A reclusive Crest trillionaire whose investments quietly prop up the orc economy — and whose money now buys the rights to Donut's beloved TV shows.
Harry Tisch surfaces only through others' talk on the eleventh floor: Zev notes that Odette's husband was first to buy the rights to every show Princess Donut has ever mentioned — the Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl craze sweeping the net — and that it may be the only thing keeping the orcs solvent. Rosetta fills in the rest: Tisch is not an orc but a Crest, a rarely-seen trillionaire investor whose thumb is in everything. Wanted by her people for tax fraud, he lives in the Skull Empire system under safe harbor secured by King Rust's council veto, paying the orcs a third of his earnings while slowly buying up their empire from the inside.
He met Odette by purchasing her warrant and keeps his finances rigorously separate from hers; Rosetta's raid on Rust only enriched him, as ruined survivors dump the assets he absorbs. His influence, she warns, is nearly invisible and nearly total.
