Aerys Targaryen is dead. CEO and Chairman of West Corporation, the world's largest and most powerful multinational conglomerate, he wielded an incredibly amount of power world wide, both politically and economically. In his early years he was one of the most brillant businessmen the world had ever seen, but as he grew old and his company more unwieldy, he became paranoid and unstable, and behind his back people would whisper the nickname 'Aerys the Mad'.

His death has left vacant the position of the most powerful man, and now the in-fighting begins. The heir apparent, Rhaegar Targaryen, seems disinclined to take the position, content to remain the CEO of Targaryen Holdings. Meanwhile the CEOs of less companies and other family members jockey for positions, making deals and securing alliances - or plot to detach themselves from the Targaryen empire.
