	*Kazan has the personality of a bull shark. She's aggressive, confident, and ruthlessly efficient. She demands competence and professionalism from her associates, and will make it perfectly clear when they are not living up to her standards. Her authority is backed by both her corporate influence and the mil-spec security guards that follow her around. Arms dealing's a dangerous business.		*Kazan has the personality of a bull shark.

	A hard-assed and hyper efficient Ares ~~executive~~ working in the shadows to expand her influence. ~~She sees~~ the ~~Invae problem in upper leadership as an opportunity; if she can stomp those insects out~~, ~~then she'll be the one to claim their spot.~~		A hard-assed and hyper efficient Ares manager working in the shadows to expand her influence. Although nominally part of the public sales division, Kazan's true role is that of a medium for off the books arms deals. A personal philosophy of psychotic social fascism means that she doesn't have a single moral qualm about her work. She will gladly sell to anyone who pays, up to and including syndicates and terrorist groups. It's all about the power; even the profits come secondary to her position within the company. Her ability to command. Thanks to an awakened spy Kazan has recently become aware of her leadership's Invae infestation, but rather than seeing a disaster she senses an opportunity. I mean, when else is she going to have an excuse to legally assassinate her direct superiors? The bugs are playing her game now, and she's yet to meet one that could beat good 'ol fashion UCASian arms.

	~~===Background===~~
	~~Some people become corpos to live a life of luxury. Miriam~~ Kazan ~~does it for the thrills. Ever since she was a kid she~~'s ~~been excited by the cutthroat world~~ of ~~Ares Macrotechnology, with its swaggering executives and their often deadly power plays. Upon graduating college she landed in the company's sales division and quickly set about carving~~ a ~~place~~ for ~~herself at~~ the ~~top~~. ~~She pursues profit by any~~ means ~~necessary, dealing arms to governments and criminals alike; she sells to both sides of any given conflict so~~ that ~~she always comes out on top. Her career's been built on tens of thousands of bodies and~~ she doesn't ~~feel~~ a ~~second of remorse~~. She ~~won~~, ~~they lost~~. ~~That~~'s ~~just how~~ the ~~game is played~~.

	~~As a high ranking Ares executive,~~ Kazan ~~is well~~ aware of ~~the true situation in Chicago. She has strong suspicions about the Invae in~~ her ~~corp~~'s ~~leadership~~, ~~which were recently confirmed by an awakened spy under her employ. Rather~~ than ~~being concerned~~ she ~~sees this as the~~ opportunity ~~of a lifetime~~. ~~Interplanar monsters or not the~~ bugs are playing her game, and ~~if she plays her cards right~~ she'~~ll be perfectly justified in murdering her direct superiors~~. ~~Kazan firmly believes that metahumanity will triumph over the Invae, and she seeks to make herself the CEO of Ares in the process~~
