If you were trying to name the Governing Council of a Viperesque organization and wanted to allude that a couple of big name real world business types were on that council, who would you put there? Which real world businessmen would end up on the Governing Council of Viper?

Bill Gates, if only for the "No way" value.

Ken Lay. He's proven to be either criminally greedy and unethical or brilliantly stupid and unaware of what his underlings are doing. Take the first choice and you have your council man.

Ken Lay's a better choice than Gates... Gates is too obvious.Originally Posted by Enforcer84
Though I might take Steve Jobs... or better yet Steve Case.

Ted Turner for shock value.
If you want a Microsoft guy, less obvious is Paul Allen.
Yawner = Donald Trump but figured I'd put the name out.
if you want the arms-dealer/industrialist who is secretly alive, fooling people into thinking he aged and died, go for the Kennedy clan patriarch! Or use him as background in their history. I did, it's kinda cool.
Hmmm, I used to have a list for my evil organization but that's a prior campaign and several were obscure, deliberately. I won't be home until this weekend but let me know and I can check if you still need a list.

Whoever's in charge of Starbucks. We know they're evil from the Austin Powers movies.
So that's what an invisible barrier looks like.

Naw... I met Paul Allen... I couldn't do that to such a nice guy.
So far, my list is Lamar Hunt, Ted Turner, John Ashcroft, Joseph Kennedy (the supposedly "killed during WWII" Kennedy brother), and Awad bin-Ladin. I'll take more suggestions. <G>if you want the arms-dealer/industrialist who is secretly alive, fooling people into thinking he aged and died, go for the Kennedy clan patriarch!

Oh I was thinking of the father, "Honeyfitz". And he WAS an evil bastard.

Ooh ooh ooh the guy from Wal-mart, he's even famous in business circles as he was in fact a very ahead-of-his-time guy, oh, hang on...Sam Walton, there you go.
Uh, never mind, he's dead. Well if you want dead people I got plenty of suggestions apparently.
The Zombie Industrialist Scheme! Charles Lindburgh, Sam Walton, Honeyfitz Kennedy...

What if Howard Hughes faked his death?

Adnan Khashoggi or Ahmed Chalabi would be good.
Any one of those Russian oligarchs, like Mikhail Khodorkovsky(?).
Pretty much any CEO for Big Tobacco.
At least one DuPont.
It is unclear why the bear, which was wearing ice skates at the time, attacked Mr Potapov. The bear was later shot by police. Deadly attacks are rare in the country's circuses, which often train bears to wear skates and play ice hockey.
