No one really knows how it happened, to be honest.
It makes a certain amount of sense, though: Corporations are considered to
be individuals in the eyes of the law, and as they are human fabrications,
sooner or later an Ethereal based on one would crop up. I mean, look at the
extent to which Microsoft is personified, and with all the cyberpunk
literature on Megacorps, it was bound to happen.
Still, nobody is sure exactly how Pendrathias managed to possess a
corporation. He just knows it happened one day. There he was, minding his
own business - well, the business of the Fortune 500 exec he was currently
inhabiting, actually - and he started thinking along the above lines. Well,
Kyriotates are known for their intrepidity, and Pendrathias (Pender to his
friends) thought it would be goofy, harmless to fun to try and inhabit the
exec's corporation.
Next thing Pender knew, he was the Corporation.
Needless to say, it shocked him. Enough to make him bounce out of the
corporation, immediately ascended to his heart and make a beeline to Marc's
office. By the time his Archangel managed to fit the Domination into his
schedule, Pender had managed to collect himself enough to give a rational
accounting of what happened. Naturally, Marc wanted a demonstration, so he
had Pender try to inhabit one of the many holding companies used to finance
Heavenly operations on the corporeal.
Needless to say, Marc was shocked when Pender was able to tell him, in
exacting detail, the performance of every division in the company, including
stock prices on the NASDAQ, Wall Street and Nikkei indices. Especially the
corporate black ops programs.
Becoming Worded was pretty much a formality after that.
Elohim and other celestials of intellectual bent have theorized that Pender
somehow manifested the ability to possess Ethereal constructs based upon
corporations; i.e. a business is incorporated, becoming an individual at
least in theory, and the subsequent personification of said corporation
turns it into an ethereal, which Pender is then able to possess. At the
behest of Blandine Pender has attempted to posses 'typical' ethereals, but
has had no success in the matter. Right now, the consensus seems to be that
Pendrathias was in the right place at the right time when his Kyrio nature
and the Word of Trade somehow intersected with ineffability.
Pender really doesn't care to know how it works; he's just thrilled that it
does. Marc currently uses him in intelligence and counter-intelligence
operations, and continues to help the Domination grow. Maybe one day, with
time and experience, Pender will be able to grant his ability to possess
corporations to angels serving him.
And that's a divided Marc intends to profit from.
Angel of Corporations: Pender can inhabit a corporation. Of course, he
really can't do anything as a corp: Monty Python aside, business ventures
don't leave their addresses and go cruising about town. However, because of
their Dissonance conditions, Kyrios have gotten very good about determining
the health and welfare of their hosts, and Pender is no exception. Once
inside a corporation, Pender knows what its current financial situation is
and has access to all information that is held by CEOs, CFOs, CIOs, the
President of the Board of Directors, etc. Note that this information is not
immediately known: Pender has to look for it. But if it affects the
corporation, then the legal entity knows about it, and therefore Pender can
find out.
As a rule of thumb, assume all corporations have 5 Forces. Add a Force for
each additional continent in which the corporation has branches; Japan
counts as a continent in this instance. Add an additional Force if the
corporation can be considered a monopoly.
