Onimako Consulting

It is odd to consider a single individual as an “organization.” However, Mr. Onimako is a truly unique case. His personal power and knowledge are singularly formidable, but what makes him stand out on the greater stage of international finance is the incredible network of connections and resources at his immediate command. Onimako is, on one hand, a cipher. Even the most exhaustive research turns up only the following information on his past: No record can be found for his birth. He was raised at an impoverished orphanage in Fukuoka, Japan. He left both the orphanage and organized education at the end of Jr. High School. As near as anyone can tell, he has never attended any college or university. At the age of nineteen, he made the front page of the Wall Street Journal and the London Financial Times for single-handedly brokering an eight-way merger between companies from the U.S., the U.K., Russia, Germany, and Taiwan. From that point on, Mr. Onimako became the most sought-after financial consultant in the world, and his every move has been recorded, analyzed, dissected, and lauded in the pages of every industry news source. He is the person to watch, the leader to follow, and the single factor that brokerage houses, banks, national treasuries, and world leaders try hardest to anticipate. Mr. Onimako has repeatedly turned down offers to be partner, President, CEO, CFO, or Chairman of the Board for most of the Fortune 500 companies, not to mention seats on the last five Presidents’ cabinets. Despite his success, Mr. Onimako has never even given public consideration to opening a company of his own. “The world of high finance is too risky for me,” he is often quoted as saying. “However, if my opinion may be of assistance to braver souls, then I am glad to give it.” Give it, that is, for an astronomical consulting fee and (usually) a percentage of revenue. Members of the Shadow community recognize that Mr. Onimako is a snakeblooded human, but there is no proof (or even any solid evidence) that he uses any sort of magical or supernatural powers in his work. He might be celebrated as the biggest mainstream Shadow Kind success story if even his own people did not fear the power he wields. Mr. Onimako truly is force for himself, and himself alone. In rare instances, Mr. Onimako might hire individuals to do work for him. But this would be on a case-by-case basis, so they would not actually be considered members of this organization. He never supplies materials for his agents. Instead he arranges for other business partners of his to provide equipment and services at a discount price but requires his employees to purchase materials out of their own pockets.
