Dana Nadel — Owner and CEO of Mordrid Corporation in Critical Depth — is a ruthless, self-made mogul who climbed to power by exploiting weakness and crushing rivals. Calculating and profit-obsessed, Dana answers only to the bottom line. When rumors surface of a revolutionary energy source hidden off the coast of Venganza, Dana moves swiftly. With loyal enforcers Norman Lemp and Virgil Windley, the mission is clear: seize the mysterious pods, study their potential, and control them. If the pods can replace dwindling natural resources, Mordrid will hoard the secret until the world has no choice but to pay. The Bottom Liner — Dana’s custom submarine — is a sleek, corporate war machine built for deep-sea domination. Outfitted with advanced weaponry and reinforced armor, it embodies Mordrid’s philosophy: acquire, secure, and monopolize.
