Helion Investment Strategists are the visionary architects behind the Helion Combine’s vast financial empire. Operating far beyond the grasp of local markets or planetary politics, these Strategists shape entire sectors through long-term economic planning, resource allocation, and precisely timed investments. They do not merely follow trends—they create them, ensuring that prosperity or collapse serves the Combine’s interests at every turn. A mining colony’s rise, a trade war’s timing, or a currency’s collapse can all be traced back to their subtle hand.
What sets them apart from conventional financiers is their ability to perceive patterns beyond the purely material. Through disciplined intuition and arcane training, many Strategists possess a heightened awareness of risk, opportunity, and timing that borders on the supernatural. Their decisions often seem prophetic, their foresight uncanny. While others react to crises, Helion Investment Strategists have already moved their assets, shifted alliances, and quietly ensured that when the dust settles, the Combine holds the winning stake.
All
Helion Portfolio Access: May use a Helion-backed fund to call in financial pressure on an NPC, buy out a service or location, or create a temporary economic advantage for their party (e.g. sudden price drops, hired local support, legal protection). They must, however, argue their case to their superior before funds are released.
Holds direct communication lines to Helion’s upper councils, giving them rare access to confidential trends and early political intelligence.
No Destructive or Direct-Effect Magic: Barred from using spells that deal damage or create overt physical effects (e.g., Fire, Electromancy, Void).
Tied to Helion Interests: All actions must align with Combine goals—if found acting in personal interest or aiding enemies of Helion, the Strategist is stripped of access, immunity, and backing.
