The Board of Directors

= The Board of Directors =
Controlling a unified world alone is hard enough but controlling a broken one alone is nearly impossible and even a great man such as The Chairman can’t control all of his creation which is where the Board Of Directors come in. The Board of Directors (BoD) are the closest people to the Chairman, people even closer than those in the Table of Military Leadership, people who gained the Chairman’s trust through blood, sweat and tears but most importantly, sacrifice. The BoD are people that were there through the Chairman’s journey and throughout his journey they faced the same trials he did and some even faced worse. Unlike TOMLs, the BoD have powers that extend far beyond that of war, and to hold such a position is to be venerated with the highest honor achievable within the Corporation. Some consider a promotion to BoD as being based on luck, some say fate, but they all agree on one thing. It is not free, the price is often your humanity.
== BOD-1: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
By far the most senior member of the Board of Directors, BOD-1 has been a member of the AEGIS Corporation since its founding, facing many hardships alongside the Chairman. BOD-1 is a member of a secretive organization known as  the “Jelluson Family”, his relationship with the family grants him an immortality similar to that of the Chairman’s. Long ago BOD-1 stood with the Chairman on his noble goal of uniting Humanity, but now that goal has been twisted and malformed, he now holds disturbing beliefs such as Humanity not being worth saving as generally we are morally corrupt creatures. BOD-1 is still an active member of the Board of Directors, and although he has never actively rebelled in order to further his beliefs, he has had a profound impact on making the Border the apathetic place it is today. Due to his close proximity and loyalty to the Chairman, he functions as the Administrative Overwatch for every division in the corporation.
== BOD-2: Status: [DECOMMISSIONED - TREASON] ==
Being one of the most skilled members in terms of combat BoD-2 knows what war can do to a person and he used this to his advantage manipulating his way to the top taking a few souls before getting to the peak. BoD-2 always had a huge lust for power and before the world broke down he was one of the people on the top, one of the people making the big decisions. Once the world was in ruins, so was his power, he could not do anything, he could not control anything and this slowly drove him mad as if he was having a withdrawal but soon he found an answer, the AEGIS corporation. He fought in all the wars by the Chairman’s side slowly gaining his trust and as time went on he started to gain the power he once lost, but he had a terrible secret, a secret that could once again strip him of that power. See, BoD-2 was a web-weaver, a man who knew how to sow seeds of intrigue unlike any other. He plotted out the demise of the Chairman and line of succession that would bring the corporation to him, however, no matter how many people he bribed and blackmailed to get them to turn their backs, it was ultimately the Chairman himself that saw what was going on and … dealt … with BoD-2.
== BOD-3: Status: [UNKNOWN] ==
BoD-3 is the most mysterious and youngest of the three Board members and not much is known about them. They were born in a small remote settlement after the creation of AEGIS and after the Resource wars, they always saw the AEGIS corporation as a savior of sorts a corporation that could establish world peace so they applied to AEGIS as usual starting from the lowest of ranks, as an Initiate, they worked hard, harder than ever before to reach the rank of BoD but this was not where their story ends. They started to do some digging into AEGIS as they grew suspicious of what the AEGIS corporation was really up to, “a corporation that could secure world peace?” there must be something wrong. As they dug through old files they found the dark secrets of what AEGIS does, testing on wastelanders, injecting them with disease. Ripping apart soldiers to make them HRs’ own personal bodyguards. The rest of the Board felt nothing towards wastelanders but with BoD-3 coming from the wasteland himself he was shocked by this revelation. What happens next is lost knowledge, some say he was tortured and killed by the Chairman, others say that he stole the files and sold it to raiders, some even say he committed suicide over this revelation, but most say he ran, ran from AEGIS, ran from his home, ran from it all.
== BOD-4: Status: [DECEASED - SUICIDE] ==
BoD-4 was a lot more empathetic than the rest of the members and was always questioning the ethics of the AEGIS corporation. This was mainly due to BoD-4 having the ability to know exactly how people were feeling and the only reason they joined the AEGIS corporation was because of family ties as BoD-5 was their very own sibling.  With BoD-5 also being the Administrative Overwatch for ARD BoD-4 also received special privileges to spectate and sometimes even host experiments but when BoD-4 found out what the AEGIS corporation does to subjects they started to question everything they knew, BoD-5 was oblivious of this so BoD-5 kept allowing BoD-4 to spectate more…interesting…experiments but what pushed BoD-4 to the limit was when they were assigned by BoD-5 to host the [REDACTED] experiments, one of the harshest experiments ever made, this pushed them over the edge and after being responsible for such a slow death on a subject BoD-4 could not take the guilt so they took their own life which did not just affect the corporation by raising other’s suspicions but it also changed BoD-5 for the rest of their life.
== BOD-5: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
BoD-5 was always a ruthless person, and wasn’t afraid to do what had to be done to protect the AEGIS corporation. Unlike their sibling, BoD-4, they had no feelings for the people being experimented on and even at times enjoyed it. Since they were so intrigued in the experiment department, The Chairman personally appointed BoD-5 as the Administrative Overwatch of ARD. Although BoD-5 was very tough, the one thing that BoD-5 cared about more was family, meaning BoD-4 and BoD-5 always wanted what was best for them so they presented BoD-4 with many opportunities within the AEGIS Research Division but after BoD-4 committed suicide BoD-5 was never the same. They slowly started to descend into madness becoming even more ruthless than they were before they had no emotion, no feeling for anybody, and blindy took orders from the Chairman even if that meant committing war crimes, BoD-5 no longer existed BoD-5 had become more than a killer, they had become a monster. Upon his own request after becoming a member of the Board of Directors, he became the administrative overwatch of MDF.
