Väst

Mr. Väst is a character in V.E.R.S.I.O.N.. He is the transhuman CEO of the Coalescence Corporation.
Väst is six feet two inches tall and is described as having sturdy yet sinewy build and has blue eyes. Väst was born in Switzerland. He was originally employed by Coalescence working in data entry as teenager, as the company he was employed in was one of Coalescence's early acquisitions. He would rise through the corporate hierarchy until at some point becoming CEO. Reportedly, his annual earnings are equivalent to the gross domestic product of some countries. 
Väst is heavily augmented, apparently possessing dozens of mental and physical augmentations. However, his augmentations seem to be inconspicuous and are described as "tasteful", unlike most heavily augmented people who apparently blur the lines of what makes one human. His augmentations include increased physical strength, massive mental data storage, increased cognitive ability and secure mental data storage facilities. 
Väst is apparently quite charming. He also treats Bastien politely when the two first meet, despite the vast rank and experience disparity between the two of them. 
Väst does possess some humanistic leanings, apparently building his technologies for the betterment of humanity, but he also possesses an adherence to the bottom line, being quite happy to the sell to the highest bidder and ensure's Coalescence's revenue sources remain discrete from their official public products. In addition, Väst has no problem trying to ensure Coalescence faces little liability from any risks from their products; for example, he asked Bastien, in an off-the-record capacity, to make sure the Lung Boost Victims secondary transponders were wiped
