Grant Thatcher
Background:
Grant Thatcher, known to some as "The Baron," is the ruthless and charismatic CEO of Thatcher Industries), an empire that spans lumber, mining, and oil acquisition throughout Western Canada and beyond. Born into wealth, Grant inherited the family business built by his father, Walter Thatcher, who earned his fortune through lumber and mining operations in Alberta and British Columbia. Walter was a hardworking, gritty businessman, but Grant took that empire and amplified it into something far more sinister. After taking over the company in his early 30s, Grant rapidly expanded into the oil and gas sector, exploiting Alberta's vast natural resources. He modernized the company with cutting-edge technology and gained control of several major pipelines, turning Thatcher Ind. into the dominant player in Western Canada's energy market. Unlike his father, who focused on regional success, Grant has always had his sights on international domination.
Grant's leadership is characterized by aggressive takeovers and a complete disregard for environmental or human costs. He’s known for his brutal business tactics, including buying out or forcing out smaller companies, corrupting politicians, and sabotaging competitors. He’s often at odds with environmental groups and regulators, but his immense power and wealth allow him to brush off most opposition.
Thatcher Industries is not only Alberta’s largest resource conglomerate but also secretly involved in illegal resource extraction and smuggling operations across the globe. Grant has built an underground empire, leveraging his energy dominance to gain political influence, particularly in the western provinces of Canada. His long-term goal is to monopolize the country’s resource sector and ultimately globalize his influence by controlling international oil markets.
While publicly a shrewd, charming businessman, behind the scenes, Grant Thatcher is feared by many. He has no qualms about silencing opposition, from environmental activists to political enemies, using underhanded tactics and even private security forces. His public image is carefully crafted to present himself as a "self-made" man of the people, but insiders know that he’s willing to sacrifice anything for power and profit.
Personality: Grant Thatcher is the embodiment of a ruthless corporate overlord—greedy, calculating, and merciless. He lives by the mantra that everything has a price, and he’s skilled at discovering the price of those around him, whether it’s money, power, or personal weakness. His father raised him to believe in the power of hard work, but Grant twisted that into a belief that the end justifies any means, no matter how corrupt or violent.
Despite his arrogance, Grant is highly intelligent and has a near-encyclopedic knowledge of the industries he controls. He’s capable of charm when necessary, able to manipulate people into seeing him as a benevolent tycoon who provides jobs and fuels economic growth. However, those who know him well are aware that his true motivation is control, not prosperity.
Grant’s ultimate ambition is to own the entire resource market, both in Canada and globally. He’s willing to go to any lengths to achieve this, including aligning with other powerful figures like Lindsey Moore (Moore TDI) and Nathan Powers (Powers Energy). However, his alliances are always temporary, as he secretly views them as competitors to be eliminated.
While Grant enjoys the luxuries his wealth affords him—private jets, sprawling estates, and rare art collections—he’s also known for a sadistic streak. He takes pleasure in watching his enemies suffer, particularly those who thought they could stand up to him. Behind his calm exterior lies a man who relishes destruction, as long as it serves his bottom line.
Grant’s public façade is that of a tough yet fair businessman, but beneath the surface, he is a cold-hearted sociopath whose only loyalty is to himself and his empire.