== BOD-6: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
Known as a pragmatist, BOD-6 Is well respected throughout the corporation, his administrative and logistical genius is also the subject of high praise even within the Board of Directors. BOD-6 has gained the reputation of also handing down harsh punishments within the corporation if incompetence or corruption ever came to light, giving him an evermore positive reputation in the public. BOD-6 is generally considered the second most influential and powerful BOD, of course behind BOD-1. Luckily he uses his influence for good rather than to benefit himself, acting as a bulwark against any further brutality that BOD-5 and BOD-1 wish to institute. He also is open about his disagreements with certain aspects of AEGIS, leading to limited reform for the greater good. Currently he resides as the Administrative Overwatch for Site Control, BoD-6 also administers internal programs regarding the recruitment of AEGIS as well as the AEGIS Officer Academy.
== BOD-7: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
Unlike every other individual on this list BoD-7 is a female, although it doesn’t make much difference, it is nevertheless an important detail. BoD-7 is a renowned propagandist, essentially founding the AEGIS Public Information Agency, essentially a propaganda ministry. BoD-7 first realised her skills in mass manipulation when working her way to the top of AHDP. Through her propaganda work she was capable of increasing subject compliance considerably, although the most important impact was the drastic decrease in violence via the posing done to make it seem as if excessive force would be utilized if there was violence when in fact if a group of subjects were to riot, AEGIS would be poorly equipped to handle them. Obviously as BoD-7 had been the manager of AHDP, she was also a long standing member of ARD and would become their Administrative Overwatch, as well as residing over the previously mentioned AEGIS Public Information Agency.
== BOD-8: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
BoD-8 is known for his various roles in the intelligence sector of the corporation. He was the director of a secretive organization within AEGIS that manipulated the market and world politics alike to meet the Chairman’s goal. His exceeding skill in this area however was not enough to solidify the world in unity before the outbreak of the Second Resource War. Despite his failures it is speculated BoD-8 was buiser after the outbreak of the Second Resource War as opposed to before it, whatever had been done in this time is regarded with such secrecy that few have ever been allowed to view the files involved, even most BOD. When AIA had officially been founded and BoD-8 selected as the UOC his prominence quickly brought him to the position of BoD, mostly because he already held the position in a de facto nature due to the amount of sensitive information few others had access to the corporation. BoD-8 had kept to the shadows for so long that most within the corporation had never heard his name before his promotion, nevertheless, his name would strike fear into those who had heard it as he rooted out any dissidence within the corporation with blood curdling precision. 
== BOD-9: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
Being born after the Second Resource War and knowing only the Last City for most of his life, BoD-9 was conscripted into a sharpshooting regiment during the VRAXIS wars, a soon to be STHD squadron. He was described as easy going and a fun person, and after a promotion to Unit Overwatch of STHD in order  to further mend STHD-MDF cooperation the corporation saw a true glimpse into BoD-9. It was after a battle amidst the countless ruins of cities that his men watched as he continued firing at the routing VRAXIS instead of joining their celebration. Due to the long range engagements with VRAXIS, STHD held nowhere near as much animosity towards VRAXIS as ground troops, so letting VRAXIS troops rout was commonplace within STHD, and anybody doing otherwise was essentially viewed as a war crime to STHD. They watched in astonishment as he fired his whole magazine before ordering them to continue firing. The first to open their mouth was met with a gunshot to the head. Treason, disobeying orders. In fear they all began shooting down the defenseless routing troops, and as the last of the VRAXIS army fell, Bod-9 ordered everyone to get up and prepare for evac. When asked about the STHD he had killed and what would happen to the body, he simply rolled it off of the abandoned building they were on top of. There was no doubt that BoD-9, although a sociable and overall enjoyable person, held no place for mercy within his heart. A perfect specimen. A quick rise through the ranks would lead him to UOC of STHD, and soon after a promotion to the Board of Directors. Through this whole process there was an awkward stigma surrounding him, everybody loved him, but they also heard the stories of how he would gun down 3 of his own men because they refused to open fire on non-combatants. BoD-9 is the living embodiment of dark and light living in harmony.
== BOD-10: Status: [ACTIVE] ==
BoD-10 was one of the pioneers of the AEGIS war doctrine, increasing the dated tactics of AEGIS at various levels in order to increase combat effectiveness. There is no doubt he was a tactical and logistical genius, however he also had one other personal belief that brought much controversy through his time as a Unit Commander. BoD-10 believed machines to be the true apex of life, and because of that he lobbied increasingly for the increase of funding and completion of the PK project. When the time came, he allowed himself to be the first subjected to limited Human-software neural linking. The successful use of his “new” brain would eventually lead to today's PKSF, although BoD-10 would never venture past brain modification despite his transhumanist beliefs. His personal expertise with dealing with the machine modifications meant he was an excellent candidate for training future PKSF soldiers. Although it was originally planned to keep him as an instructor for PKSF, it was eventually agreed upon that a fully converted PKSF cannot become a member of the Board of Directors due to their inability to consider certain methods of action. This left BoD-10 as the only logical choice, and it also made HICOM in general more comfortable with an actual PKSF operating as the UOC.
