Delphic Inustries

An international holding company and conglomerate with interests in Freedom City (and most of the world, for that matter), Delphic Industries is far from a household name. Some of its subsidiary companies are better known, and Delphic occupies a suite of offices in Pyramid Plaza downtown where it quietly goes about its daily business.

Structure

Delphic’s controlling shareholder, the vastly wealthy Constantine Urallos, regularly visits Freedom City on business, and is fond of staying at hotels on the Southside Boardwalk where he can also indulge his fondness for late-night casino gambling.
Constantine Urallos is a business man of variable levels of notoriety but unquestioned economic (and illegal) power. He has a high level of influence among the families of Freedom City, whether discussing the families of privileged wealth on Lantern Jack and the society pages or the families of the Southside. As head of Delphic Industries, he controls much of the information and money laundering for The Labyrinth. As controller of more than five multinational corporations (through various means and identities he heads the boards of directors), he covertly wields as much influence on world financial markets as the heads of the American Federal Reserve and the World Bank. Taurus recruited him in 1971 just after Constantine had taken over his second multinational, and revealed to him who was actually the source of his family's wealth for the previous 400 years. After an initial adjustment and a conversion from Catholicism to the worship of Hades, Urallos took on the role of Taurus' active agent in the business world.
Constantine Urallos has had four wives over his seven decades, none of whom lasted more than seven years of marriage to him. All of them became sacrifices to Hades in horrible accidents which led to the media-created Urallos Curse, suggesting his marriages were doomed to tragedy because his ancestors worshipped Ares and because he owned two weapons manufacturers. He and Taurus both laugh over these lies while the public pities the old philanthropist. Constantine has the filthiest sense of humor Taurus has ever encountered outside of Bacchus and Pan themselves, that along with his razor-sharp mind and ability to manipulate people and resources are why he enjoys the old man's company.
