Vinebit
In the world of international espionage, Vinebit is a name that strikes fear and respect into the hearts of its enemies. It is a leading organization, with an extensive network of private detectives and spies who are experts in digging up dirt on anyone who crosses their path. Vinebit is known for its surveillance, espionage, and stealth technology, which allows agents to enter camouflage states, corrupt or distort data, gather vital information, and escape undetected.
While Vinebit actively seeks to foster positive relations with other corporations and nations, many are hesitant to trust them to any extent. Thus, most of their business comes from independent agents, corporations, or nations looking to sabotage the competition. Vinebit primarily relies on Tempest for protection, but its agents are given some training in close quarters combat, blades, and evasion. However, the organization prefers its agents to avoid confrontation to the best of their abilities, as they deal in information, not death.
Unlike Tempest, many members of Vinebit are selected at a very young age. This is done because most skills necessary to have a chance of entering the Tempest organization are engrained throughout one’s life in Nerthach society, but to be successful within Vinebit, a new skill set is required. From a young age, the skills necessary to succeed are taught to prospective members.

Public Agenda
Vinebit's public agenda revolves around its reputation as a provider of specialized intelligence and surveillance services.

History
Vinebit was not founded until centuries after the Nerthach arrived on Abatesh Island, and emerged alongside numerous other corporations. Seen as an up-and-coming rival to the megacorporations of the capital city Men'lind, Vinebit became a target for such organizations. Seeing an opportunity to both increase their influence and impose their wealth and power over their competitors, Tempest Group purchased the majority of Vinebit shares. With this purchase, Vinebit found itself at the forefront of Nerthach society.
Serving as the information collection, surveillance, and espionage wing of Tempest, Vinebit redefined the definition of spywork. Under the current control of Iethre Birinzen, nicknamed the "Spider", Vinebit has experienced a renaissance. Business began to rapidly expand and, in some cases, the information flowing in was more than the organization could contain at the time. However, this issue was quickly remedied.
In tandem with Tempest, Vinebit stands as one of the most influential and profitable organizations in Nerthach society.

Love the placement of a Spymaster between the Director and the divisions.
What's even coolor, imo, is that USUALLY the Spymaster and the Director are one in the same. But not always. The Spymaster should have extreme familiarity with the lifestyle in order to run a successful business built on it... CEO's (as we know), don't always have that experience :P
