The Chronulean Extranational Security Enterprise Corporation (CE-SEC or E-SEC, take your pick), is Wizard City's sixth limb for dealing with out-of-state matters. The head Archmages all own considerable amounts of stock in the group, and its leadership is so thoroughly composed of those within government that they use state taxes and property to fund and house Board of Directors meetings.
Headquarters itself is but a shimmering facade - an exorbitant skyscraper to house money launderers and host decadent wizard parties. The real work happens in secret bloodstained ritual rooms and in augurs' caves.
E-SEC is flush with profits from export and import, security detailing, and the waging of minor warfare. They use this cash for a variety of acquisition projects.
What’s their next Corporate Acquisition?
