Entertainment company, now Dream-owned, that coerced an elite into a suicide bombing on Carl.
When Baroness Victory cuts down the writhing Herman the Fleet, she identifies the bomb not as a legal attack but as "an unlawful assassination attempt by Sensation Entertainment," declaring she will call foul over it. The company has been purchased by The Dream, and Victory says she will file her grievance against the Dream as the new owners, for exerting undue influence on one of their own Elites in order to affect Faction Wars.
Herman's agonized "Been fighting it" makes clear the compulsion came from outside him, and Victory berates The AI both for the corporate foul and for failing to warn her that one of the faction's elites was being influenced.
Corporate owner of elite talent whose interference in Faction Wars nearly kills the Princess Posse's warlords.
