Robert Graham

“Look on my Works, ye Mighty, and despair!”
– Percy Bysshe Shelley, Ozymandias

Appearance:
Ozymandias carries the air of a modern-day monarch—tall, impeccably dressed, and radiating an aura of power and influence. His sharp, calculating eyes and smooth demeanor often make him the center of attention in any room. His presence is commanding, and when he speaks, people listen, drawn to his charisma and self-assured nature. Though he rarely lets his guard down, Ozymandias’s voice carries an almost hypnotic quality, drawing others in while always maintaining an aura of mystery. There is a deliberate and controlled elegance to his movements, as though everything he does is purposeful, calculated to project strength and stability.
Background:
Robert Graham hails from Glasgow, Scotland, a city steeped in history and industry. His family had been wealthy for generations, but their influence began to wane as the world around them changed. Watching his family's empire crumble due to an unwillingness to adapt to the modern world left Robert with a deep desire to carve out his own legacy—one that would outlast time itself. Leaving Scotland behind as a young adult, Robert came to the United States and quickly established himself in the financial sector. With a blend of old family money and his own sharp intellect, he founded Imperium Asset Management, a firm that focuses on high-level investment strategies, mergers, and acquisitions. His company grew rapidly, known for its ability to turn struggling ventures into highly profitable operations. While his business thrived, Robert began to see the limitations of his power—no matter how much wealth and influence he amassed, everything would eventually decay, just as his family’s wealth had. His Awakening occurred during a pivotal moment in his rise to power, where the stress of a high-stakes business deal and the fragility of his own control led to a profound realization: power, like all things, would inevitably crumble. But true power lay in controlling that decay—shaping it, guiding it, and using it to his advantage.
With his Awakening, Robert embraced his new identity as Ozymandias, a figure who would command not only wealth and influence but the very forces of Mind and Space. He uses his abilities to subtly influence others, shaping their perceptions and guiding them toward his grand vision. His firm is now a hub of influence, operating behind the scenes to direct major financial movements, while Ozymandias himself moves in the shadows, manipulating the minds of those who hold power.
Personality:
Ozymandias is a complex figure—benevolent in his intentions, yet ruthlessly calculating in his actions. He sees himself as a benevolent ruler, offering wealth, prosperity, and opportunities to those who serve his grand vision. However, beneath the surface, he views most people as tools in his larger scheme, instruments to be used and discarded when no longer useful. His ability to inspire loyalty is immense, but trust is something he holds very sparingly. He maintains a small inner circle of highly trusted individuals, but he never fully lets anyone get close enough to truly know him. Despite his cold, calculating exterior, Ozymandias is not without compassion. He genuinely believes that his leadership and vision are for the greater good, that the world will be better off once he shapes it to his idealized version. However, he’s acutely aware of the dangers of unchecked power and strives to maintain control over all variables, while constantly studying the dynamics of power and decay. He is deeply introspective, often pondering the paradoxes of life and power. His obsession with legacy and the idea that all things must eventually crumble fuels both his personal and professional endeavors. His growing understanding of time, space, and the fragility of human ambition means he is always planning several steps ahead, preparing for both the highs and inevitable lows of his grand design.
Company:
Imperium Asset Management is Ozymandias’s financial empire, founded with a combination of old family wealth and his own ingenuity. The firm specializes in high-level financial management, including mergers, acquisitions, and large-scale investments. Its clients are the wealthy elite—politicians, business magnates, and influential figures—whom Ozymandias uses as pawns to further his vision. The firm’s meteoric rise in the financial world has made it a shadowy, yet powerful player, operating both publicly and covertly to influence the global economy. Under his direction, Imperium Asset Management is more than just a financial firm; it is the backbone of a web of influence that extends across multiple industries and regions.
