Tamantha Roosevelt
Born from a wealthy family of Grizzly industrialists, Thamantha decided not to take the path of Rockefeller or Carnegie or her own family. She decided instead to become a politician. At first, due to her status and natural personality of an upper-class mamono, she had difficulty gaining followers from the major crowd. She went to strides to change her image, posing in a picture studio as a frontier hunter, dressed in old fashion war clothing and welding army-issued weapons. These pictures and other things help transform her, and as she enlisted in Royal Makai's defensive army, the image she created becomes real. She becomes well known and respected for her tactical war plans, and after she retired the position was quickly made an overseer of a recently turned demon realm. She soon is seen as a friend of the lower class, using her power to clamp down on large businesses, and could not be controlled due to her families and her own personal wealth. Her endgame, she decided, will be the monopolies that ruled, and the ones behind them.
Morgan and Rockefeller know they can't buy Roosevelt, so instead set out to make her as weak as possible. As the new election becomes a rematch of the Hellhound and Dark Priest, they get McKinley to have Roosevelt run under her for vice chairman, which at the time wasn't much more than a place on the council. McKinley is reelected comfortably, and Roosevelt becomes the vice chairman of the global council. Now with their Priest still in position, and their new possible threat in a powerless position, Juliana and Johnson think that they have still protected their empires, but this time at the turn of the century, their plan might backfire.
Land of the Four Fiends
Leon was recently a single worker is was fired from his job at US Steel during Morgan's conversion. Now with no job, he took refuge in the chaos of the four fiends, growing increasingly resenting of McKinley and her relations to the aristocrats of industry. In only a short while, he decided to do something bold. He appeared at a rally of the Dark Priest far away from his dwelling, watching her speak to the crowd of the recent prosperity. Hiding his pistol under a cloth he was holding, he waited for the right timing. Finally, she finished her speech and went to walk down, greeting all that went up to her as she continued to her carriage. Leon went up to her, putting up a fake smile as he came in front of her. "Hello Chairman McKinley," he said, the Priest simply smiled back. "Hello, citizen. How do y-"
Bang. Went the sound of the gun under the cloth, Instantly, the people around Leon leaped to restrain him out of reflex, some instead trying to take Willimara to safety. The human got off a 2nd and 3rd shot before being subdued, the first two in her abdomen, and then next hitting her shoulder. As she bleeds out from the wounds, people crowded her, trying to get her to safety. Her vision soon grew hazy from trauma, and eventually, everything went dark.
The Chairman had died a day later from her critical injuries, unable to make a recovery in time. People mourned for her, but for Morgan and Rockefeller, it meant more than a deep sadness for a lost comrade. It meant that the person they put into Vice Chairman to shut down, just inadvertently became the new Chairman. News of the Grizzly's swearing-in soon spread, and everyone knew.
"Mistress?" Melisa said, coming in with the daily newspaper for her Wight. The Wight was playing pool in privately in her room. Juliana heard the door open and put down everything sitting the pool table. "Come in my pet. You brought the paper?"
"Yes, Mistress. Are you worried?" she responded, handing her master the roll of newspaper. Juliana started reading, her eyelashes lower than usual.
"Well, Roosevelt is now in a position where she can hurt us, but taking action takes time," the wight said, flipping the page to the next. "I wouldn't expect her to...to..." she trailed off, a headline catching her eye.
"Mistress?"
"...I want you to arrange a meeting in the Dragonian location of the Council. And make sure Roosevelt is there." Juliana stared at Melisa, her eyes glowing a hazy white.
"Y-you want me to get Roos-eep!" Melisa's ears were tugged, Juliana bringing her ear down in front of her mouth. "I said it loud in clear. Now do it."
"Y-yes Mistress!" The moment Juliana let go, the human ran out of the pool room closing the door behind her with a loud thud. Juliana sat back down on the pool table, now pissed off. She snapped her fingers causing the newspaper to ignite, the fire not going out until it was just a collection of ash.
Council HQ, Dragonia
Morgan walked in, wearing a much more formal dress that she would normally wear. One of the maids took her jacket with care as she stepped into Roosevelt's office. There sat Thamantha herself, licking some recent honey off her fingers of her hand. To her side, a jar the shape of a honeycomb sits on her desk, and some papers containing bills for her to sign. "It seems you're enjoying yourself here," Morgan said, putting on her polite smile for Roosevelt. "Well yes I am, I am now in a position that has the power to finally change for the people."
"Ahh yes change. We all love change, Teddy."
"That is true, which is why I requested that you break up your railroad conglomerate into smaller companies for others."
The Wight's smile faltered a little but stayed on. "Well, if there is a problem, we can just work it out like businessmen. Right?"
"No we can't," the Grizzly replied. "I am not a mere industrialist Morgan. I am a political power that shouldn't be reacting on your level. You have two days before I raise a case against you in court."
By now, the smile had completely faded from the Wight's face. For the first time in a long time, she felt challenged. "You...You wouldn't dare..."
"...She dared," the Wight said, drinking and playing cards with Carnegie and Rockefeller. They both looked at each other and back at Morgan, who was taking a sip of her glass of wine every time it was her turn. "She stared me in the eye and..." Finally, she looked up at the Gremlin and the Human, the Gremlin sipping from Heed's Flask. "Well, it has been a good run you two. Our companies done for."
And done for they were. Over Roosevelts' time as Chairman, and beyond, more and more monopolies fell down to the campaigns against them. Morgan, Carnegie, and Rockefeller suddenly found themselves, members of an older time, defending what was left of their global empires.
However, as everyone else fell, Rockefeller's Standard Oil has stood strong, holding off multiple breakups over multiple Chairmen. However, even Standard Oil wasn't able to hold off forever. Multiple kingdoms file a case against Standard Oil, in what will be the biggest case of all time, and they wanted the creator to be there to speak. Rockefeller goes on the run, going from Zipangu to the Mist and underwater to avoid testifying.
At least until something bigger intervenes. His daughter and her husband had just had their first daughter, and he now has his first granddaughter. It agonizes him that he isn't able to see her, especially since he knew what it was like to not have his father around. In the, end he turns himself in, agreeing to show...
...in defense of Standard Oil, the company he created...
...and in defense of an entire way of business, he helped create.
