Donrad Hooper

The Lusitanian Devil

A legendary corporate magnate of the League, frail now in his wheelchair yet unmistakable. Time has narrowed him — but the Lusitanian Devil still commands the room he is wheeled into, and the men who built the satellites and probes still answer to his name.

Frail, formidable

The Figure

Narrowed by time, undiminished in weight

They call him the Lusitanian Devil, and even reduced to a wheelchair the name still fits. Donrad Hooper built an empire of satellites, probes, and orbital infrastructure — one of the three pillars on which the League of Corporations was meant to stand.

When Molbrain is brought before him, he recognizes the face at once. Hooper has been listening, and the moment he speaks the meeting stops belonging to anyone else. Whatever the room had been a moment ago, it no longer is. Frailty has narrowed the body; it has not touched the authority.

Function

Magnate of the Hooper Corporation — satellites, probes, aerospace, the orbital infrastructure the age depends on. And one of the last men who remembers how the League really fell.

The three pillars

Gvenor, Hooper, Fox Moon. Then Fox Moon vanished from the equation — Hector Fox struck into a coma, the company absorbed. Contracts shifted. Loyalty was bought.

The presence

Time has made him frail. It has not made him safe to ignore. When Hooper speaks, the room reorganizes around the wheelchair.

“We have been waiting for you.”
