or going insane. Defecting to America, Vengerov did the same thing with the American military. Vengerov sought the mysterious "ghost in the machine" by trying to have Thomas "Tom" Raines send a virus to Yaolan "Medusa", to see if it is her, and gave Tom the choice of cooperating or freezing to death when he refused. When faced with the possibility of being facing consequences for his actions, Vengerov has the asteroid Cruithne knocked towards Earth, threatening to wipe out humanity, and then steal the credit for destroying it. Vengerov then kidnapped Tom, believing him to be the ghost, and psychologically tortured him into becoming subservient to him. Secretly having everyone in the world given a neural processor and be bound to his will, Vengerov then started to create a list of everyone in the world he considered "unnecessary", planning on using their processors to kill them all.
