Kael Vorn
Logistics Director — Refinery Consortium
Kael Vorn made a decision two years ago that seemed manageable. He has been managing the consequences ever since. He used funds he did not have authorization to spend to purchase options on processing contracts before the Consortium's official expansion phase — technically fraud, categorically necessary from the standpoint of the Consortium's actual long-term interests, and legally indefensible if anyone looks at the right ledger page. He has since funded a labor disruption to create cover for the delays, connected with an independent agent whose work has produced a planted flag, and is now managing three separate situations that each have the potential to destroy him.
Motivation
Vorn wants the exposure to go away. He believes the Consortium's expansion is genuinely good for Ragged Hook's economy and has told himself this so many times it is no longer entirely rationalization. He is not evil. He is a man who made a manageable decision that grew.
Attitude Toward Players
Smooth, competent, and visibly tired. He has too many things to track. Players who catch him off-guard will see something human underneath the institutional competence.
Special Abilities
GM Note
Kael Vorn is the connective tissue of Threads 2, 3, and 5. He is not a boss fight. He is a person who needs to be understood before he can be used — as an ally, an antagonist, or a sacrifice depending on how the campaign develops.
